Demonstrations have many definitions and understanding of different judging from a different angle. Demonstrations can be interpreted as a demonstration action undertaken by a person or group of people to show how to work, how to manufacture, as well as how to use a device, material, or medication if judging from the standpoint of trade and science.

The public perception became progressively worse to the demonstrations because of the actions that the culprits were unsettling and ignore the real meaning of the demonstration. This will be the author discussed in subsequent chapters.
