Thesis: Challenging society is always a risk, but not standing up for what you believe is arguably worse. Those that have the courage to stand up are often ridiculed and put down for their beliefs. To challenge society is considered an act of defiance to many, but it’s needed when things start to affect you and others negatively. This can be shown in articles like, “Montgomery Boycott,” “Veterans Day,” “3 dead, dozens injured, amid violent white nationalist rally,” and “Why Colin Kaepernick was right not to stand for the national anthem.”
