This boycott was provoked because, an American civil rights activist, Rosa Parks was sitting in a row of blacks on a full bus when the driver ordered her row to stand for a white passenger. Parks refused to stand. Thus, she was arrested. Due to Jim Crow Laws, in the Southern part of America, it was normal…

Non-violence works as a strategy to bring about change because it is morally and strategically superior to any other strategy, and because it works for changes that will benefit all people. Non-violence, as a morally and strategically superior method to bring about change is first seen in Document 1. Document 1 is a letter from Mohandas Gandhi to the English governor in India where Gandhi explains why he plans to use non-violence and how doing so will make British recognize the “wrong they…

Perspective 1: Disobedience One, seemingly contradictory, thing Martin Luther King, Jr was passionate about was disobedience. Particularly disobedience when it comes to unjust laws. This is contradictory due to the nature of King’s work and mission in creating peace and unity amongst black and white individuals. In Letter from Birmingham Jail, he states, “I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one…

My first time doing community service for Academic Service Learning took place on University Service Day. For this day, there were multiple organizations that I could choose to serve. I chose the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Queens. When I first arrived at the club, I was saddened by the condition of the building, the theatre was old and cracking in some areas and the carpet had various stains within it. However, the basketball court was in decent condition. I began to think about the lack of…

I have been volunteering since a very young age approximately twelve years old. The first place being Troxell and Mohr Physical therapy. Then as I got older I got heavily involved in the church and became a youth group leader for Theology of the Body at St. Joachim Catholic church. I would be part of a team who would organize weekly meetings organize retreats for confirmation candidates, The further I got into highschool the more difficult I found it to be to find time to volunteer due to the…

As members of our high school’s Key Club, a community service international group, we pride ourselves in community service and our ability to enjoy the service projects we commit ourselves to. The benefits we reap from taking a part in community service goes beyond the mere hours for a sheet; we gain the morale and communication skills that the “real world” expects us to live up to. However, making community service a graduation requirement would make students dread the act, viewing service more…

I do not believe that all United Sates citizens should be required to to preform at least one year of community service by the time they are thirty years of age. Forcing someone to help when they aren't willing can do more damage than good. If the person does not want to help they shoulfnt be forced to do so. Volunterring comes from the heart of the person, if their heart is not it, it will not be benificial to the people receiving the help. Most people tend to volunteer at churches,…

Some say schools require students to participate in volunteer programs in their communities as a requirement for graduation. There are many different types of volunteer work that students would be interested in. Some types are helping sick people, picking up trash, and helping younger children. Students should be required to volunteer to graduate because it would help the students be a better person along the way, it would also be a good way for students to make friends, and it could help the…

The evidence for this is written across history, from when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle church to when Rosa Parks defiantly sat in the whites-only section of a public bus. Without these examples of peaceful civil disobedience, nothing would change for the better. In the early 16th century, Martin Luther, a devout German monk and professor of theology, visited Wittenberg on church business. It was there that…
