Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Suggested Response:
The examples for each will vary according to the student's experiences.
1 – Dialoguing with those in power to convince them to change. Example: I tried to talk my mother into recycling paper and glass products.
2- Peaceful confrontation Example: When I was mad at my mother and didn't want to go into the store with her, I crossed my arms and refused to move from the car.
3 – Applying economic pressure Example: I refuse to buy products that are tested on animals.
4 – Researching issues to define the problem and come up with possible solutions. Example: Several students have been killed crossing the street from the grocery store to the front of their dorms. I researched the possibility of placing a stop light with walker controls in the area and presented it to the college council.
5- Establish an inside-outside alliance Example: Before I presented the stop light with walker controls in front of the dorms, I got several members of the college council to endorse the idea.
6 – Violence to demonstrate frustration Example: I have never resorted to violence but I have seen reports of violence during the occupy Wall Street sit ins.
