From the moment we screamed with rage in our cradle, most of us have inwardly expressed disagreement almost every day of our lives, although we usually haven't the time to attempt any remedy. But when feelings become aroused, direct action in the form of a public protest is often the result. Look at Life cameras were at one of the Aldermaston 'ban the bomb' marches. They went out with university students, who protest as part of tradition. They joined the crowds at Speakers' Corner in Hyde Park, London. They visited John Creasey, the novelist, when he was organising his petition for a national day of mourning for road deaths. And they filmed those who protest about aircraft noise. The film emphasises the right to voice an opinion in Britain, whether that opinion is heard or not.
This film was first broadcast: 1960

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important thing you should know about history?
This question doesn't have an easy answer. Learning is about three things. We must first realize that knowledge is power. Second, knowledge can be cumulative. Third, we must appreciate how quickly knowledge changes.
Knowledge is power. It empowers us to make better choices and improve our lives. We wouldn't have any problems making decisions if we had perfect information. We'd do what we want, without worrying about whether it was correct or not.
Knowledge is not just power; it's also cumulative. This means that we add knowledge to our brains every time we learn something. As time goes on, we become smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Let's now move on to the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is constantly evolving. Scientists discover new theories and facts every day. There are always new discoveries.
Technology is a key component of our culture. It allows us to instantly access information. Technology allows us to save vast amounts data and share it between millions of people across the globe.
Globalization has changed how we think about technology. Globalization refers to the spread of ideas and products across borders. Knowledge is now available everywhere because of globalization.
Access to information from anywhere on the planet is possible thanks to the internet. Everybody can read books and watch movies. They can also listen to music, play games, or surf the internet. All these activities require knowledge.
Knowledge is becoming more available, but it is also becoming more niche. Today, there are thousands of websites providing advice on topics such a health, finance, business and cooking. These sites have information on every topic.
You'll find only a few sites that offer automotive-related services or products if your goal is to purchase a car online. There are many sites that cover every topic, but you will only find a few websites that focus on cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts often have a deep understanding of a particular field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can focus on a small number of sites with lots of useful content.
Experts also have the advantage of specialization. They can build strong businesses around this expertise. A person buys a book because he expects that the author is knowledgeable enough about his topic to be able to give a concise and clear explanation. He wants to be confident that the author understands his message.
If an expert does not specialize, he risks losing out on potential customers who expect him to be knowledgeable.
There are many areas of expertise. Many of us today are specialists in many areas. A specialist could be an accountant. We are also likely to be parents, spouses and friends.
Some experts say that the commonality of specialization makes it impossible to succeed in many different areas.
So how can you become an expert across multiple fields? It's simple: practice. You've got to put in the hours necessary to learn something. You can make great progress if you continue to work until people recognize you.
Today, entire industries are dedicated to helping others achieve their goals. People can quickly learn through courses, workshops seminars, conferences, schools and other venues.
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He was aware of the importance to continue learning, knowing that there would be a time when he would have to relearn his old habits and adopt new ones.
The same holds true for our businesses. No matter how well we plan for success, there will be times when we hit roadblocks and find ourselves stuck in an unproductive rut.
This is why it is so important to constantly learn new ways to grow. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneur. There are two types of entrepreneurs: those who keep busy and those who stay sharp.
Those who keep busy are focused on their business' growth. They focus on customer service and marketing strategies.
They may feel like they've accomplished something meaningful, but often they're missing the mark. If these entrepreneurs don't focus on being smarter, they will not be able achieve sustainable growth.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances.
Entrepreneurs are successful because they look for ways of improving their products and services in the face of challenges.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They are unwilling to change their course of action until their business collapses.
To succeed, you must master both the art of adaptation and self-reflection.
What can we learn from the past?
There are three lessons we've learned from history. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. The second is to ensure that people are ready to accept change in their lives. Third, you can't change the past without changing the future.
