rebellion
Rebellion is an uprising that resists and is organized against one's government. A rebel is a person who engages in a rebellion. A rebel group is a consciously coordinated group that seeks to gain political control over an entire state or a portion of a state. A rebellion is often caused by political, religious, or social grievances that originate from a perceived inequality or marginalization. Rebellion comes from Latin re and bellum, and in Lockian philosophy refers to the responsibility of the people to overthrow unjust government.

coexistence
thumb|"Coexist (image)|Coexist" display at a [[U2 concert, containing Islamic, Jewish, and Christian symbols]] Coexistence is the property of things existing at the same time and in a proximity close enough to affect each other, without causing harm to one another.
