Radical group protests have a negative impact on society. Protestors are filled with many emotions and being a part of a group with strong opinions allowed to chant and protest in public can brings out the worst in people. People begin fight for the different things they believe in and allow hate to take over. Instead of bringing the country together, it can tear the nation apart. One of the most recent protests was when women were marching against President Trump’s inauguration in the Women’s March on January 21, 2017. Millions of women worldwide and around 500,000 in Washington D.C. came together with signs, pink hats, and sometimes offensive costumes to show their disgust for our new President.

In the article, she references a photograph taken of Angela Peoples, a black protester at the march. In the photo, Ms. Peoples is seen holding a sign that says “Don’t Forget: White Women Voted for Trump.” Behind her are three white women wearing their pink matching hats representing female pride. This photo was highly circulated among black women and one was even quoted as saying “I’ll see you nice white ladies at the next #BLACKLIVESMATTER march, right?” This does not sound like women supporting women to me. This sounds like racial divide and racial tension among the group protesting just such a thing. Black women were reminded of the suffrage movement, when they had to fight for the right to vote. And then there is Rosa Parks, the infamous black lady who refused to give up her seat on the bus at the time of racial segregation. Ms. Parks is an icon in the black community and in our nation. Her bravery and strong will made changes in laws and reformed many ways of thinking for the country. But Rosa did not do this by rallying her friends together with tacky signs and costumes.

It was not an easy task for her but not once did she give up her dignity as a woman to stand up for her right as a black American woman. There were many signs equating gender justice with racial justice. Costumes designed to look like vaginas were proudly displayed. But does equating vaginas with feminism really represent gender equality? What about the transgender people who were in attendance supporting the cause? Do these costumes accurately represent
Have you been feeling drab lately? Do you look at others who are happier and more successful than you and feel like a failure? The problem is that you're ignoring engrams accumulated in past lives. Unwanted emotions and memories of trauma accumulate in the reactive mind, leading to anxieties and mental illnesses. There's no reason to feel ashamed because you are not the only starving sailor in this boat. That strip of land you see in the distance, that glimmer of hope to get you going is...

The women’s march was not organized to unseat Mr. Trump as president of the United States. The purpose of the inevitable protest was to serve as a wake up call for the president to make his decisions henceforth based on evidence, reports and studies, but not mere sentiments. The rhetoric during the campaign activated the panic button in those protesters. Now that Trump is president, his success is our success as a nation (economy, immigration, terrorism). Nonviolent protests (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.) organized to draw attention to our pains and struggles strengthen our democracy. Let’s pray for the new president for wisdom to lead this great nation and give him a chance.

A tomboy. A “negro”. An outsider. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, Maycomb is filled with prejudice and stereotypes. Much like today, people believe there is a certain way things are meant to be. Prejudice and stereotypes have only evolved throughout the past 90 years.

In the past, it has been a technique simply to show you feel that your situation, a law or a proposition is not justified, in your eyes. Protesting in that way does not damage society, however protests too often escalate to anger and violence, diminishing the validity of the cause being demonstrated.
