As Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as cooperation with good” (Herbert, 2012). According to Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi, one should give priority to their principles over laws created by the majority. Laws are not made based on the best point of view; rather, they are created by the majority who simply have the most power. In today's society, workers in the fast food industry in the United States face low wages and inhumane working conditions. Resistance, nonviolence, and disobedience are justifiable as they attempt to create social change. Although there may be limits, civil disobedience offers these workers the means to resist power and confront their daily struggles. By participating in acts of civil disobedience, one deliberately refuses to respect the laws as a peaceful form of protest. The population opposes these laws because they believe that their fundamental human rights are being violated. Civil disobedience requires some form of moral and tactical work. Moral work requires making a distinction between what is considered just and unjust. This requires fully committing to one's ethics and beliefs and accepting the consequences that flow from them without objection. According to Gandhi's practice of "satyagraha", non-violence is essential: "violent non-cooperation only multiplies evil, and since evil can only be maintained through violence, the withdrawal of support for evil requires complete abstention from violence” (Eknath, 62). ). Civil disobedience addresses the idea of ​​social change without creating destruction or violating the rights of others. Tactical work plans to achieve a specific goal. Collectively refusing everything...... middle of paper ......d. The nonviolent approach to resisting power can last for years before change actually occurs. The first protests against the fast food industries began in 2012, and two years later, workers are still fighting to be heard. Civil disobedience provides fast food restaurant workers with the means to peacefully resist power and address the minimum wage struggle they face. Through tactical work, they can attempt to create social change for workers across the United States. As Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., and Mahatma Gandhi all once did, people should put their basic rights first and follow the rules of the majority second. Fast food workers are unable to live or support their families on the wages they currently earn. By resisting minimum wage laws, they can raise awareness and create a movement calling for change..
