Throughout history there have been many movements started within our society. Movements, in theory, to better the quality of life for others. However, sometimes these movements can do more harm than good.
Examples of movements in history you might know about:
- Women’s Suffrage
- Civil Rights Movement
- The Marquis
- The Anti-War protests of the 60s-70s
Examples of movements that went too far and lead to more hazardous results:
- The IRA
- The Russian Revolution
- The Chinese Revolution
Today we see movements such as Black Lives Matter, a movement to end racial inequality and discrimination among the black community.
The intentions of BLM are good on paper however some would say the movement has made horrible choices we publicly demonstrating. From riots, looting, and and racism all being some of the after effects, do you think that some who follow the Black Lives Matter movement have become fanatical and are causing more harm than good?
