Types Of Petitions:

Petition is the most preferred way to express your views against any government norms or odds in the society. You can raise your voice by starting a petition and collecting signatures of people who are in support of your views. Petition can easily be generated but can only be effective if promoted properly among the people. A petition with powerful and burning quotes can create awareness among the people who earlier overlooked these crucial issues of society. With the help of these petitions a whole new system can be rebuild where no corruption and no forgery will be involved. Petition has the power to even remove a ruler from its crown and destroy the whole complete administration.

A petition can be of two types, a one with traditional approach and the other with modern approach. Traditional petition refers to the old form of petition where signatures are gathered on a piece of paper where as modern petition refers to the online petition where signatures are gathered through internet. Depending on the situation and the motto of the petition both the petitions have their own pros and cons. If your petition has to deal with an issue that is confined to your own region or community then traditional petition could be the best to serve your motive. On the other hand if your petition is about an issue pertaining to whole world then online petition would be the best.

Traditional petition involve sign posts and placards which you must arrange for gathering signatures from your supporter. You will have to visit various public places and eagerly wait for people to sign your petition and have their signatures counted. You may even need to use megaphones to share your views and opinions to rest of the people of your locality so as to make them aware of the injustice against which you have raised your voice. You will have to distribute pamphlets, posters and stickers to catch the eye of people towards your petition. Though such kind of petition is little painstaking but is effective in its own way. You can take help of your friends and relatives to participate in your rally and can even have fun working together.

An online petition involves a very modern approach of internet. Here you just need to create an online petition with the required quotes and promote your link to people all around the world. Various social bookmarking sites such as youtube, facebook, orkut, technorati etc can proved to be helpful in promoting your petition to millions of visitors on internet. Chat rooms and message box have also found to be of great use. You should be well cautious of the spammer while promoting your petition online. These spammers abuse such petition without even understanding the motive behind such petition. Though online petition doesn’t involve shouting and tiring job as compared to tradition petition but it has its drawback as well.
