History of I’m Not Going To Take It Anymore Day

Revolution, when viewed through the lens of political science and history, is a radical change to an accepted order. This usually refers to the established government or social institutions. It can be sudden, sometimes even violent. Change in the form of political, economic, social, or technological can be brought about by organized movements. Those who begin revolutions have concluded that the current institutions in that particular society either no longer serve their purpose or have failed it entirely. The established political order is challenged and the eventual replacement is typically vastly different from it.

From ancient Greece to the European Middle Ages, a revolution was regarded as a destructive force. Only after a breakdown in the fundamental moral and religious beliefs was it ever seen as a possibility. When people become disheartened by the existing situation, it affects the way they think and feel. Philosophers throughout history had different views on revolution. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher viewed it as a desire for honor and equality. Plato believed that a firmly upheld system of beliefs could prevent it and that a society that was in social decay was prone to it.

In Europe, through the Middle Ages, the church maintained its authority. Later on during the Renaissance period, the idea of revolution started to change. It was seen as necessary for progress. From 1450 to 1750, many political and philosophical concepts were changing around the world. People acquired more knowledge and accepted new ideas. Most countries in Europe were ruled by absolute monarchies and people started to question this absolute rule, with growing discontent. The Age of Enlightenment in the 1700s ushered in revolutions all over the world. These didn’t just change the country’s political system. It brought about changes in society as well.
