My own definition of revolution is when there's sudden change in government and politics, caused by majority of unsatisfied citizens for the desire of stability for current government system. It is not so easy; most of the revolutions goes through violence and disagreements. However it is the unsatisfied citizen's responsibility to keep fighting to change their own world that they are living in. As I learned in my world history class about several revolutions, I believe that all those revolution would be fail without the citizen fighting for their rights and authority. Citizens were the ones unsatisfied with current government system and desires for change therefore I believe that they are the ones responsible to make changes if changes are necessary. Not only the responsibility but the citizens have the power and authority to change the world.

Also in Candide chapter 19 through 22, there's lots of places that need stability. In chapter 19 page 51, Candide and Cacambo meets a slave without one arm and leg. This shows slavery during that time which shows unstable social class. Also in page 52, slave told Candide and Cacambo that "Dutch fetishes" "converted [him] to their religion" which shows religion problems during that time. This scene of meeting a slave also cause Candide to "[give] up on [Pangloss's] Optimism after all" (p.52), he loses his rays of hope. Then, Candide tries to secure passage to Venice, Vanderdendur offers his ship and Candide agrees to Vanderdendur's offer. However Vanderdendur takes all of Candide's fortune and sails away. This caused Candide to see and experience "the wickedness of man" and "its ugliness" which also doubts Candide about the "best of all possible world" and loses his rays of hope. This also shows unstable dishonesty during that time. However his love for Cunegonde continues to renew his hope. In chapter 21, Martin describes his experience being in Paris; he was in prison for 8 days for no reason, which indicates that the government of France was corrupted and they were taking in innocent people in prison. Citizen should create a clear environment where real criminals are arrested, not innocent ones. This point is indicated by events in chapter 22 too, when Candide is tricked again and robbed of all his fortunes, and arrested for no particular reason. However when Candide bribed guard, the guard immediately let's him out. Every trouble that Candide goes in, he solves it by bribing the guard and others. All of example in chapter 19 to 22 shows unstable environment that is needed for stability with less corruption in government, in human and the world that human live in. Regardless of unstable and corrupted world, Candide continues his journey with his only hope of meeting Cunegonde.
