1) If you were assigned to draft a news release to accompany Sludge to Blackrock City Council meeting on April 11, which items would you use in your lead (i.e., who, what, when, why, where, when, how)?

In “My Dungeon Shook: A Letter to My Nephew” and “A Letter from Birmingham Jail,” James Baldwin and Martin Luther King Jr. write about the racial tension of their time, respectively. It is essential to note that the nephew, James, is a mean through which Baldwin addresses African Americans. In a similar manner, King addresses white moderates by directing his letter towards a particular group of Birmingham clergymen. Both authors utilize allusion and tone to subtly encourage their respective audience to challenge the limiting societal and cultural practices of the time. King, however, offers a concrete approach; while Baldwin offer an abstract approach that African-American can take to face the limitation and discriminations.…
Letter from a Birmingham Jail Analysis Essay In this letter, King uses various tones to respond to a group of white clergymen who argue that his way of fighting social injustice is improper and to justify his means to try to achieve his purpose. King is a true civil rights activist and believes in only acting respectfully and nonviolently, but at the same time, the white clergymen, advocates of civil rights, condemn his nonviolent protest. King is “not unmindful of the difficulties involved” so he and his fellow activists have “decided to go through a process of self-purification” to be able to “accept blows” and to endure the “ordeals of jail” (King 1, 2). King uses his calm, explanatory tone to establish his creditability to his critics.…
A Letter from Birmingham jail is often the text we think about during the civil rights movement. Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. does a great job expressing his personal beliefs of what he is fighting for in the civil rights movement. Like many other writers of famous documents, I am pretty sure he did not expect this letter to get the attention it now gets. It reminds me of declarations from the 1600’s and 1700’s where grievances were sent to the King of England. He outlines his beliefs of justice and equality and explains why it is just to have the civil rights movement.…
Dearest Mr. Abner Snopes and Mrs. Nancy, I write you to ask for a favor. As you may know, Homer Barron and I have been together for quite some time now, but I think he is planning on leaving me.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a very influential man, but who influenced him? A man named Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau, a philosopher, essayist, and naturalist, gave a speech in the 1840’s. Thoreau’s speech was very influential on King and many other activists during the civil rights movement. On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience was the name of Thoreau’s speech, or lecture, in which he spoke to people to tell them to rebel against any corrupt government.…

In 1945, the War Service Land Settlement Act was passed by the Commonwealth Government with the support of all the state governments as part of a broad federal plan for the Re-establishment of Ex-servicemen. This Act provided returning ex-servicemen with an opportunity to work and run their own farm and by 1949 7½ million acres were acquired by the Commonwealth Government for this purpose. This was not a new idea.…

Conflicts as property is an initially perplexing notion. Published in a 1977 issue of The British Journal of Criminology, “Conflicts as Property” is an article criticising industrialised legal criminal systems and proposing a new, reformed system. Nils Christie suggests that conflicts are entities that are taken from their rightful owners. He later describes a hypothetical legal system where “professional thievery” of conflicts is nonexistent. By use of an analogy and several sub-ideas he deconstructs the concept.…
Similarly, Butler and Lees’ “Super-gentrification in Barnsbury, London” explains how international firms can become involved in the local markets of other nations when conditions in said local markets are adjusted in a way that favors foreign firms. The authors state, “In the 1990s, because deregulation had been insufficient to invigorate the rather conservative British finance houses, these firms were taken over, largely by foreign, mainly US-based financial mega-players – this led to large number of very high salaries and to the increased internationalization of the workers in these firms, which now make up about a third of City employment” (Butler & Lees, 475). With the movement of US-based firms into London came the movement of foreign…
In the passages "Letter from Birmingham Jail" by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and "Speech at the March on Washington" by Josephine Bake and "form Letter to Viceroy, Lord Irwin" each passage shows many examples of equality, and how non-violence can bring equal rights. To achieve true freedom one most use non-violence means in order to find a peaceful solution. To begin with discrimination people should respect the religion or color of the person and not make them less. Based on the "Speech at the March on Washington" by Josephine Baker on lines 42-45, Baker expressed "I tell you I have walked into the places of king's and queens and into the houses of presidents and much more.." This shows that she went to another country.…
The Lifeboat Dilemma There were several issues involving ethics in The Queen v. Dudley and Stephens case. The case facts are subject to a major ethical issue involving whether it is ethical to kill a man to save three. Some would argue that when given a situation where at least one person will die, we should try to save as many human lives as possible. Others should state that the value of human life is immeasurable. Who are we to decide if one life is equal to another?…
