Dr. Martin Luther King analysis Martin Luther King is trying to tell his audience that everyone should be treated equal. The fact that somebody can say such powerful words off the top of their head is amazing. In this portion of the speech, he is telling people what he sees possible to happen in the future. Dr. King wants equality between blacks and whites. One line that really stood out to me is when he states, “I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I think that this is very powerful because he’s saying that our nation isn’t reaching its goal, to be equal, and it certainly needs to.
was against the traditional views and unjust laws, which discriminated against him and his fellow people. He felt that the only way that these unjust laws and traditional beliefs would ever change would be by protestesting. He also felt that without protest the laws and traditions would remain the same forever. Along with encouraging protest, King's letter was also a justification of his actions. By taking the time to answer his critics (or persecutors, as he is in prison) with patience, logic and intelligence, as opposed to retaliating, King was also able to justify his actions.
Jayla carson English 131 prof. Mclaughin September 18, 2013 King's rhetorical arguement In Martin Luther King's, "I Have A Dream" speech, he uses rhetorical devices to spread his message of equality. Through Ethos, Pathos, and Logos, King presents a well rounded arguement. These rhetorical appeals create a connection between King and his audience. King's connection to the audience comes from his use to pathos. When King says "we cannot walk alone.
Setting sail was bravery for Telemachus, as his second step towards manhood. Furthermore, Telemachus physical appearance is more like his father Odysseus in book four. Odysseus feet were like Telemachus and his hands as well. Telemachus had the fine shock of hair just like his father Odysseus. When Telemachus had his speech his words had all his father’s wisdom of him.
In this way I feel that I was very similar to Lois Stalvey in her novel The Education of a WASP. Just like Stalvey I “had not yet been tested [in regards to racism]” and “Black voices of complaint were only heard in the South” (Stalvey 2). Since there was almost no racial diversity, many people just ignored the racism in my town. By ignoring racism it was like it almost didn’t exist because it didn’t seem to affect anyone. This is very similar to Stalvey because she also didn’t believe racism was still prevalent because it did not seem to affect anyone close to her.
For instance, based on the content of the paper, the principal objective of the Declaration and Address is unity. As earlier indicated, Thomas Campbell primary goal in writing the report was to unite men with God as well as with each other. In most of the pages of the paper, Thomas Campbell has mentioned unity. According to him, disunity in Christianity is a stumbling block to progress among Christian faithful. For instance, one of the statements of agreement in the document states that integration tends to build a common cause of simple evangelical Christianity.
Gandhi, Mandela, and the Dalai Lama were all outspoken advocates of human rights and opposed the abuses of these rights. They all were in favor of nonviolent protest, except for a time when Mandela decided it wouldn’t be effective, but changed his mind later while in prison. Gandhi himself, even partly inspired the ideas and actions of Mandela and the Dalai Lama. Viktor Frankl recounted his experience in the concentration camps and saw probably the worst abuses of human rights out of all of them, but still managed to be peaceful and nonaggressive and applied his philosophy to others, but did not speak out about stopping them. Mandela and Gandhi both worked in South Africa, however Gandhi only advocated and protested for Indians rights, rather than the rights of all the minorities of South Africa.
“…there are two types of laws: there are just laws, and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that "An unjust law is no law at all.” – Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail In his letter Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. responds to the clergy whom have spoken against his demonstrations. In his letter he makes clear that the ultimate law is that of God and the moral code provided by God and that any law which is unjust does not belong in a righteous society therefore the law must be disobeyed if one is to be morally correct under God. Although I do not share the religious faith that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has, I do agree that one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws because an unjust law by definition does not coincide with moral code. What is an unjust law?
Karl was never mean to the Younger family. Karl politely asked them to move. Both of these characters tell it like it is. Paul told Grant how life was and was very straight up and so did Karl, when he told them that no one wants them living there, I don’t think either of them intentionally meant to be rude. They are the white characters that are not mean to the African Americans.
Malcolm X is addressing everyone; friends, enemies, brothers, sisters; everyone. It has really no effect on how he’s speaking because he’s sincere in his point, the democrats didn’t follow through on the civil rights as they said they would and if everyone worked together, the blacks could have a say and make a difference. When Malcolm X addressed the unjust treatment of the blacks he blamed the democrats for playing a “political con game.” The topics of all of these speeches are the same in the sense that they all speak of civil rights and racism; the lack of civil rights and the continuation of racism. Kennedy’s speech differs greatly from both Malcolm X and Martin Luther’s speeches because he is addressing his fellow citizens, but when you read on, you can clearly see he is addressing those that are being racially discriminant against the blacks. Martin Luther is different because he’s strictly speaking to his brothers and sisters and how they’re going to be the change and live out his
