Resisting isn't an easy thing because by resisting you are looked at as the enemy by the government. The necessary qualities that are needed to really resist a government that the swing kids had and did were like believing other then what you are told to believe. What the kids in Germany were told and brainwashed to believe in did not effect many kids like shown in the film. Some ways you could tell the kids were resisting were like they listened to swing music even though they knew it was illegal. They even went to secret swing clubs to dance and rebel in there own way. The German kids in the film had many quality's that let them resist the government. Because even after the boys and the girls were caught rebelling they were sent to camps and would still sing the illegal swing songs and listen to the illegal swing music as well.

Many people feared Hitler in the 1930s. The people did not like what Hitler was doing, but they did not want to go against what he said because they feared what he would do to them or what would be done to them if they went against what Hitler said. The swing kids were a group of people that loved to listen to Jazz and swing music. The music originated from the U.S and then spread to Germany.  The kids would meet at clubs in Germany and dance to swing music. The Nazis were very against it and if they found out that they were dancing then the Nazis would invade the clubs and beat them up and force them to get out. Some people were able to escape, but some were not luckey enough to. The people that were caught were often sent to camps to work. The camps were not in very good condition, most of the people died because of the terrible conditions. The swing kids still did what they loved and were very brave to go against what Hitler said.

Many people were fearful when Hitler took over in the 1930s. They did not like what Hitler stood for but they did not want to rebel against him because of the fear of what would be done to them. One group of people rebelled against the Germans and did not care about the consequences. The answer was swing dancing. Swing dancing was a new type of jazz music and it originated in America so it had obviously been banned from Germany. Swing kids would meet in clubs in Germany and dance to swing. This was a very dangerous situation because if the Nazis found out they would raid the cafe and beat up everyone in it. People would be lucky if they escaped because if they did not then they would be sent to a work camp. In the work camps the conditions were normal and most of them died as a result of the horrific conditions.The swing boys were very brave for what they did. Nobody else would stand up to Hitler so they did. These courageous young people took it upon themselves to rebel against  Hitler because they knew what they were doing was right.

# data[].attributes.body
Not many people dared to resist or fight against the Nazis during this time for they knew what kind of punishments they'd face. The swing kids knew just that and did not care because of their passion for the music and hatred for the Nazis. Swing was a type of jazz dance and music that originated in the US and spread to Germany around 1935. Hitler did not like the idea of this new fad spreading so he made the music illegal in Nazi Germany. That did not stop the swing boys. People found secret ways to have their swing records and organized events were everyone that loved swing would go and sing and dance to it all night. As mentioned earlier, following the swing lifestyle was a huge risk. Many people caught doing these things were beaten and brought to concentration camps for two to three years where they worked and were treated horribly. For the younger swing followers they were brought to detention camps. The HJ were the people that the swing kids had to look out for. Resisting the Nazis was a hard thing to do and took passion and bravery to go against the strict norm. In the movie Swing Kids, the character Thomas who was a all about the swing lifestyle, had to join the HJ and this completely changed him and turned him against his friends and swing community. He was overtaken by the Nazi way and struggled to continue to resist the laws and power the Nazis had. As shown, being a swing kids took bravery, passion and the hunger for freedom.

It took a lot to be a successful resistance leader against the Nazi regime, but it took even more to be a Swing kid. In 1935-1936 the swing kids were truly formed. In order to be a true swing kid it took a different mentality that many kids did not have. It took the will to ignore the law, be your own person aside from the Nazis, be cool and laid back without letting the lifestyle be fazed by the Nazi life. Along with the type of person it took, you also had to be willing to go to a "camp" if caught. Swing dancing was very illegal at the time and many people would be arrested for swing dancing and/or listening to swing music. By saying that the swing kids had to be willing to go to a camp meant that they had to be willing to give up their whole life at any moment in order to live the swing life. Another thing that i learned from the film is that you cannot run a successful swing club when you have "impostors". In my mind i see Thomas as a sort of impostor towards the swing clubs. He went from being a swing kid to being a true HJ. In my opinion i believe that he gave up the sport of the club, therefore giving up many dancers to the police. In order to be a true Swing kid it takes a special mentality that not many people have. It takes the will to resist the Nazis and life a semi free lifestyle.

