Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sinead's non-violent group is concerned about the lack of public consultation and secrecy surrounding the FTAA trade talks. Therefore, they are most likely to engage in peaceful protests, such as organizing street theatre, music, and mass sit-ins at the FTAA talk site, to draw attention to their cause and demand transparency in the negotiations. Breaking windows at McDonald's outlets or kidnapping high-ranking diplomats are acts of violence and are not consistent with a non-violent approach to protesting. Meeting at Starbucks to write letters to government officials may be a peaceful tactic, but it is not as effective as direct action, such as protests, in raising awareness and demanding change.
