Authorities enforce rules. The rules enforced might or might not be received by the subjects. In most cases, the oppressive rules are made to benefit the minority who are in power at the expense of the majority. Oppressive rules are rules that are not popular to the subjects. They have a characteristic of letting the majority being used to maximize gain on the part of the few who are in power. As a result, the subjects could find a way of protesting against oppressive rule. The question at hand is whether to use violent or nonviolent methods of protesting. Nonviolent methods are peaceful and intelligently expressed (Hedican 2013, p. 234). They include the use of dialogue and official communication to bring both parties to an understanding. On the other hand, violent methods involve the use of force to get demands. They are associated with destruction of property as well as acute misunderstanding with the authority.
