ARE ACTIVISTS WHO INCONVENIENCE THE GENERAL PUBLIC JUSTIFIED?

Should we consider it justifiable or not? Since we know this is not just a fight for one but a fight for all, as we individually and collectively try to improve the lives of everyone in our society. So it is pertinent we weigh our options before drawing a conclusion.

Now the inconveniences occasioned is one that leaves a lasting damage, to put it much better it is more like a porous cancer injury which has mated hardship on the same masses, then I will say it's not justifiable but if the fight causes no harm to anyone but rather mitigate hardship then we can think of justifying the said action.
So, it is very vital to consider the impact of our actions when fighting for justice and we should also remember that the reason for this is to bring about social change. This should be the goal/ aim when activist rise to protest and speak up on behalf of the society.

This is a society where you and I started off from, dwell, coexist and we all want it better than met it, and this often involves instances where we go against the laid down rules and regulations, because injustice is spoted as the bad egg that spoil the numerous good, which we cannot be condole, it surly does not make us a better society so we cause a little bit of disruption to call the attention of the leaders in question or people in authority to see to our views and reason with us, there is no way this can be done without inconviencing someone. So, that is why it is to a certain degree justifiable if it does not cause harm to anyone, emphasis on that, because the reason for the social change is to this end;
That everyone might live comfortably, so when the fight for social change becomes harmful then it won't be justifiable because the same set of people the activist are fighting for are the ones getting hurt at the long run, in the process so we don't call that progress it is simply adding fule to the looming fire around us.

I see no need for involving in a protest that destroy the lives, reputation and personality of the same people you want to protect, this does not help because the message will not be passed across successfully and it's the citizen that suffers it most, while the people we want to see and hear our message will not even get affected. It is really uncalled for when a suppose peaceful protest becomes a riot, imagine how the citizen will feel and what they will suffer eventually.

It is very important to check the costs and benefits of our actions before venturing out, with this we can know if the way we want to handle it is effective or the actions we want to carry out will help and meet the aims of our actions.
