“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout out ugly word of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love. Where evil men would seek perpetuate an unjust status quo, good men must seek to bring into being a real order of justice.” The quote above was said by Martin Luther King Jr. and people may disagree or agree because we all have the right to a opinion in America, but the quote seems to be true. That people are going to hurt other people but the good people will come and help them rebuild, bind and bring a real order of justice to wherever they go.

Also shows love and compassion towards his surroundings. But they are able to take care of themselves first then help others that will take what the person helping did or gave them and be inspired to do the something of the same, but not abused what they did to help them.
For example, there are some kids now and days that will not do anything if they don't get payed to do the job be it helping their grandparents or their mom and dad which is not right. They won't just help someone just to help them they want money in return which in some cases is alright but they should understand if they help that person some time down the road they will get something from it. The person may help them if they are in trouble down the road and help them out of a hole. So there is no reason for them to be get pay to do chores that the kids should be doing on there own for no pay.
In conclusion, a good person help others, is compassionate and loving toward each other, and will seek to bring real order of justice. They will also bring a happiness wherever they go and may live because people fought for them to live the life they

    A Letter from Birmingham Jail was written on April 16, 1963 by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,( on the margins of newspaper) but is still relevant today. Referring back the reading from last week on why God allows evil, MLK understood what it meant to be a Christian and what the journey looked like. He understood that as Christ suffered, he would too. The most captivating part was that he was okay with carrying the gospel of freedom at any cost as lines 38-44 declare. As we discussed on Thursday, Swinburne explained that people that do evil should matter as well.…

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said ,“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” A quote spoken in the 1950’s, consisting of many different meanings can be looked at in multiple ways. To me, it means that fighting can’t solve every problem, even if it is faster and the simple way out. Some writing pieces that can relate with this statement are gun violence in the United States, Night by Elie Wiesel, and the history of segregation and racism in the United States.…

    When most people hear the term “moral saint,” they think of the common “goody-good” or a “perfect child”. As defined by Susan Wolf in her essay “Moral Saints”, a moral saint is a person whose happiness “lie[s] in the happiness of others, and so he would devote himself to others gladly, and with a whole and open heart”. Although this may seem like a normal and amiable trait, the entire meaning is to consume oneself in the advancement of others out of pure altruism while simultaneously to ignore the improvement of oneself and to forgo enjoyment of all forms. Moral saints put others first in all aspects of life and their sole purpose in life is to serve others. They do not attempt to improve their own lives or to indulge in any form of recreation,…

    I know that my country is not perfect and it is something that I simply cannot deny. What I did not know was that the spread of hate, racism, and discrimination are still as relevant today as it was in the 1960’s. In his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King, Jr. writes, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” His quote recognizes that if we allow inequality, racism, and discrimination in any area of our country, it opens a door for people to believe that it is acceptable and therefore, spreads across our country. Being a student in California and more specifically the Bay Area, I never felt the need to worry about harassment from other students or even strangers considering our school and area is richly diverse.…

    In her essay “Where Have the Good Men Gone?” from the Wall Street Journal, Kay S. Hymowitz discusses the idea that “pre-adulthood” is a disease that is sweeping this nation allowing young adult men to sit back, play video games, and ride along in this limbo stage between adolescence and adulthood while women are out striving to have well-rounded careers and live their lives not defined by marriage or a family. Modified from its original version in Hymowitz’s book Manning Up: How the Rise of Women Has Turned Men into Boys, she uses statistics and pop culture references to back up her argument while still relating it to readers of all varieties. Her use of ethos, logos, and pathos in this essay solidify her argument, despite sometimes coming off as demeaning towards the male gender.…

    Much of Contemporary Literature finds itself between ‘something’ and ‘nothing.’ The ‘something’ which gives purpose or meaning, but the ‘nothing’ negates the ‘something’ and then draws these characters back into the nothingness of modernity. Both “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” written by Flannery O’Connor and “The Girl Who Was Plugged In” by James Tiptree Jr. focus on on the “too” much, or a cataclysmic event that in turn draw the reader and characters back to the nothingness. Essentially, these texts stress that horrific events are going to occur without any purpose or reasoning to explain the “why” of it.…

    A backbone built on honor, code, and loyalty defines the “chain-of-command” mentality that associates with the military’s public persona. No clearer is this than in Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men, bringing the judgement line of a military order and a gradually rationalized act of unethical action to the forefront. Commentary considered by Phillip Zimbardo’s “The Stanford Experiment” and Herbert C. Kelman and V. Lee Hamilton…

    In “The Ethics of Compassion”, The Dalai Lama explains how we should strive for fulfillment of having compassion towards everyone and not just the people closest to us. The Dalai Lama himself has not accomplished such a task, “Most people, including myself, must struggle even to reach the point where putting others’ interests on a par with our own becomes easy” (Dalai Lama). It takes time to be able to have compassion towards people you don’t even know, but it must be understood that everyone wants the same thing, happiness. The Dalai Lama successfully connects to the reader using examples that the reader can relate to in their lives that appeal to logos and pathos.…

He believes in fighting violence with nonviolence, something that is thought to be ineffective for civil rights. King also says, “…nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time…”…
