Have you ever felt that none of your thoughts matter to the world? That you just want to express yourself, but you're being hold against.Thoreau, Gandhi, and Mandela felt that way. They couldn't express themselves or if they did they would be put to jail. I'm going to write about their stories and what we they went through. A man named Henry David Thoreau was a very hippy person. He thought the war was wrong. He refused to pay taxes to the American government because of it. However, it was…

“ Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This quote can mean so many different things, it’s just dependant on how the person interprets it. When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated those two sentences it was during one of his equality speeches, he believed that this quote would be an inspiring eye opener to the racist and discriminating people. He wanted to show people that hating one another…

What does the government really tell me? Is Area 51 real? Was 9/11 planned by the government? What’s the mandela effect? How does it happen?

In South America in the 1980s and 1990s there were strong antiracist movements that made the country better and at the same time freed Nelson Mandela who would go on to be president of South America.

Along with Mandela, there have been other activists such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr. to others who spoke and worked on equality among the…

people agree with what these people marched for or not, no one can say that this is not a current issue in the US. It is my hope that if laws are passed that violate women’s rights that these protesters will be inspired by people such as Parks and Mandela and help abolish any discriminatory laws against…

Document 3 is an excerpt from a book following the life and actions of Nelson Mandela where he explains why he uses non-violence as a way to bring about change.

Thoreau, Gandhi, and Mandela were really important leaders that did a lot during their time and made an enormous impact on their societies. This three pacemakers were people that believed in themselves and made an enormous impact on them and their countries. For many people they might not look like leaders, but for rebels that went against the law just because of their beliefs, but in reality they made the government less powerful, abusive, and controlling.

nonviolent is Nelson Mandela.After a long battle, he made the comment: “it would be wrong and unrealistic for African leaders to continue preaching peace and nonviolence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle” (Mandela). After many unsuccessful attempts at bringing change to their system,…

Another cause of the Mandela Effect is suggest reasoning. One of the most famous examples of the Mandela Effect can be explained with suggested reasoning. This theory is that the last name has changed of a family of bears that every child should be familiar with, the Berenstain bears- or is it Berenstein bears. The name of the actual bear family is Berenstain, but growing up some may remember it as Berenstein, well to explain this sudden change is suggested reasoning. The suffix -stein is far…

Nelson Mandela is a great example of perseverance he spent 27 years in prisons for his cause “in prison, he became an inspirational leader and symbol for his people”(Stutman).

Walt Disney too is an example of perseverance that changed the…
