    1. In the first few paragraphs of Martin Luther King Jr.’s, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” he specifically addresses the local clergymen, lays out his purpose for the letter, and creates an authoritative and well-organized tone. He makes his goal of wanting to prove he does belong in Birmingham to create racial equality clear by stating, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice anywhere” (800). Throughout this entire article King addresses the local clergymen and the white moderates; however, in this particular portion, he speaks directly to the clergymen. King establishes credibility with them when he states that he is “serving as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference” (800).…

His idea of the “right relationship”, however, relies in part on the traditions of Abrahamic religions.…

    • 5 Pages

    The United States became a more democratic society after the Civil War through the liberation of African American slaves and development of racial equality and the increase of mobility and empowerment of women. Both of these aspects were previously treated with grave inequalities, and after the Civil War each group steadily gained more power and freedom. A democratic society must include freedoms for all citizens regardless of their origins. The definition of a democratic society is very debatable due to the vague meaning that can be interpreted in a multitude of ways.…

    We all remember that one day in fourth grade when the teacher asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Immediately, our imaginations started churning, thinking over the endless possibilities of jobs, and always trying to outdo the imagination of our friend sitting across the table. Some kids shouted out a firefighter, a nurse, a priest, a teacher. Yet, there was always that one kid who thought that he was the best. He would proudly say, "I want to be rich.…

Furthermore, I am going to examine how a just libertarian society would function, and consider the value of justice in comparison to the political virtues of liberty, and equality. Libertarianism promotes justice in two ways; it ponders the moral duties we have to others, but also the moral constitutional duties we have. At the crux of libertarian ideology is the belief that humans, as autonomous beings, have self-ownership, and a right to individual liberty. This motivates libertarians to believe that a minimal state is preferable to the present type of government, but also affirm that…
