Answer 1

Nonviolent protest carries risks and can be effective, but it may lack impact or incite violence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nonviolent protest, like the methods employed by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., carries certain risks. Although it aims to minimize casualties and fosters dialogue, there is a possibility that it may lack impact or incite violence.

On one hand, nonviolent protest can be effective because it minimizes casualties by avoiding physical harm. It also fosters dialogue and opens the door to peaceful resolution of conflicts.

On the other hand, nonviolent protest may lack impact, as it relies on the goodwill and responsiveness of the authorities. Additionally, there is a risk that nonviolent protest can be met with violence from opposition or incite violence in some cases.
