Whether you are coming from the lowest of ranks, or even the highest. In fact those who started with nothing created the biggest of changes. For instance Riff herself coming from the lowest of decks being a filthy and a female, the supposed creatures of World shaker, helped to create peace and equality with the upper decks, and managed to create an unforgettable revolution that changed everything. The theme of the essay does not just imply on the text itself, individuals in our society today created immense change.. To give an illustration of what this essay is trying to say, looking at the case of Malala. At the time Malala was fifteen years old girl, when she shockingly got shot because she was fighting for girls education, luckily she survived and became one of the world's biggest inspiration, until this day Malala is still fighting for girls education and doing sensational change.Malal came from a poor family, starting off with nothing fighting for her beliefs and equality between men and women seemed like an ambition that could never be accomplished but eventually it was, and she was able to create the change she wanted for herself and many others like…

“The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the…
This says to me that in order for a person to change they have to first become aware of themselves and how they perceive and understand themselves in relation to the world.…
In our humanity, violence is a great flaw. Violence is the reason why we humans caused suffering to this planet and to each other. Greed, revenge and envy are 3 of the 7 deadly sins that are most of the time expressed through violence. But at the very beginning of the sins, we started it through our anger that we cannot control. For example: revenge is caused by anger, envy is jealousy and greed can be caused by fear. Fear is an emotion that is used as basic survival mechanism, but has also proven that it can lead to an act of violence. The Bet by Anton Chekhov, the Hobbyist by Fredric Brown and Lock and Key by Rush have shown great example that emotional human behavior is one the greatest flaw of humanity.…
This statement was in response to his participation in a non-violent campaign march in a town that still had many problems with segregation. He explains that he was asked there because of organizational ties, and that he was there because of injustice. He also brings up that the demonstrations were in response to a meeting they had previous with city leaders where promises were made and then broken. He goes on to explain the situation and the need for direct action so that it can lead to negotiation. He also brings up an idea that there is a difference in laws and how they are used. This difference is referred to as "just" and "unjust." Laws are unjust depending on if they restrict people unfairly, or if man uses them to restrict other people unfairly. He gives blame to the white moderate who is happy living with a negative peace and not willing to have the disorder to gain a positive peacefulness. He gives examples of injustices in the past, such as Christians being willing to face hungry lions versus submitting to certain unjust laws of the Roman Empire. He says that society must, "protect the robbed and punish the robber." He also brings up the example that what Adolf Hitler did in Germany was legal at the time. Just because it was legal, didn't…
Paragraph 5: “You know that we deserve better and we are better than that. And for a chance at a better and more hopeful future, you built bridges some of you never thought could be built across all kinds of differences -and then you crossed them.”…
“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal.” All throughout history black have been mistreated. Whether it was slavery in early American history or segregation until the mid 1900’s. In the past, blacks were always being treated with such a condescending manner. Beyond question they have never received their God given rights of freedom. Martin Luther King Jr. was on a mission to give blacks the freedom they deserved and have been waiting for all throughout time. King was the leader of the nonviolent civil rights movement. While incarcerated in Birmingham jail King wrote a letter to eight clergymen (priest or minister of a Christian church) to get them to join his nonviolence movement. King utilizes allusions, anaphora, and pathos to convey his disappointed yet hopeful tone to explain why a nonviolent movement is necessary and attempt to persuade people to join him.…
It also tells of how people often wait on others to take action instead on doing so themselves. He says this is because we are afraid to make our voices heard and afraid that someone will get their feelings hurt. He also says that when we do complain, we shouldn’t do so in a calm voice like you are scared but in a bold, demanding voice that lets the person know that you mean business. He says that Americans are not comfortable taking actions in difficult situations because we live in an age of technology where we rely on machines and computers to do things for us, but in earlier times, if we needed something we got up and did it.…
People willing to risk their lives for a cause are the main factor that can push a movement to success. An example of a group of ordinary people that had a profound impact on the Civil Rights Movement is the Greensboro Four. The Greensboro Four were students at North Carolina A&T that facilitated sit-ins at the Woolworth’s store “whites only” lunch counter. They were refused service and were asked to leave, but instead of fighting back or leaving, they merely sat at the lunch counter and waited to be served. They knew that they would not be served, but for the sake of making their point known they remained seated until the store closed.…

This article, “The RU-486 Abortion Pill Should Be Available to Women”, was written by Laura Fraser in 2001 for the Greenhaven Press. The issue involved with this article is whether or not the RU-486 abortion pill should be available to women in the U.S.. The conclusion Fraser came up with was yes, the RU-486 abortion pill should be available to women in the U.S., and for plenty of reasons. For example, if mifepristone becomes available, it will remove political and practical barriers so women can get abortions and physicians will not have to perform complete abortions. Also, 54% of all…
Doctor Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech will forever be known as one of the greatest speeches in history. Its flawless wording persuades listeners to join him in his fight for what he believes is right; the fight is, however, not physical but moral. He fought for what he believed in, and helped African Americans gain rights in a society that often denied them access to education, opportunity and wealth. In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, Doctor King states that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” This ideology was put into action when he refused to sit while other African Americans in Birmingham, Alabama were being targeted for bombings and racial attacks by the whites in the town. Socrates spread his intelligence by conversing with individuals in a one-on-one situation where the individual was questioned about the truth in what he believed in. He proclaimed by precept and example a standard of moral conduct above that which prevailed among the recognized leaders of the society in which he lived. In “Crito”, Socrates states “what we ought to consider is not so much what people in general will say about us but how we stand with the expert in right and wrong, the one authority, who represents the actual truth." In saying this, it demonstrates his belief that through nonviolent action one can prove himself to be right or wrong, regardless of what society thinks. Both written in settings of jail…

I am a firm believer that one person can make a whole difference. All actions have a beginning and an end. The beginning starts with an idea followed by an action which gathers momentum to form a movement. Martin Luther King had a dream and started with actions to realize his dream and people followed him to make the dream come true.…
