Question 1 • CA-Ethnic Studies

Which tactic is the most helpful way for social movements to address oppression?

Answer
A
engaging in violent protests
B
upholding the norms of society
C
waiting for the government to change
D
participating in peaceful demonstrations

Explanation

Peaceful demonstrations let people publicly call attention to oppression, organize support, and press for change without using violence. Engaging in violent protests can harm people and weaken support for a movement, while simply upholding social norms or waiting for the government to act does not actively challenge oppression. The most helpful tactic is participating in peaceful demonstrations.
