As Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as cooperation with good” (Herbert, 2012). According to Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, their principles should be given priority over the laws created by the majority. Laws are not formed based on the best point of view; rather, they are created by the majority who simply have more power. In today's society, workers in the fast food industry in the United States are faced with low wages and inhumane working conditions. Resistance, nonviolence and disobedience are justifiable as they attempt to create social change. While there may be limitations, civil disobedience offers these workers the means to resist power and address their daily struggles. By participating in acts of civil disobedience, you deliberately refuse to follow the laws as a peaceful form of protest. These laws face resistance from people as they believe their basic human rights are being violated. Civil disobedience requires a certain form of moral and tactical work. Moral work requires making a distinction between what is considered right and what is unjust. It requires that you fully commit to your ethics and beliefs and accept the consequences that follow without objection. According to Gandhi's practice of "satyagraha", non-violence is essential: "'violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil, and since evil can only be supported by violence, the withdrawal of support for evil requires complete abstention from violence'" (Eknath, 62). ). Civil disobedience approaches the idea of ​​social change without creating destruction or violating the rights of another. Tactical work plans to achieve a specific goal. Collectively reject all... half of the paper... d. The nonviolent approach of resisting power can go on for years before change is actually achieved. The first protests against the fast food industry began in 2012, and two years later workers are still fighting to be heard. Civil disobedience gives fast food employees the means to peacefully resist power and address the minimum wage struggle they are facing. Through tactical work, they can attempt to create social change for workers across the United States. As Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi once did, people should put their fundamental rights first and follow the rules of the majority second. Fast food workers are unable to live or provide for their families on the wages they currently earn. By resisting minimum wage laws they can raise awareness and create a movement demanding change.