Many felt that the Nazi government was unjustly punishing citizens for doing nothing wrong. In order to resist a government many qualities and characteristics are required. First, you must have something you really do not like that the government is doing. As well as a strong feeling that you can help fix this issue. In order to be effective, you have to  have enough support to force the government to fix this problem. Also you need to be willing to be punished for your resistance, so strong feelings are required. Finally, you have to get something other than people to support your cause such as music.

# data[].attributes.body
Resisting against something as huge as a government is not an easy thing to do, but happens often. It starts with the people seeing something happening within their country and/or government, and not agreeing with it. As you know, Nazi Germany was a fascist government. the movie Swing Kids shows resistance and life in Nazi Germany.  the qualities one must have in order to resist a government are most of the same qualities that Thomas, Peter, And arvid had. Arvid was intelligent and could easily tell what was corrupt within the government. Thomas had courage, and was not afraid. Peter had motivation, and knew he had to find a way to resist towards the Nazi Government.

Resisting a government isn't so easy to do. The qualities someone must have to resist a government are really high. Such as having confidence in your opinions, acceptance to the consequences that may be given, and to be devoted to staying strong for what your going for. In the movie, there were a whole bunch of examples. Such as the kids who had private swing parties and the changed cover albums.

When a government is too powerful or too offensive, some people feel the need to resist. Some qualities one might need to successfully resist the government are independence, strength, and passionate. People must know what is going on in the world, and know who they are talking about. You can't resist government directly, but you can do it in secret ways like going to Swing clubs. Many people resist the government by not listening to authority or showing disrespect to nationalism. If people care enough about what they are resisting, they will know how to resist. If you are too aggressive about the resistance, you can get in trouble with the government.

Resisting a government is not something everyone can do. A person needs to be cunning, sneaky, and strong willed to resist a dictator, or any form of government. A rebel should be fearless, if you are afraid of death or being caught, you will not resist. Being scared of death or capture inhibits your abilities to resist the control of others. A rebel should be creative and resourceful, in order to find ways around rules and laws. For example, a man in the article told his story of having his records sent to him in the work camp, but he did not get in trouble because of his high position in the prisoner government system. Young girls sang swing songs for their fellow prisoners and swing boys in the mines used equipment as instruments in their spare time when they were not being watched or monitored.

Resisting a government is a hard thing to do and in order for someone to do it they must posses certain traits.  Such as be strong willed, having motivation, and having a passion for what you do. Next, if you are going to resist a government you can be scared of getting caught for what you do.  And you cant be scared of receiving the consequences for what you have done. Also if you are going to go against the law you need to be smart and know what to do encase you do get caught.

To resist a government is no easy task.  He needs to be brave and be willing to accept any consequence that is brought to him. For example people would host private swing parties or would change the cover of records just to sell a certain artist.  Another example is that people would make fake birth certificates for people to act like jews.

Resisting a government is not an easy thing to do, but it can happen quite often.

Qualities one posses would be creativity, power, dedication,  and passion. These people ahve to be willing to stand up for what they believe in even if there are consequences. Being a Swing Kid in the movie was a prime example of a resistance to ones government. The men were proud of who they were and they were standing up for what they believe in. There was resistance shown all over in the film like long hair, recordeds covered, and swing clubs. Many cases people did not like the way they were living or who was controlling it but vew stood out to make a change. The risk of this rebellion lead to concentration camps. They have to be very brave and outgoing.  They were determined to resist thegovernement.

