When you hear about protests in the news, do you feel inspired to act, and how does that look for you?

depending on what they are protesting I do feel inspired and show appreciation for the act.

Yes I do get inspired. I think it’s important to have our voices heard on important issues.

I dont think me personally being out their so i can get gassed over straight activism is such a good idea

Yes I do, because when I hear about all these issues around the world - I feel like I want to help them and raise my voice for them.

No. The news is not unbiased and they generate more revenue perpetuating negative material. If a cause is worth protesting, i’ll protest. We have bigger issues at home we are ignoring.

I think people should have the right to protest and if it is for a cause I agree with I may choose to as well.

I do not feel inspired and just want to see their opinions

I think if someone is really hurt for them to protest I think they should make a change to make their people happier.

In my opinion, when I hear about protests on the news, I feel inspired to try and help out the protests that actually involve me and to help support it

my reaction would likley depend on the topic of protest, and the actions of the protesting group, if i agree with their point and they arent ruining cities, or causing risk and destruction, then ill be fine wth it

No. Lately protest has gone from the valuable tool it used to be to a form of whining. It is pathetic

Yes especially against things like the Covid-19 protest that was across Canada I was more then willing to support it because things like that is what causes the government to crash and then we realize that Covid was just a way for the government to lower the population.

For example the whole Palestine war. I see protesters in Halifax all the time. I feel sorry for them. Their homes and country is being blown up and there is not much they can do about it. It makes me want to do something about it and want to put an end to it all. I couldn't imagine being in their position, Forced to leave the country if they value their life and of their family, And that happening to Canada. I would feel torn, And i'm sure all those people do too.

It depends on the protest. If it is in favour of the Canadian people, I feel so terribly enflamed to support it.

I do not always feel inclined to act do to the reason often these protests do not result in peace, they often result in violence and destruction of public property, furthermore often times not any research is being done prior to the protest, often individuals jump on a "bandwagon" of sorts as human beings often seek enjoyment from being collectively opposed at something even if the cause may be unjust or corrupt.

only if the activism does not interfere with others rights to carry on their and basic needs

I do not find it inspiring to act, even though I care about the topic.

I do not feel inspired, but I respect what they do to have their wanted rights.

Absolutely. Acting on social issues can look different for everyone.

I feel inspired to act by protesting or otherwise making my voice heard

i don't really have political view most of the protest don't inspire me

Depends on what they’re protesting about half the people that protest are stupid these days. Have the protests that are organized aren’t even really that well organized anymore it’s just a bunch of nonsense most of them not all of them. Some of them are very well stood.

I do feel inspired to act, but being a small town in the middle of no where, you don't there is much you can do.

Yes i feel inspired to act as a Social Activism rather than protesting for those.

I don't like it because I find it as a dangerous way of trying to change things.

I feel hopelessness because our government doesnt really seem to be listening to what the people want. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Depends on what it is. I support the truckers, but I believe the free palestiners should be charged with supporting genocide.

I don't feel inspired to act about it because most of the time it doesnt bother me

Of course, if there is anything I can do to help, I choose to.

When I agree with their beliefs, I feel proud that my fellow citizens felt strong enough to fight for what they believe is right, But when I disagree with them I simply believe their moronic and should be made fun of, laugh at the reprocussions they face for speaking out.

When I hear about protests in the news, I would feel inspired to act if I supported what the people were protesting about. If it was something I disagree with, I would find a way to support those against it but, if I supported it, I would go and protest with them.

Think that it all depends on what the protestisfor, however I dislike them overall us find that those uno participateinthese things are not well adverse in the topic and want to make aloud noise without doing enough research onthe overall issue. Ican appreciate people and passionate but trey often lead to rage
And negativity

I feel like it is good to see the spirit of free speech alive as long as protests are non violent

If it's for a cause that will affect my future in a good way then yes I'd feel inspired to act.

I never feel inspired to act in protests although some topics may make me feel mad, confused or glad about why people are protesting it, I would not do anything about it besides feel how I feel.

Me personally I don't protest but I encouraged everyone to protest.

It doesn't make me want to act and more often than not makes me think people are overreacting to many issues.

I don’t care really, they can protest if they want to protest. I don’t join protests

I do not really feel inspired to act, I am not a social activist myself. What I wish for is peace on Earth. I do not really pay attention to political conflicts. Overall, I am just neutral.

It depends on what we are protesting about and if I am inspired maybe I will talk about with my friends. I don’t know

I don't pay attention to the news, I'll do what I think is right but I will not make a scene out of it and over-dramatize it.

I don't agree with the BLM movement nor the Trans-rights ideology. I don't see how defunding the police nor promoting pro-choice ideas would help anyone. It may be attractive to the younger generation unfortunately.

I do, but ultimately, there is not enough people and they would just make fun of me.

With certain subjects i feel inspired to act but others no so much.

it depends entirely on the actions and cause behind the protests

No it doesn’t make me want to act and depending what its about inask myself why do people feel okay looking stupid or I think good job
