From Revolt To Revolution
1) Theoretically, a revolt breaks out in society when is a major disagreement between the
citizens and the government. Techonically a revolte breaks out and the human individual
beomces a rebel, which will of course lead to psychological instablity which will affect
the community and their surroudings as well. In the sense community revolts when and
an act, sitution or a relationship becomes intolerable. It was possible to endure injustice
want hunger oppression and scron up to a certain point, up to a certain moment: then
suddenly sometimes as a result of a seeminly insigifcant occurance, the rebel say No. The
limit has been reached. No it is no longer possible to continure in the same direction.
Revolt is the act of dispair because in it intiation and it develpoment. They are always
acts abounding in hope, in some case scencrios deaths may occur in the purposefully
sense and the accidentaly sense. In revolut death is the true and everlasting essence of
human life. Rolviting against human kind of against society will cause the government to
get the message from the people that they do not trust the government at all moral and
ethical costs, so they decice to make matter into their hands, by trying to take control of
the goverenment and all their power. And also accoridng to the teleloigcal ehtics of
ASrisistolte he siad every human action is for the sake for human happiness, but yet even
at a high cost, which means increase in human despair.Psycholiigcally when one loses
hope on something they tend to take matters into their own hand, this basically means
that human will protest or even revolt against their higher power and even authority. And
this cuases us to ask the question if humans ar evil by nature, well techincally no this has
a lot to do with to their self-awareness of the human indidual. Logically if they are selfaware there for they do care about their surroundings then they wont care about anything
else even their own rights, there for they have the mentality that they are born to die,
these people are very pesisitmitic about life and generally don't care about society and
their way of life. On the opposite end of the specturn you have people who are very
optimistic of life, they are born to live, so techinically their life on this earth really
matters and they will do whatever it takes to live a good life, they are willing to fight for
their rights as human indivuduals and that means revolting if nessaracy.
2) In one sense Revolt is at once reactionary and mystical. It is always reactionary in the
sense that it rejects it's immediate past but favours a former and assurdely more
satifactory past: " To restore the old order of things and thereby ease the people's burden."
In theory revolts are meant to reverse politcal changes and attempt to restore society to a

state that has previousily exsisted before, which explifies the concept of reactionary. The
main reason why people revolt would be to restore the old policies and rules in place and
to remove the new rules, as they do not meet the satifiatory needs of the people. This is
why people need to be self-aware of their surroudings and make sure they elect the right
person to be in power, to prevent the citizens revolting against authoirty. In essence
revolting is meant to restore the old ways of life for the well being of society and the
greater good of humanity.
3) Rebellions have a mystical quiality because it is always reactionary in the sense that it
rejects it's immediate past but favours a former and assurdly more satifactoy past: to
restore the old order of things and thereby ease the people's burdern. They also have a
spiritual quality in which accroding to theological view that the holy spirit provides the
supernatural inspiration to the human mentality providing motivation for human
individuals to react in a rebellous manner, for yet postive reasons in order to full atain
their rights at all moral costs. The mystical quality would be supernatuaral insprieation to
the invidividual to stand up and to fight for their own beliefs to satify their needs and the
needs of the people. In essence, the mytical quiality of a rebellion, which may be
supernatuarl inspireation is genernal refered the practical concept. For example we have
saints in the Roman Catholic Church in which they sacrificed their lives by rebelling
against the authority. In the first sense the saints or martyrs are able to rebel due to the
practical concept of supernatuarl inspiration affecting the individual. In another sense it's
a mystical quality since individuals can not clearly predict the future and the consquence
of their actions. For example, Mahatma Ghanthi rebelled against the British government,
even though he couldn't theoreactically predict what would happen to his future, but yet
he took the risk and it had a huge impact on himself and society.
4) Rebellions techinically fail becuase they deal with problems with agression and the
human mind is very stressed at it's maximum level and can not perform actions to the
maximum potential. Another major reason would be rebellions aginsint an authority to
achieveing a certain goal to meet and satifiy the needs of the people at all cost, even if
means sacrificing lives. Most of the time lives are often sacrificed and lost due to various
rebellous activity going on in the world. In essence, rebellous behaviour can result in
variety of consqueces such as war or even the loss of lives. Psychologically, rebellions
give the individual a sense of pride and hope, which of course is quite deadly consdiering
theologically that pride is a deadly sin that ultimatley causes the downfall of the human
individual. In theory when the indivivdual in is the state of rebelousness, he or she will be
in a state of psychological instablity. During this state of instablity the individual will
perform unethical actions that may be against certain moral laws, which will create a
dystopian type enviornment that will cause the ultuaplte failure of the indidvidual. In
essence that is how rebellions fail, since they use certain amounts of agression to deal
with the problems in which the individual is facing at the moment. According to the
telelogical ethics of Aristole, he discusses how every action we do is for the sake of our

well being and the happiness of others. Logically in this case we will do what it takes to
achieve our happiness, even if it means behaving in a rebeloius manner. It's in our moral
tendency to try, try again, we will do what ever it takes to reach the highest good.
5) In theory, a revolution means a change in the way a country is governed, usually to a
different politcal system and often using voilence or like war to solve the various issues.
When a revolt happens, there is also violent action against authority, but the scope and
consequences are smaller, more limited. In essence a revolt may take place somewhere
for a particular reason usually to show disgust and as a way to protest about something
and for a brief period of time. Revolutions are more radical and often shake the whole
country.