# data[].attributes.body
In the film many swing kids would not only go to clubs at night but would listen to swing in their homes. They would buy illegal swing records in music stores, records that had been put in covers with different names, disguised as German music. Swing kids persevered and continued to go to clubs knowing if they were caught there would be dire consequences. There was resistance in many forms all throughout Nazi Germany, but the swing kids were one of the most brave based on their age and perseverance.

# data[].attributes.body
Swing kids did not like what they saw when they looked at their country or their leader. In a form of defection, they would dance, sing, and listen to swing. If they acted out in public they would be punished by the HJ or block commanders; Swing and Jazz was a certain form of escape for them. The swing kids of Germany showed all the qualities they needed to resist the government, even if it did not show it on the surface. Most of men and women who rebelled got caught in the act and were sent away to camps, war, or prisons. They were willing to risk their lives to try and raise the awareness that what Hitler was doing was not right for their country.

During the Third Reich swing kids refused to join Hitler Youth groups, and the military. They joined swing clubs and would dance to music that was forbidden in Germany, even though they knew if they got caught the consequences that would come they were still so passionate about their music they did not care and would still go to the clubs and dance.  The had such a strong belief in what they stood for that they would never back down. Thomas, Peter, and Arvid all had a great passion for dancing, this would help them keep their resistance against the Nazi society.  The swing kids felt as if they could express the way they felt about the Nazis through dance.  Determination in people would set them apart from people joining the HJ when they were threatened and they people would keep doing what they loved.  You can not be successful in resistance if you can't always stand for what you believe in.  In the movie, Peter was determined to stay a swing kid even after he was forced to join the HJ.  Other people could not keep the determination and started to sway away from what they believed in like Thomas.  When people get busted in swing clubs sometimes they just let them take them away, instead of fighting it because you can keep running but it will always find you.  This doesn't mean that you have given up resistance they just take it with them to try to make the others around them stand up to it.

In order to successfully resist a government or regime someone must possess many vital qualities. One group that successfully resisted a regime was the Swingjugend or Swing Youth as named by the Nazis. As depicted in the movie Swing Kids and in the article Swing Kids Behind Barbed Wire; these youth possessed determination to continue what they did, dissatisfaction with their changing society, and a rebellious nature towards Nazi conformity. They showed determination by continuing swing in the camps they went to using opportunities they found for themselves. The article quotes Günter Discher who tells of their experience in camp

,"The salt mine where we worked had really nice acoustics.  One of us played on the cartridges – these were like wooden boxes, and he would play drums with some sticks.  We improvised all sorts of things.  Sometimes it sounded horrible.  Either way, we had successfully gotten through our so-called breakfast break.  It was a survival strategy."

To continue, the dissatisfaction the youth possessed was shown in their choice to have a "Anglo-American clothing and lifestyle" as well as listening to " 'enemy radio stations'". Most importantly, their rebellious nature carried on in their choice to resist "compulsory membership of the Hitlerjugend " along with the Bund Deutscher Mädel  for girls. This is what allows resistance to begin, thrive, and continue.

To resist a government, one must have a strong will and determination. Resistance to a government is a very serious thing, and so if you are going to do it, you have to go all in. You also must have a substantial amount of courage, because resistance is not an easy thing to do and it can often lead to consequences which are hard to handle. There is a lot of risk involved and someone who wants to resist has to be aware for that. For example, many of the swing kids were sent to Nazi camps for resisting. These could not have been easy places to live, and a lot of fear and hardship was involved. These are just a few of the characteristics needed to resist ones government.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many qualities and characteristics that one must possess in order to resist one's own government. The first being having great confidence in the opinions and the ideals that you believe are true. The Swing Kids had recognized what Hitler was doing was cruel and inhuman, and refused to succumb to it's hatred. They had to have the quality of caution. Leaving in and resisting Nazi Germany was a dangerous thing. If the swing youth truly wished to continue getting freedom through Jazz they had to be more secretive to not get caught. Overall, one must not be afraid to stand up for what they truly believe in and for what they think is right. There were many people in Nazi Germany that hated Hitler behind closed doors, but did nothing and seemed loyal on the outside. This was one thing that allowed Hitler to become so powerful.

