Civil Disobedience

Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey a certain amount of laws or commands put by the government. It is formally, a nonviolent resistance or respectful disagreement. Henri David Thoreau's essay in 1849 on "Resistance on civil government" was then renamed "Essay on civil disobedience". By the time his lectures were published, named "Civil Disobedience", four years after his death,in 1866, the term had achieved usage and was taken into consideration.
In order to seek and form of civil disobedience, one must intentionally break certain laws, such as taking a facility illegally. People have expected that they'll be caught and beaten by the authorities. Mahatma Ghandi has outlined certain laws of civil disobedience as he led India to Independence by the British Empire, and those laws were: no anger, never retaliate surrender personal property when confiscated by the authorities but to refuse the property that is held in trust.

Ronald Dworkin stated that there are three forms of civil disobedience:


1.Integrity based civil disobedience, it's when a person disobeys a law that he feels is unethical.
2.Justice based civil disobedience is when a person disobeys laws in order to claim some right that was denied to him.
3. Policy based civil disobedience occurs when a person breaks a law in order to change a policy he/she thinks is wrong.


In Egypt we had a great example of civil disobedience, they said that there will be in 11/2/2012, but nothing happened, everything functioned normally, only a minority had protested. And it was a policy-based civil disobedience, at the end it had no affect on the government or the people.

Qualities Of A Good Friend

First let us define what the meaning of friend is, he or she's your companion, we can even say your soulmate, he completes your life, because without friends, you're nothing; you need them as much as they need you. Now, we have to know how to pick our good friends. A good friend has to be honest, that doesn't necessarily share with you every second of his life, but the relation between you two has to be smooth and comfortable, not so formal. A good friend is unique, interesting, and this is probably the first reason you became friends with him in the first place, because you have a lot of common interests. A good friend always has to be adaptable, to figure out weather you are sad or happy or excited, and if he annoys you, tries to find a way to stop it. He also has to support your goals, a good friend will know what you want most out of this life. Always listen to your friend before talking, put him before yourself. And when he does something wrong, hate the act, not the friend, don't judge him cruelly. Of course, a good friend has to be someone you can always trust and count on. Be loyal to your friend, show that you support him and respect his ideas and beliefs, and always be a giver, not a taker, because when you give, you always gain something in return, and that something would be the love of your friends.
