arguing that dissent is necessary for Democracy .]] Dissent is a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or '', '' Consensus '' (when all or nearly all parties agree on something) and '' Consent '' (when one party agrees to a proposition made by another). Dissent may be expressed in many ways. In some Political Systems , dissent may be formally expressed by way of Opposition Politics , while Politically Repressive regimes may prohibit any form of dissent, leading to Suppression Of Dissent and the encouragement of social or political Activism . Individuals who do not conform or support the policies of certain states may be described as " Dissident s," or in extreme cases, " Enemies Of The State ". Several thinkers have argued that a healthy society needs not only to protect, but also to encourage dissent.Bailey, Gordon ''Ideology: Structuring Identities in Contemporary Life'', p.124 Kozol, J.
