Let's Discuss... When should we become an activist?
Details
We all have values to uphold, but sometimes our values get challenged by our government, companies, or other countries. They may have a legitimate reason to challenge our values, but who should be judging that reasoning? What if we are not satisfied with the judgment? When should we defend our values, and how else can we defend them besides becoming an activist? Moreover, when should we consider becoming an activist?
When should we go out and assert our values? (if ever)
How much thinking should we do before we act?
What are the different types of activism? and is protesting the only way?
