Addition information from Wiki
People who fight for the rights of other people or promote some highly moral attitude towards life deserve respect. There are, of course, people who are fighting against something: for example, many teachers and students are fighting against services like "do my essay" service (check website in order to understand about which services I write) because their morality does not allow them to come to terms with the existence of such services. You can argue with such people because these services do not harm our world and the struggle of these people is caused only by their personal beliefs. But it is difficult to argue with people who put forward some highly moral attitudes on life, because there is no wrong in their words and their intentions. In the case of these people, those who argue with them will be wrong because it is impossible and stupid to challenge highly moral attitudes to life.