To resist one's government you've got to have motivation, be strong-minded, and hopeful that you will succeed in a rebellion.  You have to be brave because the government is very powerful and you can get in a lot of trouble for a rebellion.  The Swing Kids are an example of a rebellion but it was an outright public display of defiance, it was kind of secret.  The Swing Kids were young, and they wanted to stand up for all that they believe in.  Many got caught and many were led to commit suicide because it was just too much for them.  Those who got caught suffered interrogation and torture at camps.

# data[].attributes.body
To defy a government one must have a strong will and not fear the consequence they face. some of the swing kids didn't and ended up committing suicide. others knew and took the punishment. in the camps the youth were sent too they used music as a way to keep pushing through the hardships they were going through.  They used the music to show that imprisoning them would not stop them from what they believe. the youth also help inspire the other prisoner's that had no prior knowledge to the swing movement.

Someone who is resisting something must be devoted, be dauntless, and be willing to do whatever it takes to stand for what they believe in. A person must be willing to accept the consequences of resisting  no matter what the cost. A person must also be willing to stand for what they believe, even if other people tell you it is wrong. In the movie, Peter and his friends were willing to dance not only because they loved it but because they felt they were inspiring others to defy the Nazis.  A resistor must also be quick on their feet, at any moment a situation could change and a resistor needs to be prepared to continue fighting for what they believe in.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a very complicated thing, to resist a government. To resist is to not believe in how things are governed or if one does not believe what is required. In the form of the swing kids, all they wanted was to be able to freely listen to what eve music they desired. Since they were not privileged that right they began to fight back. They had illegal clubs, music stores had illegal music and so on. The people think it is important to have freedom and when the Nazis' take that away it creates a desire to fight for what they believe.  The people that fought back had to have courage.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Swing Kids resistance came naturally, it was what they believed in that was considered the rebellion and they could not change what they believed in: jazz music, swing dancing, freedom to enjoy their youth. To resist one's government you must have a strong mind that can not be altered by a society that disagrees with your morals and beliefs. The Swing Kids refused to join the Hitler Youth programs because it went against what they stood for and they would not let themselves be conformed by authority. Ultimately the Swing Kids knew they were acting out in rebellion and would be punished or ostracized for their lifestyle choice but it was important to them to uphold who they were no matter the consequences or contrast in popular opinion at the time.

To be capable of resisting once government they must first and most importantly have something strong they believe in. This is the devotion to the cause and is very important. Second that would be necessary would be courage. Standing up to your government is a big task and most likely the government would have ways of handling resistance. You would have to have courage to overcome your the rear of what may ever happen to you or your family. The third attribute would be perseverance. At times it is going to be a lot easier to give up rather than to keep going. However, if you believe in what you are doing enough you wont lose sight of what is really important and why you were in opposition to begin with.

A necessary quality to rebel against a government is to be able to persevere with goals even if things are going wrong. The swing kids would go to clubs constantly until they were caught and sent to camps for resisting the government, just to be able to have fun. They would listen to illegal music because it was something they loved and they would never stop until they were taken away.  Another quality is intelligence they kids had to think of clever ways to hide their secret night lives and to obtain this illegal music. There will be a part two...

The necessary qualities one must possess to resist one's government are determination, loyalty, and a strong belief in what you are resisting for. Many Swing Kids showed passion for swing and they were determined to continue their traditions of swing no matter the costs and possible punishments for swing.

I think in order to defy ones government you must posses a general sense of courage. You must be strong enough to stand up for what you believe in and take life threatening risks. The swing kids held parties and and dances while listening to the quote enemy radio which was clearly and highly illegal. Sticking to ones guns is also a valuable trait needed to resist government oppression  whether it be sticking to what you believe in or sticking with friends and family when the going gets rough. There is a lot of traits and characteristics needed to successfully resist a government but by keeping your morals straight and true to your heart all of the rest should come easy.

