    When people believe something is wrong, they will usually complain about it but it takes a special kind of person to effectively stand up for what they believe in. When people stand up for what they believe in, in a provocative way we call it radical. Thomas Jefferson and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were two very important people who stood up for what they believed in and they did so in powerful ways. They both addressed their problems in similar ways by writing letters in order to get their points across however, they wrote them differently. Jefferson’s intended audience was the King of England while King’s was clergymen, so both of them had to write in different styles to appeal to their readers. The point of the Declaration of Independence…

    Racism is one of the larger social issues of the modern world. It has affected millions of people worldwide and is one of the biggest social problems in history. While many great leaders and outstanding speakers have stood up and tried to fight this issues, two who stand out to me are, Martin Luther king Jr, a revolutionary speaker everyone learns to know as a child, and Stokely Carmicheal, a less known speaker with a very different method of sharing his ideas. Although King and Carmicheal both agree racism and slavery are inhuman acts that needed to be stopped, each had different ways to relay their messages. "I Have A Dream...", The speech given by Martin Luther King Jr that inspired thousands of all races to fight for equality, and work…

    John Steinbeck’s famous book Of Mice and Men makes readers wrestle with loss and question their morals. It subtly builds upon multiple themes of friendship, power, loneliness, and, most notably, dreams. The harsh setting juxtaposes the characters’ dreams, and without them their situations are very bleak: George and Lennie were running from another town and the trouble they got into there; Curley’s wife was only a teenager who impulsively married someone she didn’t love; Crooks was a crippled black man on an all-white ranch, surrounded by people who wanted nothing to do with him; and Candy was an old man who knew it was only a matter of time before the others on the ranch threw him out to fend for himself. Additionally, it was set in the…

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. truly had a dream; one of great value and effort. His wishes spoke of a world where the people accept each other for who they are, rather than to alter our natural diversity. The coming together of these two equally worthy parts, will blossom into a symphony of light. Societal differences are natural, not to be payed too much attention to, but neither neglected.…

    In the words of Robert F. Kennedy, “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lots of other, or strikes out against injustice, he sound out a tiny ripple of hope.” Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X sent hope to African-Americans throughout America for racial equality. Although both Civil Rights Leaders wanted to achieve racial equality in the United States, they had two very different approaches on how to do it. Dr. King’s message and tone in his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963 was one of hope and optimism for the future, and that racial equality can only be gained through integration. He gained this view of integration and optimism as he was growing up.…

    I firmly believe that African American’s have significantly progressed since the year 1865. Before this time in history, blacks were not considered people, but slaves and were nothing more than free labor to slave holders. The treatment these African American people were given could be described as nothing other than heinous. On December 6, 1865 the 13th amendment was ratified and slavery was officially illegal according to the U.S. constitution. Since then, the African American people persevered.…

    Imagine a herd of sheep with no shepherd, a band of rats with no piper, or a hive with no queen bee. In all of the scenarios, there is unmitigated chaos and uncontrollable disorder due to the lack of a unifying purpose. A world filled with followers would be similar, with everyone ready to conform but with no path to follow, and would lead to an unproductive and aimless society. On the other hand, imagine a pack of only alpha wolves or a pride consisting solely of dominant lions. Such a society also fails to function, in this case, because all the competing interests clamor only to be heard but never executed, as there is a lack of solidarity in achieving a purpose.…
