What is a Political Protest?

Ok, sooo I know how difficult it can be trying to understand what the task at hand is completely. So what I am going to here is to try and break it down for you so you can understand it a little bit better.

Ok, so in Central (my university) we have certain assignments which are called Performance Demonstrations. In a Perf Dem what we have to generally have to do is to explore, contest or challenge a concept or theory through a performance. So your Political Protests are practically the same.

What you need to do is demonstrate through a performance a form of protest for what your groups protesting against.

If you still don't understand feel free to ask me any questions...

What makes something Political?

Gandi's Salt March

A protest against British taxation sent Mahatma Gandhi on a 23-day, 240-mile journey to the coast of India to collect his own salt, which was illegal under crown laws. More than 60,000 people, including Gandhi himself, were incarcerated for participating in the salt march, but it ultimately turned the tide of world sympathy towards Indian, rather than British interests.

Tiananmen Square

In the late 1970s, the Chinese leadership of Deng Xiaoping abandoned Maoist-style planned collectivist economics, and embraced market-oriented reforms. Due to the rapid pace of change, by the late 1980s, grievances over inflation, limited career prospects for students, and corruption of the party elite were growing rapidly. Communist governments were also losing legitimacy around the world, particularly in Eastern Europe. In April 1989, triggered by the death of deposed Communist Party General Secretary Hu Yaobang, a liberal reformer, a mass gatherings and protests took place in and around Tiananmen Square. At its height, some half a million protesters assembled there. The demonstrations, consisting of local working residents as well as students, called for government accountability, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and the restoration of workers' control over industry. Peaceful protests also occurred in other cities, such as Shanghai and Wuhan, while looting and rioting broke out in Xi'an and Changsha.

Votes for Women Movement

Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote and to run for office. Limited voting rights were gained by women in Sweden, Britain, Finland and some western U.S. states in the late 19th century. International organizations were formed to coordinate efforts, especially the International Council of Women and the International Woman Suffrage Alliance. In 1893, New Zealand became the first nation to extend the right to vote to all adult women. The women in South Australia achieved the same right in 1894 but became the first to obtain the right to stand (run) for Parliament. The first European country to introduce women's suffrage was the Grand Duchy of Finland.

In most Western nations, women's suffrage came at the end of World War I, with some important late adopters such as France in 1944 and Switzerland in 1971.

Women's suffrage has generally been recognized after political campaigns to obtain it were waged. In many countries it was granted before universal suffrage. Women's suffrage is explicitly stated as a right under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, adopted by the United Nations in 1979.

Guess the Protest

See if you can guess what the people in the pictures are protesting about. Answers in the comment box

Occupy Wall Street

Occupy Wall Street is the name given to a protest movement that began on September 17, 2011 located in New York City's Wall Street financial district.

The Canadian activist group Adbusters initiated the protest, which subsequently led to Occupy protests and movements around the world. The main issues are social and economic inequality, greed, corruption and the perceived undue influence of corporations on government, particularly from the financial services sector. The OWS slogan, We are the 99%, addresses the growing income inequality and wealth distribution in the U.S. between the wealthiest and the rest of the population. To achieve their goals, protesters act on consensus-based decisions made in general assemblies which emphasize direct action over petitioning authorities for redress.

After several unsuccessful attempts to re-occupy the original location, protesters turned their focus to occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, college and university campuses.

People Power

I'm sure many of you should recognise this Olympic protest in support of the Black Panther Movements. A crucial chapter of black history. The 1968 Olympics Black Power salute was a protest made by the African American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Olympic Games. As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. All three men, including Australian silver medalist Peter Norman, wore human rights badges on their jackets. The event was one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games. This Guesture was not a "Black Power" salute, but a "human rights salute".

Who Polices The Police?

Hey guys I thought I'd start off with something I am passionate about. Being a descendant of a black ethnic minority and a member of the urban youth culture I often find myself being subjugated by the police who often abuse their powers. I have faced these adversities throughout my life and I'm sure some of you may have too. No one deserves to be discriminated against no matter what colour, creed, shape or size they may be and this is something that the police often do. I'd like you to think about these question. How do you oppose or face someone in a position of power? Who does police the police? Check out this video and let me know what you think?