It took a lot to rebel against the government in this point in time. The people who did were most young people that had nothing to lose. They would take opportunities to get back at the government when most others just disregarded these opportunities. These young people did not want to let the government control their lives. It would take someone who is willing to face the consequences of being caught and put into the HJ to rebel. These young people would swing dance in clubs at the end of the day.

The main necessary qualities needed to resist one's government is passion, commitment, and a strong belief in the cause. The Swing Kids had a huge passion for what they did. The viewed it as a way of life. Swing and the resistance were a way to stand up to the authorities without taking up arms or turning to violence. They were also committed. Should they be found out, many stuck with their friends and braved the prison camps or torture. They had a strong belief in their cause as well. The Swing movement was something that everybody could get behind. It symbolized freedom and excitement, and embodied everything that kids all over the world strived for. They could believe in the cause because it was something so real and prevalent, unlike the mythical benefits the Nazis or other Facist rulers idolized. The Swing kids possessed everything needed to stand up to the government. Swing Heil!

It takes many different things to rebel against the government. The people who are more likely to rebel are the younger people. They dont have anything to lose. At this age they're trying to find themselves, they arent letting the government decide who they are. They dont have a family, all they have is themselves. To resist the government they have to know the consequences, yet they dont care. What they care about is what theyre going to be living in and thats not what they want to be living in. Some people who rebel are very vocal about how much they hate the government, but the swing kids had a whole other world they were living. The world of swing. They didnt broadcast it, they didnt say how much they hated Germany. Their dancing was rebelling enough. Though its hard to rebel due to the police force, people just didnt care. They wanted to make a change

Resistance to a regime can be dangerous. In order to rebel against a government one must obtain a strong belief in their cause. A strong personality and being persistent is the key to having success. The swing kids are able to resist the government in an odd fashion. They do not do anything to resist out in the open but rather at night, dancing, having fun and living their lives. They do this in order to prove that the government has no power over what they are doing and the activities that they enjoy in life. To go against a government one must be against most or all aspects in which that government encourages and represents. Many of the swing kids were strong and brave especially when it came to holding out when they were put in camps and forced to work. Their love for the music and their cause never died.

In order to resist your government you must stand strong in what you believe and not be easily swayed by propaganda. You must be able to give up the things that you love in order to show how strong your belief is when you are put to the test. Even when the odds aren't in your favor you must look death in the eye and remain firm in what you believe. You will be put through many tests and trials and you musn't back out. You must believe in yourself and your individualism and not conform to what the government forces you to be.

The necessary qualities to rebel against your government are determination and commitment. Determination is very important because you need to have the drive to fight for what you believe in.  Giving up would mean that the Nazis won. Commitment is committing to the cause. You have to give the rebellion all you've got. Commit to it and never give up on your beliefs. It takes the right group of people to have a successful rebellion, but commitment and determination are two of the most important qualities. The swing kids never let the fear of punishment get in the way of their determination. They kept rebelling no matter what happened.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to successfully rebel against your government, you must have a probable cause that you feel incredibly strongly about. It is highly unlikely that any government official would consider a quiet, polite request for a change. A strong, prominent demand will not only spread the word about your desires for change, but let leaders know that you are serious about your cause and why it is so necessary.  Also, you must have sturdy fellow rebellions at your side, ready for whatever consequences may come. An entire government system is more likely to fear a cause with numbers. Though there might be danger involved, your followers/companions must be willing to take the risk in order to obtain reward. Lastly, you must have a leader, if it is not yourself, that is willing to take charge and take the most responsibility for whatever punishments may be enforced.

reistance can be a very messy and violent event. Many people are effected and altered. To truly resist something a person most have a undying passion and devotion for what they believe in.

