Opponents of civil disobedience see it as a threat to democratic society and the forerunner of violence and anarchy. The premise... to disobey a law that they feel is unjust. As martin luther king Jr. , wrote in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, "I submit that an individual who breaks a law that his conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law. " Civil disobedience is most justifiable when prior lawful attempts to rectify the situation have failed; and when the acts of civil disobedience are done to force the society to recognize the problem; when performed openly and publicly; and when the actor will accept the punishment. Many proponents urge that civil disobedience be used only in the most extreme cases, arguing that the Constitution provides many opportunities to voice one's grievances without breaking the law.
The United States fought of the oppression over the colonies in the late 1700’s by first peacefully protesting the unjust taxes waged against them. Slowing building into a common belief that the people in the colonies had the same rights as those of Britain, and asking for the same rights. After the government chose to ignore their rights, and tax more or in and out of the colonies did the American raise arms to separate from the tyrant rule of Britain. We still find certain laws unjust and willingly break them to bring forth the point of wrongdoing, and that issues need to be addressed in today’s society for the betterment of our children. We have people that chose to not wear their seatbelt in their vehicle.
As she refuses to talk to anybody, the child created her own imaginary world being unwilling to look at the reality: “Why couldn't he understand that if he kept quiet, if all of them kept quiet, her parents would hear her and come to take her home?” (47).

Banneker begins the letter by asking Jefferson to recall the “tyranny” in which he has “suffered” previously as a way to show him what “horrors” the current slaves are being “exposed” to now. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence to put an end to injustice treatment of human beings. Banneker shows Jefferson that he is not acting upon his words by personally owning slaves and treating blacks harshly. Jefferson’s “abhorrence” to the “injustice” that drove him to write the Declaration of Independence is not at all being exhibited to blacks. Jefferson had so many disdained feelings when he was being abased by the British, but after his freedom was granted, he lost sight of what was right.
In this essay, Gardner suggests that drugs and the black market are primary causes of gang related violence, and that these causes are often ignored. He observes Mexico’s strategy of increasing law enforcement to treat gang violence, suggesting it does not solve the problem due to the economic law of markets self-correcting. Finally, he concludes by suggesting that Canada will suffer the same fate as Mexico if we adopt the same policies towards gang violence they have. In the beginning, Gardner plays on our inherent inquisitiveness by painting a picture of action and excitement. He starts by questioning the bloody, gang related violent events that took place in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico in March of 2003.
He explained that white men always win and cheat, so the white men are the victors but the white man is always a bad man. This shows that it can be prejudice because Tom`s story was not heard and he was accused of being guilty and so he was killed. In cases of Tom being wrongly accused, harassment by others, on Scout and Atticus defending the jail can have an opinion of people that is destructive. When the group of men came to kill Tom, it shows that if Scout and Jem did not have a father would be the same thing for Walter Cunningham.
Essentially he is cautioning John that the power of corruption can take over any man. I believe in that point in time, both the white and black South African’s hated one another because of a malicious circle of inequality. The black population was often persecuted and disrespected and left uneducated and under waged by the minority white population. Racism and inequality was what sparked the black population to resort to crime. Patton depicts the cruel reality of crime and hatred in South Africa through Absolam and his trial.
Being a war-opponent and social activist, Howard Zinn’s most likely intention in writing “Unsung Heroes” was to educate people about the mistakes (and deliberate lies) that are, in his opinion, very common in the perception of American history. Also, he likely wanted to direct attention towards the un-credited but “true” heroes who may not be shining enough to fit the common definition of a hero, but who have made meaningful contributions and therefore deserve to be remembered. In any case, they are people who are not responsible for killings of native Americans or the suppressing of minorities. Despite the popularity of Zinn’s views and of “A Peoples History of the United States”, there is an opinion that Zinn is overly pessimistic in his interpretation of the past. Further, some people complain, as he states himself, that they feel “thoroughly alienated and depressed” after reading the book.
He was arrested more than once for resisting the government. His view on just and unjust laws was that an unjust law did not harmonize with the moral law- it just was not right. Martin Luther King Jr. did not want to "evade or defy the law as a rabid segregationist would", but he did not want to stand there and let the government do him and other African Americans wrong; therefore, he broke only the unjust laws, and he did so openly. Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King Jr. were two men fighting against unfair laws peacefully. Peacefully is the key word.
I think that the outcome of this confrontation was that she understood that it is wrong to hit the child in public places. 3- No one in my family or close to me had been referral for special needs as a child or older students. However; my sister’s neighbor was referred for special needs because the father and mother were having family problems, and I believe that these problems affected their children. The couple recently divorced and one of the girls had trouble learning and talking. So the social worker went to my sister house and asks her if she had seen any kind of child abuse?
