What are the opposite words for acquiescence?
Acquiescence is the act of agreeing to something without resistance or objection. Its antonyms, on the other hand, are words that describe the opposite behavior- defiance and disagreement. Some antonyms for acquiescence include dissension, objection, protest, refusal, dissent, noncompliance, discord, and resistance. These words represent the act of standing up for one's beliefs, opinions, and values, and opposing something that goes against them. They are essential for maintaining a healthy democracy and a just society, as they ensure that individuals are not forced to accept something they do not agree with. Overall, while acquiescence may sometimes be necessary, antonyms like protest and resistance are equally important to maintain balance in society.