To resist a government you have to be brave and courageous. You have to also be motivated and be passionate about what you believe in. When people rebel they generally have a purpose; something to fight for. The Swing Kids knew that their would be consequences but that didn't stop them. They fought for what they believed in because they were passionate about the dance and music styles. Some of the Swing Kids were sent to concentration camps if they got caught. They were not afraid and wouldn't take no for an answer.

In order to successfully resist the government, you must be passionate about what they are resisting, and commitment to the resistance. You have to fully believe in what you are doing and not back down or get intimidated by the oppressors. The Swing Kids knew what they were getting into and put their whole heart into it. They never thought twice about what they were doing and never faltered in having hope. Swing Kids had the strength to carry through with their rebellions because they loved the dance and music. Because of their passion and commitment, the Swing Kids saw through to the end of the Nazi rule.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to truly resist the government you need to have the passion and the knowledge to do it. As the swing kids did you need to have so much passion for what you are resisting for and take the time to do it. The swing kids would go out almost every night just to dance. As the article stated, ¨swing music and dancing represented more than a passing fad¨. The rebellious teenagers devoted their passion into swing dancing which led to successful rebellion. You also need to have the knowledge to do so as well. The swing dancers knew why they were rebelling and knew they had a good reason to. Through their passion and knowledge the swing dancers were able to shine over the government.

In order to resist a government, you must have a undying passion for the cause you are rebelling against, you most keep your devotion no matter what the consequences may be and always stand up for what you want, you need to seem in power and do not give in to what you do not want to do.

Trying to resist a government is very hard and complex thing to accomplish but in order to do so one must be able to have a reason and a powerful plan for resisting, be passionate about your reason, and be devoted and motivated for the resist. You must be willing to stand up for what you think is right no matter how much others try to put you down. If you have enough passion to carry out your plan, then you will not care what others think about you. You must have enough plans and ideas to make your plan go a long way or to even persuade others to help you in your rebellion.  This will help to make it stronger. Like how Arvid was rebellion against the Nazi Generals at a music concert and he would not let them play with him like a puppet into what ever they wanted. Arvid was passionate about the music of jazz and he convinced others to join in with him and fight for what he/they loved. He kept the legend of the swing dancers alive without him the youth would be brainwashing into a Nazi for life.

Resistance is a complex thing...it's difficult to carry out in a successful way. The participants of such a movement must have a particular fire for what they are rebelling for, their devotion to their cause must be absolute no matter what consequences are threatened. The best resistances have something to motivate them--something powerful to stand behind (that may or may not be legal), that gives them an intense amount of strength and a certain binding to their cause. Anything can become the face of a rebellion if enough people stand behind it and use such a thing to break away from the "norm" of society. In Nazi Germany, the Swing Kids used jazz music as the face of their rebellion. They frequented their jazz clubs nightly, showing their devotion to their cause, but it wasn't just devotion that motivated them. Many genuinely enjoyed taking part in swing parties, since it allowed them an outlet for self-expression which was completely unallowed in Nazi Germany for the most part. A rebellion also must not die even when it is threatened. When the Swing Kids were taken to labor camps, they still played their music using whatever they could find. Their will was unbreakable, and for that reason, they did essentially succeed in at least hampering the Nazi control over German youth.

In order to resist ones government you have to be able to do whatever it takes to be successful. You have to be passionate toward your beliefs and you must have the strength to carry out rebellions. You have to be determined to reach your goal no matter what the obstacles might be. Swing kids and revolting kids would be forced to join the HJ or go to jail.  Swing for most people was not just a dance but it was a way to feel free, to rebel, and show that they are not afraid to break the rules. Swing clubs where shut down by Nazis. Even though they were shut down, the swing kids would still go dance and listen to jazz music. The kids were full of passion determination and strength. To be successful in resisting government you have to never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. You can never hide or run away. You must accept the punishments and obstacles.

