One sentence that explains what oppression means is Cruel or unjust treatment that is prolonged. An example between violent and non-violent resistance is that violent resistance is when you are hurting someone or doing something that you are not supposed to. And nonviolent resistance is when you are not hurting anyone and doing what you are supposed to do. Agency means to do whatever you want when you are 18 or older because you can have a job you can buy a house and you can go to the club (The ability to determine the outcome of one’s own life). Oppressed people should use nonviolent resistance because violent resistance leads you to nowhere.
First of all the document that I chose supports my essay because it shows that people in my document was using violent resistance to gain agency. The document that I analyzed is about the Ferguson protest when the police officer shot Michael Brown for stealing from a store in Ferguson, Missouri. The document that I chose is a Article written by German Lopez on Jan. 27, 2016. This information from the document is trustworthy because this is something that actually happened. People used nonviolent resistance because more than 400 arrested and 61 injured. That evidence that I quoted shows that people that use nonviolent resistance because 400 people will not get arrested and 61 won’t be injured because they are not harming the police or anyone.
Second of all the document that I will choose will support my Essay because it is showing us that people should use nonviolent resistance. The document that I analyzed is about SCF, SeeClickFix is a website that tries to help the community by fixing the streets and cleaning graffiti. This document is a poster and data created by Fremont High School student work and Jason Muniz and it was created on April 27 2018. This document is trustworthy because it already helped way much more people in Oakland and i’ve used this website as well. One quote that supports my Question is that they are using nonviolent resistance because they are helping people throughout the Oakland community. This shows that people should use nonviolent resistance because if you us violent resistance you will get in trouble and go to jail for a long time.
Finally the document that I will choose is the Oscar Grant Protest I chose because there was violent resistance used in this protest as well which is not good because there was a lot of people arrested. This document is about Oscar Grant and how he got murdered and what happened before he got murdered. This document is an Article created by Jesse McKinley on
JAN. 8, 2009. This Document is trustworthy because it shows me why he got murdered and what happened before he got murdered. One quote that supports my answer to the question is that they were using violent resistance because they were fighting in the bart then the bart Police came and arrested them then the police shot Oscar Grant then Oscar grant died in the Hospital. Oppressed people should use nonviolent resistance because the same thing can happen to you as well get arrested and then shot by police for no reason.
