Precis

 Thesis -Occupy is a form of civil disobedience, 
 reasons -it's overall goal is the same as that of other groups that practice recognized forms of civil disobedience, 
objection-some groups within Occupy accept violent methods for achieving social change, 
Response to objection-the core concept of civil disobedience allows for violence when there is no other way of achieving one's aims. 
Premises
1. The overall concept in occupy is to promote change without violenc
2. Occupy is an open organization and allows everyone to join 
3. Occupy is for the betterment of the majority not the 'minority'

Occupy should be considered a form of civil disobedience because its over all goal is the same as the overall concept of civil disobedience and it stands for non violence but there are certain groups within that organization that disagree.Some would argue that it can't be civil disobedience because it involves some sort of violence but doesn't the core concept of civil disability allow room for violence when there is no other way?
