Riot
A tumultuous disturbance of public peace by three or more persons assembled together and acting with a common intent. Riots have occurred for many different reasons. Examples include:
Discontent as a result of poor working or living conditions
Government oppression
Protest
A statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something
Revolution
The forcible overthrow of a government through mass mobilisation (whether military or civilian or both) in the name of social justice
Revolutions are born when the social climate in a country changes and the political system does not react in kind
People become discouraged by existing conditions, which alters their values and beliefs
What is the difference between a riot and a revolution?
Riots don’t necessarily have a political goal, nor is the goal of rioting a political revolution. A revolution by definition has a political goal.
