At the Intersection with Doug Newton
Stop Peaceful Protests from Becoming Tantrums
We live in times of mounting protests. Researchers point to a sharp increase worldwide since 2006. Do “disruptive protest tactics” work? Americans are blessed to live in a country that prizes and protects the freedom of speech and assembly. But too often protests share similarities with classic tantrums. Shouting. Screaming. Sitting down in the middle of everything. Do those behaviors accomplish anything that helps the protestors’ cause?
In this episode of “At the Intersection” Doug Newton reviews six ethical standards to observe as we exercise our rights or else our protests of all sorts become mere tantrums. No side of the various political and cultural divides is exempt. So it’s worth listening.
