While not reggae, the music held some rebellious undertones, and protested mistreatment on many levels. Spurred on by his desire to change the conditions of his people, along with his newfound faith in Rastafarian religions, Marley's musical path was set for a lifetime of protest art (White, 12)
This caused the rejuvenated Christian leaders to find means to curb the spread of belief in science; hence, fundamentalism. Secondly, the rise of liberalism from the increasing numbers of philosophers and baconianism largely supported the affinity between scientific assertions and cultural advancements (Marsden, 2006)
He denotes in his notes that the record they set for Christian social service in the era when social reform faced such overwhelming oppositions, was remarkable impressive. Marsden saw a decline in the social interests, in association with the shift among the conservatives from Calvinistic to Pietistic view of the politics role in society (Coreno, 2002)
Consequently, those who had a contrary opinion to the initial implementation of the Modern belief broke and formed the protestant church. As the name suggests, the movement was against several practices within the Modern Christian society practice; hence, the rise of the protestant fundamentalism (Jones, 2010)
This threatened the existence of faith and the basis of the founding of Christianity. This is the major reason for the rise of the protestant fundamentalism in the United States in the early twentieth century (McLaren, 2006)
The movement, after seizing from being a national movement, it continued in persistence within the many smaller denominations and Para-church organizations. By looking at the rise and consequent result of fundamentalism as from different angles: that of social trend, political occurrence, intellectual phenomenon and American experience: it demonstrates the persistent themes that ran through the process of the movement of protestant fundamentalism America (Woods, 2002)
The conservatives could easily agree regardless of their respective schematizations of the redemptive history and holiness. Therefore, this united opposition to the rise of modernism reached the multitudes in the form of multiple famous publications, the Fundamentals (1910-1915) (Babinski, 1995)
, rather than continuing to send it overseas to support corrupt and also underpaid populations whose upper classes also dominate their economies. (Bass) Though all their points are not unified, platformed and organized (Zubok) many people have taken notice of the fact that the protests seems to simply grow, even amidst the strife associated with the core protests in New York and DC, to date there are "Occupy" protests in nearly every major metropolitan area and several smaller communities
Bonilla notes that the occurrence of labor strikes in the region are actually quite common but this particular strike was different in that it took the form of a mass societal strike, not just one industry or one union but 48 organizations including those affecting government and other vital services: For a period of forty four days the entire society was paralyzed by a general strike: schools and universities were closed, all major commerce was suspended, banks shut down, government services were discontinued, restaurants were shuttered, hotel rooms emptied, public transportation came to a halt, barricades blocked major roadways, and petrol distribution was suspended throughout the entire island, forcing drivers to park their cars and become pedestrians for over a month and a half. (Bonilla 126) Though Bonilla stresses that the political climate of the island has changed the very idea of the fact that many people in society could effectively come together and shut down the entire island is likely the most empowering of all the messages of the protests
has not seen in many years. The political science of protest is one that demonstrates the allowance of change in democratic society and the allowance of revolution in undemocratic societies, protest can and is considered by most political scientists as form of political activism and to some even a form of necessary political participation in the same manner as voting, though not used or needed as often (Boyle & Schmierbach)
The protests have even spread to the suburbs, where the climate is said to be different and people are less likely to be damaging property or camping in public parks they are nonetheless taking part in the message that these protests are attempting to send, which really at its core is "something has to give." (Fagan A1) There is also a clear sense that these new protests are not isolated to a social/political movement in the U
("Occupy London…") Experts in political science, economics, sociology and other fields do not agree that the movement is either going to be effective for political or economic change or not, many individuals have urged those in high places as well as those not involved in the protests to take notice of the protesters messages and to allow a dialogue for change. (Bass) (McCloskey) To look now at the manner in which political change has been addressed as a reaction to mass protests one might look at any number of examples, not possibly at the Million Man March example where the most memorable part of its legacy was the controversy regarding the number of people present
Some examples of such protest include the civil rights protests of the 1950s, 60s and 70s or the anti-war protests of WWI, Vietnam and Iraq Wars. The tradition of mass street level protest is one that goes back in America to the late 19th century when the so called Coxey's army marched from Ohio to Washington DC to protest joblessness and demand that the government put them to work on public projects (O'Carroll)

¶ … Inc., a small business, protested a decision by the Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS), regarding issues requests for proposals (Gamboa, 2004)
Those three ways include filing a formal complaint with (1) the contracting agency, (2) the Government Accountability Office ("GAO"), or (3) the Court of Federal Claims. Of these three, the most effective method of filing a complaint would be with the GAO (Daniels, n
Not all persons can protest or dispute a government decision regarding a contract. The disputer or protester must be a primary stakeholder in the organization or interest group filing the complaint, and must also reveal that there would have been a clear potential to win the bid ("Your Right to Protest and Dispute a Government Decision Regarding a Contract," 2012)
Eva Bellin, a professor at City University of New York, said, "Conventional wisdom in the field suggests that some consensus about national identity, that is, some degree of social solidarity, is necessary to prevent the inherently conflictual nature of the democratic process from tearing a country apart." (Bellin 598) Iraq is not fully capable of establishing a democratic government and society without a long chaotic transition
S., the war that has killed up to 100,000 Iraqi civilians was not the right answer (Buckley 55)
Besides the death of 100,000 Iraqi civilians, the number of severely wounded people and the remaining families, relatives, and friends of the dead and wounded is well over a million. (Hil 63)