In order to completely resist a government, it is necessary for you to have courage, passion, and determination. Even when you know the consequences of your actions you must be brave enough to never back down. You have to look the powerful authorities in their faces and outright tell them that you will not do what they want you to do. During the Third Reich, the Swing Kids refused to join Hitler Youth Groups and the military. The clubs kept playing Swing music and holding dances even when the people attending knew that if they were caught they would be sent to Concentration Camps. They kept strong to their rebellious beliefs because they firmly believed in the cause that they stood for. That is where the passion comes in. Thomas, Peter, and Arvid all had a huge passion for dancing and music in the beginning of the film. Passion is what made people see through with their resistance and stick to their beliefs that the Nazi's ideas were not right. People in the Swing Movement loved dance and were able to express this through their resistance. Determination is what separated the people who joined the HJ when threatened, and the people who kept doing what they loved. You cannot have a successful resistance if you are not able to stick to what you stand for. Peter was determined to stay a Swing Kid even after being forced to join the HJ. On the other hand, Thomas was not able to keep his passion and slowly began to drift away and became someone who went against the resistance. Peter let the Nazis take him away when they busted the Swing club because he was tired of running and was determined to stick with the resistance. Unfortunately, not everyone could be like Peter and that is why situations like Thomas happened. The necessary qualities: passion, courage, and determination are what made up the best resistors in the Swing Movement.

There are many necessary qualities to carry out such a difficult task as resisting your government. You must be brave and willing to stand up for what you believe in and you can not back out of it. You have to speak your mind, and say what you believe is true and what you think will change the view of others. They also have to be passionate about what they are standing up for and revolting against, because they have to be able to change the mind of others. You also have to be committed to what you are standing up for and be able to put up with other people bringing and putting your ideas down. You also need to have courage, to stand up against the others who do not believe the same things as you. Most importantly, you have to believe in yourself because if you don't, how are others supposed to believe in you and the things you stand up for.

In order to resist one's government you must be willing to do anything for your cause. No matter what pain or sorrow you must endure you can never become a coward and back out. The "Swing Kids" kept going to the illegal clubs and doing their job to be insurgent. They did not stop when they learned they could be taken by the HJ and put in labor camps. They stayed strong and made sure their cause mattered. You have to be able to speak your mind, in other words you must have no filter. You must also have a passion for your work, you musty have a reason to defy your government. This reason must be extremely important to you and will power you through the most terrible sorrows and problems.

To resist the strict rules of a government you must have the wit, will, and strength to know how to pick and choose your battles. Not every single disagreement is worth fighting and in order for you resistance to last long you have to be able to know the time and place to make you move. Like the actual "swing kids" did, regardless of the fact that that isn't the historically correct name for them, they too were well aware of their surroundings.

They must be very devout to their cause and be able to support it through any means. You need to speak your cause and try to spread it all  throughout. you need to be strong and able to take anything that comes your way for going against what is ¨good¨ Also you need to be secretive. If you are not secretive, the government will come and shut you down and possibly hurt you and whoever you are with. Also this is important because this will cause your comrades to get in trouble as well as you. As in the swing kids, they were very openly against the Nazis and they would go against anything that was done Nazi. Also they would carry it on throughout their lives even if they got in trouble for it and went to work camps.

First of all, one must be enthusiastic about their cause to be a true rebel. They must be willing to make their rebellion almost an obsession, spending a large amount of their time on this. For example, swing kids attended swing clubs almost every night. Rebels must also, according to the article, have ideas of "love of life, self-determination, non-conformism, freedom, independence, liberalism, and internationalism." This is true, for nothing short of non-conformism and independence could compel a person to resist in such a dangerous situation. Nothing short of self-determination and a great deal of courage could make a person stand up to the Nazis. At their core, independence and courage was the entirety of the motivation of the Swingjugend. These were important attributes for them and for every other rebellion in human history, and they will continue to be important for every rebellion in the future.

