Martin Luther King Observation

Decent Essays
I would consider Martin Luther King to have questioning and observation skills based on innovations identified by Dyer, Gregersen and Christensen. With questioning, it is an innovator that asks questions that will create new connections, directions and possibilities. Martin Luther king Jr. wanted to find ways of creating a difference. Martin Luther King Jr. also discussed the situations with people, he studied his mentors and he listened to his followers so that he can come up with ideas to create a better possibility. During that time, there were a great deal of things that Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to change. By doing so he made an agenda by having questions from the community and receiving questions from his followers.

    From not being recognized as a human, being sold as livestock, to being freed and given back humanity, to be treated as less than what you deserve and are worth, the Civil Rights Movement was a step into change. Wanting to improve the lives of all African- Americans in America, looking for the rights they deserved given to them by the Reconstruction Amendments, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X wanted the same thing. Searching for the same outcome but having two different strategies of getting what they wanted. The use of religion, protests, and violence were a few of the ways that both leaders conducted the civil rights movement. Even though they had different backgrounds and methods , they both had a major part in the improvement of the African- American life.…

    Although I have read and analyzed this letter previously in my studies many years ago, reading this letter at this time in my life was far more profound this time around. It gave me the feeling that I was reading it for the very first time. I was completely moved emotionally but extremely impressed by the factual and biblical examples that encompassed the entire letter. I knew that Dr. King was a highly passionate and intelligent man, but the factual component of the letter appealed to my reasoning and logic. I believe in quality for all based on my emotions, but what I have learned most recently in an Ethics class is that emotion alone is not a sufficient basis for deciding what we should or should not do.…

    Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the best interpreters of the Socratic tradition of philosophy because of how he used Socrates' meanings of philosophy in his Letter from Birmingham City Jail. King Jr. not only stated great key points of Socrates ideas throughout the letter but he also had many of the same beliefs as Socrates. However, one can argue that King Jr. mostly defended a racial problem throughout the letter and Socrates faced the facts about philosophy and what he believed to be just, but King Jr. was also using philosophy to show that a law can be just in the eyes of people but really at the same time it is unjust. He used Socrates theories and questioning as a wakeup call to all the people in America; through philosophy he showed…

    In Martin Luther King, Jr., quote he was stating that if we don’t modify the problems in the world, that matter, they will become worse and eventually we will end because we didn’t do anything about it. An example he would have applied to this quote is that african american people don’t get treated fairly, and he wasn’t silent about this matter and now it changed. I agree with his quote for the reason of, our world now will be filled with horrific events that happened in the past, because no one could stand up and fight for what they believe in. One national or worldly issue that matters to me is, the government won’t legalize marijuana in Texas, my grandpa has many pains in his back and he takes pills for that and if they legalize marijuana,…

    In the introduction to his book, Why We Can’t Wait, Martin Luther King, Jr., a civil rights activist and minister, explains to all Americans why blacks can no longer put off the fight for their civil rights.

Employing imagery, King explains the lack of opportunity and poverty of these children, representative of all African Americans. Additionally, he uses these children to describe the impact of black people in building America, contrasting it with the injustices they are facing.
