Imagine A World Without Martin Luther King Jr.

Decent Essays
Imagine a world without Martin Luther King Jr., the Founding Fathers, or a reality without the protest on the Vietnam War. Had Martin Luther King Jr. or many other civil rights and women's suffrage leaders been truly silenced most of the country would not have the rights they do today. Had the men and women who fought tooth and nail for this country's freedom been silenced none of us would exist as we do now. A reality in which the people of this country were not allowed to protest a losing war and save the lives of their own soldiers fighting on foreign soil, this is not America without freedom of speech. As Martin Luther King Jr. said,
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”

    Justified Bombing at Pearl Harbor. Nearly all of the West Coast navy fleet destroyed. This prepared Japan to make a straightforward attack on the U.S. We were afraid of the many Japanese Americans living on the West coast to help them, considering they’re loyalties were unknown. The decision was made to relocate all of the American citizens with a Japanese ancestry. They were moved to more central America.…

    Freedom of expression is a uniquely American tradition, at least to the extent we have here. Amy Witherbee, a researcher who studies how democracy and censorship go hand and hand said “At the core of censorship is always a parallel belief in the ability of an idea to alter lives and change nations. The challenge is to let those ideas wreak their havoc, and trust in our capacity as the citizens of a democracy to make of the damage something better than what was there before. If, on the other hand, we close down the arguments, retract the controversies, and avoid the challenges, then what we have is not a real democracy, but a nation afraid to lead itself” (Witherbee Par. 12). The First amendment is in place to protect citizens from censorship.…

Freedom of speech is ones right to say what you please without fear of being punished, is among one of the most treasured freedoms throughout America. The founders of the United States government tried to protect our liberty by assuring a free press, to gather and publish information without being under control or power of another, in the First Amendment to the Constitution. As we know, the Supreme Court plays an important role in the subject of free speech and expression, and we need to understand that…

    I first chose the topic of women’s right because, as a young woman in 2016 attending college in the United States, women’s rights are fairly important to me. As I began to look into the topic that I already knew was large and complicated, I decided to hone in on suffrage because I realized it was a pivotal point in the fight for women’s rights and I knew basically nothing about it. This sparked my interest and as I researched I became more and more intrigued and gained an even greater respect for these women who began the discussion of obtaining the rights I enjoy every day.…

    The general profile of the United States soldiers in Vietnam were the lower and middle classes. The working class was the most populated class in the United States at this time, yet this was not the only main reason why the lower and middle classes were the most predominant in the Vietnam War. Prior to President Nixon, the draft system was based on where individuals could get deferments if they were college students or if individuals had connections they could get a medical deferment to not go to war.…

    The number of protesters increases daily throughout the United States as people continue to fight for the abolition of unjust laws passed by Congress. Currently, there are more people who are combating for additional privileges from the government compared to people who are demanding extra protection.

This poll proves how people consider liberty far more important than security. They agree to put their lives at a greater risk in return for an increase of personal…

    Freedom of speech is a privilege all Americans share. A person can state whatever they please, so long as it doesn’t cause a clear and present danger, without government interference. The idea that someone can legally think, be, and say whatever they want is what lead millions of immigrants to form the U.S. back in 1776 and is the same reason people fight for their right to live here today. Thanks to information being so accessible in this digital age, individuals are told that they are allowed and to study and form an educated opinion. This comes with one catch.…

    America is no longer the land of the free. Under the First Amendment, the citizens of the United States are guaranteed many freedoms, including the freedom of speech.

    In my opinion, it is never appropriate for an interest group or social movement to engage in violent protest tactics, but, through civil disobedience, is appropriate to engage in illegal behavior to reverse a harmful policy or change public opinion about the status quo. Engaging in violent protest tactics overshadows the message that interest groups or protestors want to project. The Media will focus more on the actual violent actions of these groups, rather than the message they are attempting to portray. Acting out in a violent way is not always going to give these groups positive attention and recognition; rather, it is going to make these groups look unorganized and inefficient. In the simulation, for example, when Greenpeace, an experienced group when it comes to protest, performs the hotel sit-in, the Media regarded the protestors as “noble” for not causing a violent commotion, and made the G8 Representatives appear as “whiny bureaucrats” when they appeared annoyed at the inconvenience.…

    The Right to Not Be Offended Throughout recent years, the American right to freedom of speech has come under scrutiny from people of different demographics, religious beliefs, and political ideologies. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” According to freeexistence.org, America is 68th in the freedom of speech and religion. It is becoming increasingly difficult to state an opinion or facts without immediately being attacked by people who are “offended” by the statement.…
