  1. If you lived through the 60s, the civil riots, the unrest, the anti-war demonstrations, the crowds of unruly students in the streets, with hundreds of young soldiers dying every day -- every day, and in-depth TV coverage of people being shot at close range coming into our living rooms every night, you might have more understanding of "the why and wherefore" of the song "Student Demonstration Time." - Wikipedia

  3. Student demonstrations can often be a reaction to a polarized government, reflecting broader societal divisions and political tensions. The degree to which this is true can vary based on the specific context and issues at hand. For instance, recent student demonstrations have been observed in response to international conflicts and policies, such as the pro-Palestinian campus protests in the United States. These protests have sometimes escalated to the point of intervention by law enforcement and have led to arrests and changes in university operations, like classes going virtual. Such actions by students are indicative of their engagement with global political issues and suggest a reaction not only to government policies but also to university administrations’ responses to these issues. The intensity and spread of these demonstrations across various campuses can be seen as a measure of the polarization and the strength of student activism in the face of political decisions they perceive as unjust or in need of change. It’s a complex interplay of local, national, and international politics that can fuel student movements. - Microsoft Copilot AI
