Review the Purpose of Paper 2, as described in the Paper 2 assignment sheet:

To present a focused, in-depth analysis of protest movements based on a specific argumentative thesis and to write about that thesis in a STEM-style research paper. Please note: For this paper you will not be focusing on one specific protest movement. Rather, you must research a question that you have about protest movements as a whole. For example, whether they have a right to commit violence or at what point a protest can be considered an insurrection (like what happened on January 6, 2021), etc.

Answer this prompt: What ideas have you gathered from the linked articles above that might work as a research question or thesis for Paper 2?