The first lesson is to recognize that there are two options for changing the world. One is fighting for it, the other is creating it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
You cannot control what people think, but you can make sure they like the way you present them. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you try to convince someone to do something, you will fail.
The idea of a great movement was born when someone had it and took action. It doesn't matter if you're trying to create change or react to it. These are the rules that will help you make an impact.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either wait for our lives to happen to us, or we can choose to make them happen. This means that we have to decide what kind life we want. Do we expect someone else to let us live? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?
I believe we are living in a golden era. There is more opportunity than ever, which makes it exciting. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
However, it can also be a problem. It is essential to determine what you want, and how you can get it.
Let's say, for instance, that you are looking to buy a home. You could sit back and hope someone gives you a gift certificate to Home Depot. You could also ask yourself "What would you love to do?" Next, find a job that allows you to do this. Finally, apply for financing.
Let's pretend you want to travel all over the globe. You might ask yourself, "Where do I want to go?" You might then start saving money and researching other countries online. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. In this case, you'd probably end-up doing one of the things. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. It might seem ridiculous, but it's true.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It is very simple. Our choices impact who we become and who we are.
It is important to take inspiration from past experiences, learn from mistakes and succeed until you are successful.
If you don’t believe that you have anything to contribute, then you are already behind. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
You don't need to know everything in order to start. Start small and move on. Take stock of the lessons you've learned in your entire life. Which areas have you struggled with? Which areas have you excelled? How have you overcome obstacles?
You are the only person who can limit what you can do. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin once said that "Nothing will work without you."
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
We all wish to live in a world where everyone learns from the past, but there are more valuable things than learning from our mistakes.
There's no better way to learn to do something right than to experience it wrong.
The most serious mistake is to try to make it right the first go.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
You might find out that it was easier than you thought.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. You've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes starts at the beginning. Take a step back and look at your mistakes objectively. Then ask yourself, "What did you learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They are learning opportunities.
Thomas Edison was the victim of this fate. He failed numerous times before finally inventing light bulbs.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was an opportunity to improve his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Take advantage of them.
Then try again.

How To
The Suez Canal Changed the World
The Suez Canal was built in 1869 by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who wanted to connect Europe and Asia through his project. To accomplish this, he had to build a canal through the Isthmus of Suez (the narrowest point), to allow ships from Europe and Asia to reach India/China. It required the construction and maintenance of several locks as well as dams. He visited Egypt multiple times, and there he met with Khedive Ismail Pasha in order to finance the project. But, upon his return to France, it was discovered that Napoleon III has been overthrown and the Second Empire has taken over, with no interest in such a large-scale project. It was three years later that the French government funded the project. In 1859, after the British were defeated at the Battle of Omdurman during the Sudan War, they signed a treaty allowing them access to the Red Sea via the Suez Canal, which opened in 1869.
The project opened up trade routes to increase international commerce and helped many countries develop around the world, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan and South Africa.
In addition, people can travel much more quickly than ever thanks to the Suez Canal. It used to take weeks and months to cross Isthmian Peninsula. But now it takes only days. People could travel to places such as Paris, London and Rome without having to go through dangerous storms or long sea voyages. Furthermore, the Suez Canal made it possible to travel between North America (Europe) by reducing the distance by almost 3,000 mi. These benefits made the Suez Canal one the most important transportation projects.
However, the Suez Canal also caused problems because it divided the Ottoman Empire into two parts, eventually leading to the First World War. During World War I, the British used Suez Canal to attack Germany. However, the Germans used their version of Suez Canal against Britain. The Suez Canal was finally under Egyptian control after the war ended, but the British retained the land to its right.
After the Second World War, both sides continued to trade through the Suez Canal until the Arab-Israeli War in 1948. At first, both sides did not want to act against each other, fearing the other side might use force. Israel took over the Sinai peninsula of Egypt from Egypt in 1967. In that year, all shipping except military vessels was prohibited from the Suez Canal. The canal was closed for four years before President Sadat opened it to civilian traffic in 1973.
