How to use "Stood up for" in context?
When it comes to standing up for what we believe in, there is no quiet disciple. Anyone who has ever fought for a cause, or voiced a dissenting opinion, knows this to be true.
There is something about standing up publicly and proclaiming our convictions that motivates many of us. It's a way of asserting ourselves, of putting ourselves out there, and of making a statement. It can be exhilarating to have our convictions affirmed, and to know that we have inspired others to stand up as well.
Sometimes, standing up for what we believe in means standing up to hateful rhetoric or physical violence.
