As long as there have been students, there have been student protests, but the reasons that students protest are as varied as students themselves. Sometimes they protest for more rights for everyone, sometimes they protest for fewer rights for some.
Almost every country from New Zealand, as Reuters reported, to the United States of America (per
Time) has witnessed their students protesting. And few protests can be described as ineffective. Even if the effects are gradual, student protests often find themselves changing the world more than they may realize at the time.
