Definition
- Worldwide, protests against a state or a political entity, or in advocacy of a public cause, happen frequently, in a variety of ways, and are usually short-lived. The effectiveness of a protest can be measured and interpreted by a variety of factors, not all dependent on achieving the actual reform or cause the protestors seek, as the amount of support and attention a protest receives could be considered a type of achievement.
