So first you find your research of the the topic you are looking for and you evaluate your believability. When you are evaluating information, you look at the author and where it is published. Government websites, peer reviewed journals, google scholar, and EBSCOHOST are much reliable sources than any other websites.

    Ideals In my opinion Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and the Civil Rights Struggle of the 1950s and 1960s was an ongoing continuum of Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X’s stories which demonstrating their values, and ideals while showing their comparisons. I believe in the United States they were seen as main figures in the fight for equality, and think the author was trying to show how they got to where they were which included their views. I say this as whenever these figures tend to be spoken about they are not being on good terms because of their different views. Malcolm X the first time they had met had snuck into MLK’s press conference after than greeting him in front of reporters then they casually had a conversation which shaped the civil rights act later.…

    to some extent like Dewey, philosopher Harvey Siegel (1988) believed that critical thinking is the result of action. He held on the conception of two dimensions of critical thinking, stating that a critical thinker is “one who is appropriately moved by reasons” (p. 32). His description, then, includes two dimensions—a reason assessment component and a critical attitude component. The reason assessment component involves the critical thinker being able to understand and put into practice the principles governing the assessment of reasons, where the critical attitude component implies that the critical thinker embodies certain dispositions and habits of the mind. Siegel called it a “critical spirit” (p.…

    One of the most fundamental similarities between these two men, though, was their pursuit of freedom for their people. While both Dr. King and Malcolm X viewed freedom differently, they both alleged their form was the best option, and this belief was combined with their unwavering awareness of racial tension, which both men had from young ages. This search for freedom, for liberation from white supremacy, pushed them to become activists in their communities. They both knew since childhood the way blacks were treated was different and, most importantly, cruel and discriminating. Over time, this awareness led to anger and resentment, which eventually morphed into the ideology they had as adults and as Civil Rights leaders.…

    Young, proud, and bold, these were the adjectives that were used to describe Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X, the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. However, these were also the only similarities that these two shared, because while Martin, a role model who believed in Gandhi, led his people with love and the thought of non-violence in both political and social aspects, Malcolm was a man of the streets, who believed in Allah and tried to advocate changing America by any means necessary. With that being said, both achieved dramatic success in their career, as Martin’s S.C.L.C. soon became a toon for African Americans to voice their opinions while Malcolm’s O.A.A.U. became a powerful political force in a just a short period of time.

    “The Power of One” also demonstrated my improved method of writing my introduction and conclusion paragraphs. I was sure to begin my essay in an interesting way by opening with a rhetorical question. On top of that I introduced the idea of “the power of one” and continued this idea by concluding my essay with it as well. In addition, in “Shift to Reality” I feel my paragraph development was strong and thorough as I examined the depth at which William Golding brings his novel to a satisfying conclusion. On the other hand, I still feel I struggle with sentence structure and awkward wording as shown in my ALS Ice Bucket Challenge essay.…

    I came into this class with some knowledge of the Cold War, but there was a lot I still wanted to learn as I find the Soviet Union fascinating. The Soviet Union was, at least in my experience, portrayed as an evil empire. By no means was the Soviet Union an example of a perfect government, but they were not necessarily the evil empire they are portrayed as. They were fighting a war of self-preservation against the United States who they viewed as their enemy. Just how we were taught that the Soviets were trying to invade us and destroy us, is how the Soviet people felt about us.…

    African Americans play a vitally important role in the United States today, but how can we image how they have suffered countless oppressions for a long time in the twentieth century. Although the Emancipation Proclamation was published for a long time, the genuine equality was not being achieved by countless black people (Goodheart). Some of them were still segregated by white people just because of racism. What we should give attention to is that black people still lived in the bottom of the American society. The society had completely divided human beings into two categories at that time.…
