If allowed to continue, tax evasion was a serious offense.

Explanation:

Tax evasion refers to the practice where an individual refuses to pay his taxes. In "Disobedencia Civil," we can see how Thoreau reinforces the idea of committing tax evasion if the American government continues to use taxes to finance wars and unnecessary intrigues that cause the return and not the progress of the population. In this case, he refers to tax evasion as a civil disobedience, as he recognizes that for society and the government this would be a serious and offensive act.

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.
