Do protests work? My opinion!

Do you know what a protest is? A protest is a group of people that fight towards or against things they feel need to change in society. These protests can be held by meeting, marching or hikoi. NZ have been protesting for hundreds of years about issues from Pakeha taking Maori land and building houses, to the latest BLACK LIVES MATTER.

A protest is when a group of people meet up to fight for a cause. A protest can be held in many ways; meetings, marches or hikois. People march or hikoi about things that need to be done or to fight to get justice. there are many things people protest about is things that need to change in society or need to change in the word. Also a protest can be held by getting out in the world: driving in cars using a megaphone or even by staying home and putting up big sign outside your house.

A protest can be caused by things that a community doesn’t agree with. When a community needs something or they could be protesting for justice like BLACK LIVES MATTER, When someone gets hurt by a police officer or a high ranked person then that can infuriate people and that can cause a protest. It usually occurs after an event or change.

Protests really work! Protests work when you are calm and don’t disrespect police, even though a police officer has done something bad. When protesting you calmly chant something but lately BLACK LIVES MATTER in my opinion has gotten out of hand because it went from being calm to booting and looting each other. The reason why I think this is because they're using a Past person as an excuse to burn, steal, fight and injure people. That's not going to work but calmly chanting and marching will.

Example:Maori were living there life until Pakeha came and started marking out where they wanted to build houses, but when maori saw fences up on their land they protested about Pakeha taking their land and took all of it down. When pakeha saw this they called in soldiers to rip the village apart, Being maori they gave fresh bread to the soldiers and continued to be nice.

In conclusion, protests have been here for hundreds of years and there here to stay but that doesn't mean they do them the wrong way.
