Rebellion

Do people have the right to rebel? Why or why not?
What is an issue you would rebel over? Why?
What would it take for your family to leave a country?
What would you need to leave?


Of course people have the right to rebel. One of the basic human rights is "right of speech". If you have this right, other people have to accept that you are going to use it. People have to be able to deal with the fact that other might be passionate about a certain topic and really want to make a difference. So, I believe that they have to expect some resistance. I do however believe that people should not use violence to rebel. They should find a way to contradict without violence. But I definitely believe that they have the right to do so. Both parties, the receiving and the giving side have to be able to cope

An issue I would rebel over…well, in my opinion rebel is a very strong word. It's a word used when someone starts to get upset. I want to and try to not rebel, rather just say my opinion, disagree, discuss. But not, rebel. In regards to an issue, there are many things where opinions clash in daily lives. Some are smaller and of less significance and some are larger and might seem more important.

For my family to leave a country, my dad's job would have to tell us to leave. We have lived in countries where one might say, "there were harsh conditions". And we have decided to stay. I have grown up in countries where there is war and constant conflict and we have never left because of that. We have left for medical care which was better in our home country. We have also left because situations got very difficult and more than half of the families in our school had been evacuated. We didn't want to be in the situation where we would be told "you have to leave the country in two days, pack your things". 

To leave, I would need my family to come with me, obviously. It would be nice though if we could take our belongings with us. I couldn't imagine having to leave everything behind, even though I have been very close to that many times. In my opinion there is a big difference between "needing" and "wanting" something.
