Peaceful Protest
In my opinion, an effective protest is one that is fighting for a meaningful cause that demands a change. However, what sets apart a protest that will or will not be taken seriously is whether or not it is peaceful and unified. Once violence is involved, protests can lose respect and consideration for a change. As seen with Martin Luther King's protests many years ago, his protests were so effective because they involved no violence and a lot of patience, and the effectiveness is seen in the change that were gradually made.
People choose to protest because a large group of people fighting for a change will catch the attention of a large audience and demand acknowledgement. In How to Survive a Plague, they AIDS activists where effective at first when they all joined together with a common interest. They educated themselves and participated in nonviolent protests. However, as years passed they started to split apart and have different goals. If they group had remained unified, they may have achieved success ore efficiently.
