Summary:The revolution will not be polite: the issue of nice versus good

This text is based on the idea of the difference between good and nice. The author wants, through this text, to send a message that being good is something everyone should do, although the nice way of doing it is not necessarily the best. Why shouldn't we focus on being nice?
 The author point of view is that nice ways of changing thing won't get things to change. She thinks that if people can't see the difference between good and nice, they are still far away from social justice. We can see that when people who want something good but the "bad way" as for example the femen, are always shown as a bad example to society. In the other hand, Steve Jobs is for many a hero and a great man although we all know the conditions in where the apple workers live.
In addition, Rachael believes that privilege is a completely misunderstood concept. It's not living somewhere where everyone is nice, is living in a world where from your birth, you're given systematic advantage over other people.
She thinks, that  instead of looking for a nice way to fight for your rights, you should focus on the problem itself and not care of the way you ask for it.

  1. Check moodle for your grade. The main idea is Way too Broad. Don't ask questions in the summary. In the body of your summary follow the order of the text and don't add your own input. Don't Quote. Femen = Female/Feminine. What does steve jobs have to do with the text. Your conclusion is great.
