Can revolutions still happen? If so what in?

Answer 1

Of course revolutions still happen. Websters Dictionary contains the following varied definitions of "Revolution"

Revolution: The act of revolving, or turning round on an axis or a center; the motion of a body round a fixed point or line; rotation; as, the revolution of a wheel, of a top, of the earth on its axis, etc.

Revolution: Return to a point before occupied, or to a point relatively the same; a rolling back; return; as, revolution in an ellipse or spiral.

Revolution: The space measured by the regular return of a revolving body; the period made by the regular recurrence of a measure of time, or by a succession of similar events. "The short revolution of a day."

Revolution (in Astronomy): The motion of any body, as a planet or satellite, in a curved line or orbit, until it returns to the same point again, or to a point relatively the same; designated as the annual, anomalistic, nodical, sidereal, or tropical revolution, according as the point of return or completion has a fixed relation to the year, the anomaly, the nodes, the stars, or the tropics; as, the revolution of the earth about the sun; the revolution of the moon about the earth. The term is sometimes applied in astronomy to the motion of a single body, as a planet, about its own axis, but this motion is usually called rotation.

Revolution (in Geometry): The motion of a point, line, or surface about a point or line as its center or axis, in such a manner that a moving point generates a curve, a moving line a surface (called a surface of revolution), and a moving surface a solid (called a solid of revolution); as, the revolution of a right-angled triangle about one of its sides generates a cone; the revolution of a semicircle about the diameter generates a sphere.

Revolution: A total or radical change; as, a revolution in one's circumstances or way of living.

Revolution: A fundamental change in political organization, or in a government or constitution; the overthrow or renunciation of one government, and the substitution of another, by the governed.

Answer 2

The world witnessed several revolutions and most of those countries have now reached another stage for a new revolution for justice, eradication of religious evils, against corruption and so on. The reformations we could achieve through those revolutions had limits and the freedoms people got are now being misused and the authorities gone corrupted. The base for true revolution needs to be individuals mind with proper education to the new generation.

Answer 3

Yes. Imagine this if you will. A country where every four years the government is changed completely. Some government officals stay, others are forced out, while other step aside.

They call it the American Government. Every 4 years we have a revolution, albeit a peaceful one.

Answer 5

If you are talking about the Earth's revolution, then yes, it is happening right now.

If you are talking about a revolt, then of course. There are some unstable countries, like Iraq, who are on the verge of a revolution.

Answer 6

Not in the USA, apparently.

If the citizens here allow a dolt like GW to :
-lead them into a war they can't win and don't want
-allow citizens to languish in a hurricane devastated environment without any real plan in place for recovery
-imprison people who were arrested after 9/11 without a trial date and leave them in legal limbo
-tap into private telephone conversations
-have no alternative to rising gas prices
-ruin our credibility abroad
-have no policy on immigration
etc.

Nobody even calls for impeachment, let alone revolution...

Answer 7

revolutions are going on in just about every country so I guess they still can.
Everyone is revolting against who is the ruling power
Because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

As Dr. Phil would say:"because he can"

Wheels.

Answer 9
