Martin Luther King's Slideology: Chapter 9 Change Your World

Decent Essays
The piece of information I read in Slideology was quite insightful. Chapters 2 and 5 are very crucial for anyone preparing a presentation. It's all about the creative process. Using what I learned from the Slideology chapters, I'm going to work a little harder and finding a more creative way to present my idea. Everyone is always afraid of criticism. But, in reality that criticism is almost mandatory when it comes to brainstorming an idea. Personally, I enjoyed Chapter 9 Change Your World much more. Especially, when they explained how Enron's presentation ruined some employees lives. Compared to how Martin Luther King's speech/presentation changed many people's lives forever. It's always refreshing to learn more about MLK's vision as well.

    One thing I found interesting about this reading, was how King opens his chapter with the genealogy of the “mystical” and exposes epistemologies of Western blindness and assumption. He believed that the western study of religion largely depended on Enlightenment. IN some sense, Orientalism reflects the political power relationship between the western civilization with Asia where the west dominates and maintains authority over the Orient (or in this case the East). The reading even mentions that according to Inden, the “indological discourse transforms Indians into subjugated objects of a superior knowledge” (King). This suggests that the oriental discourse is more a sign of power than a true account of the Orient.…

    In an appearance Thursday on CNN's "New Day" to discuss health care and President Trump, controversy arose when I said this: "When I was a kid, President Kennedy did not want to introduce the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular, he didn't have the votes for it, et cetera. Dr. King kept putting people in the streets in harm's way to put the pressure on so that the bill would be introduced. That's what finally worked." I was doing the appearance via Skype, which doesn't allow me to see the faces of those I am speaking with. But suffice to say, both host Alisyn Camerota and fellow guest Symone Sanders were astonished.…

    “Three hundred years of humiliation, abuse and deprivation cannot be expected to find voice in a whisper,” and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the champions of civil rights in America, certainly did not speak with a whisper (King 1). The scene in 1968 Memphis, Tennessee was one of dismal drudgery for its black citizens as the civil rights movement made the arduous trek toward equality. Enter King, renowned for his exhilarating speeches and outspoken prominence in the movement. He flew to the aid of the protesters in Memphis and delivered what would be the final speech of his timeless ministry. Speaking to participants in the civil rights movement in Memphis, King hopes not only to motivate and inspire the gathering of black protesters but also to send a clear message to the citizens and government officials of the US that…
