When there is wrongdoing in humanity correction is vital. This idea is well presented in “First They Came...” by Martin Niemoller, “Courage in Denmark: Resistance to other Nazis in WWII” by The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum From The Holocaust Encyclopedia, and “The Worst Sin” by Joshua Salik. These sources all show the importance on how to act when faced with unfairness. They show people who help ones in need and how they’re treated compared to how someone who doesn’t. The sources all have their own story but lead back the same point.
“First They Came…” by Martin Niemoller is a poem about the Holocaust. It shows how he never spoke up because what was happening didn’t affect him. He didn’t think it wasn’t important to stand up for …show more content…
This is a story of the 7 chambers of hell, with chamber 1 being a bad chamber, but still the best of the 7, and where the smaller sinners go. Chamber 7 was the worst chamber, it was where the worst sinners of all go. In the story sinners are presented to God and he would choose which chamber each sinner should go. It shows a thief being sent to chamber one (Part 9), a liar being put into chamber 2 (Part 25), and so on so forth, until the last sinner comes in. When God asks what the final sinner had done in part 55 there was a one word answer, “Nothing.” (Part 56) God was puzzled and questioned, “Then why is her here?...” (Part 57) It was explained that doing nothing is the worst sin in Part 60, “This guy saw horrible crimes and did nothing to prevent them.” also “He saw bigotry and did not fight it.” God later replied, “..This is the worst sin. He belongs in chamber 7.” (Part 61) This is a perfect example as to how you should always help when possible. Not necessarily saying you should lend a hand because if not you’ll be ”put into chamber 7”, rather showing that not speaking up is a horrible crime and even though it’s not enforced by law, it will still be …show more content…
They all gave examples through different stories and plots as to why you should never let injustice go unbothered. Although all sources used this point well, that doesn’t mean the idea is confined to these stories. There’s prejudice and discrimination everyday that goes unnoticed, but it isn’t until someone speaks up that it is fixed. The Black Lives Matter movement helps prove the statement. Everyday people of color were treated with inequality. They were paid less, stereotyped, and even were killed just because someone assumed they were harmful just because of their skin color. It wasn’t until 2013 that people started speaking up. It started due to an innocent life of a young african american man that was taken by a police officer, other people from across the globe started to speak up to get equality. Though nothing is perfect, through this movement people were finally listened to and things started to get better. The BLM movement is proof that even if it’s not you being harmed, you should speak up and let it be known what is happening. It’s important to not let problems stir because soon it will be out of your control, don’t stand by when you see
