What is the Best Way to Cause Change? As eight grade students, the thought that our ideas which we will one day share with others might have a dramatic impact on history seems very preposterous. This may be because it is extremely challenging to get one’s ideas noticed by eminent members of society, especially if those ideas happen to be contradictory to humanity’s conventional habits or way of life. Causing change is a strenuous and involved task, but the impacts that come as a result are almost always worthwhile. The best ways to cause such change are to have a clear idea of what needs to be changed, and to remain non-violent in your approach.

Along with knowing exactly what you want to change, to be non violent in your actions is another way to cause change. If you show that you want change and you express so in a peaceful way, you are more likely to get a positive reaction from people who may support your cause. The African Americans were non-violent during the Civil Rights Movement to show that change can

In the final stanza, the poem shifts tones as the speaker begins to directly address his target audience. “If it some smothering dreams you too could pace/Behind the wagon we flung him in.” At this point it is clear that Owen and his fellow soldiers have picked up their comrade that has breathed in the poison gas and flung him in a wagon.

Is Intervention Ever Justified?

justice and human rights. Intervention is a liberalist idea because it is there to seek progress and liberty. So, it is then easy to say that the intervening that the U.S. did in Iraq in 2003 was not justified because there was immediate danger to the U.S. and or any of its allies.