I n order to truly resist one's government you have to have courage, passion, and commitment. Anybody can talk about resistance but only through action can real changes be made. That's why you must be willing to put all your energy into resisting, you must devote as much time to it as you possibly can. In a fascist regime, you know that resistance will be met with sever punishment and that is why it takes courage. You know that resisting can cost you your life, but you still do it anyways because you know it is the right thing to do. The Swing Kids showed this bravery when they chose to resists the Third Reich. They would have clubs hold Swing dances where they could dance and listen to jazz. They knew that if they were caught they would be sent away to concentration camps and possibly never return, yet they still resisted. You can't successfully create a resistance movement, unless you have a strong group of brave individuals. Individuals who are passionate about resisting and will do everything in their power to rebel until they see the changes they want. These are the qualities needed in order to resist a government and the Swing Kids, among others, truly did show these qualities.

When resisting the government, one must have a cause and a means to do so, you must be determined, fearless, and have a passion and love for freedom. Like the swing kids, they had a passion for swing jazz music and continued to listen and dance to it even when it was discriminated and banned in the 1930´s. When sent to work camps they still would sing and dance when they could because they had a passion for what they did. In the late 1940´s, Packages could be sent to the prisoners in work camps due to the high intensity labor that they had been put through, one man even had at least 100 records sent to the camp, this shows determination and a love and passion for what he believed in. the swing youth were a rebellious sort, and even if they only rebelled by singing and dancing, they were still rebels because they had a cause and a deep love for the things that they did.

When resisting a high power such as the government, it is important that the group contains confidence, passion, and determination. Confidence is what helps your group stay strong during the uphill battle. The Swing Kids in Nazi Germany showed that trait when they resisted the Nazi's and their group became stronger due to how popular it was for the youth. They also showed passion in that group which is important. In the 1930's, Swing Dancing was prohibited under any circumstances when Hitler was in power and anyone caught doing so were sent away to camps with the women housed differently then the men. However, even with all of this afflicted upon them with hard labor and long hours, they all still had a fiery passion for singing and dancing whenever they weren't noticed. The last thing you would need to be a strong rebellion group, would be to have determination. With every inch of swing gone in the camps, every individual still had hope for swing to not die out. Everyone had a strong record on file for what was caused and one man in particular had 100 records on file. Showing this, he still believed in what he did and his love and determination for swing to not die out proved how great of a impact it was for fellow followers. The Swing Kids were a strong group of young men and women who's passion, determination, and confidence in this group never made them loose hope in their organization. Even with all the hard ships of labor and suffering, they still went in with strong willed hearts on what they believed in.

A few necessary qualities one needs to resits the government are to be brave, smart, and consistent. Bravery is a key factor in opposing one's government because if you don't have guts, you can't do much in the way of changing anything in you're society. In the movie 'Swing Kids', main character Peter demonstrates many acts of bravery, such as stealing a radio from a shop, and even letting himself be carted away to a concentration camp because he knew it was for a greater cause. Next is intelligence, no matter how much brute strength or influence you have, you're doomed if you don't know how to use it. Learning about you're enemy (the government, in this case) and their weaknesses, and also choosing you're battles. You need to learn to be smart about the choices you make, or you and others could end up in a lot more trouble than is necessary. For example, swing girls in camps would pin sheets against their windows and only then, sing jazz songs secretly after lights out. Last is consistency, keeping at what you set out to do is undoubtedly the most important thing you can do. If you give up halfway, then you will change nothing in your society, and the government will have won. In 'Swing Kids', Peter never gives up on fighting Hitler and what he stands for, even when he was forced to join the HJ himself.

As a citizen to society, one person alone has all the capabilities to start a revolution. It just depends on how far they are willing to go to achieve their goals. Be passionate for what you stand by! Many knew the consequences one would have if caught rebelling against the Nazi ways, but to be able to enjoy the sweet melodies of life was most definitely worth it! Those swing kids never let any restrictions or rules get in their way of music and attire, and those who did almost always had a way to sneak past it. Dedication and courage will always shine through! Swing heil!!
