Dear Mr. President,
For the United States we have many holidays commemorating many people. We remember Martin Luther King Jr., our very First President George Washington. I feel we should create another holiday to celebrate an influential and prestigious man. I want to make a day to honor Billy Graham. He is a very kind and courteous man who works hard and has worked hard since the day he started. Billy Graham was born November 7, 1918 (billygraham.org). Since he was born in 1918 he grew up in some of the hardest times in the United States history. He grew up knowing hard work and was willing to work hard for what he wanted. When he was fifteen he became committed to Christ (billygraham.org). He then went to a convention in 1939
The question of whether the law of the land overrides human morality has been a popular topic that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. discusses in his letter titled "The Letter From The Birmingham Jail." King's letter uses both the Rogerian and Classical model to argue that the law of the land can not deem justice or injustice, but rather morality must be the judge.
The Life of Billy Graham Billy Graham is an inspiring evangelist that shared God's word with people all over the world for over 50 years. He inspired and helped many people and has left a legacy of what he did in his 99 years here on earth. William “Billy” Franklin Graham, Jr. was born on November 7, 1918, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to William and Morrow Graham. He was born four days before World War 1 ended.
Two identical concepts can be received in two completely different ways depending on the manner they are presented in. In Civil Disobedience, Henry David Thoreau puts forward his argument that the only way to stop the immoral ways of the American government is by taking immediate action. The same belief is portrayed in a more emotional approach in Letter From a Birmingham Jail, Martin Luther King, Jr.. Although both focus on equivalent concepts, their presentation separates them into two different categories, with Letter From a Birmingham Jail being clearly superior to the other.
Dr. Martin Luther King wrote a letter from Birmingham jail on April 16, 1963. The letter was written in response to his “fellow clergymen,” stating that Dr. King’s present activities was “unwise and untimely.” The peaceful protest in Birmingham was perceived as being extreme. The letter from Birmingham Jail was a letter of grievance to the white clergy, and their lack of support in the civil rights movement. Dr. King explained in his letter the difference between what is just and what is unjust and his reasons being in jail at Birmingham. He believed clergymen are men of genuine good will and that they deserve a response, so Martin Luther king wrote a letter from Birmingham Jail.
'Letter from Birmingham Jail' is, truth be told, a letter composed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from an isolation cell in Birmingham, Alabama. A few segments of the letter were composed and step by step pirated out by King's legal counselor on pieces of paper including, by a few reports, harsh jailhouse bathroom tissue. Vicious supremacist dread against African Americans was so awful in Birmingham in the late spring of 1963 that the city was being alluded to by a few local people as Bombingham.
Letter from Birmingham Jail was a letter written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from a solitary confinement cell in Birmingham, Alabama. Some portions of the letter were written and gradually smuggled out by King 's lawyer on scraps of paper including, by some reports, rough jailhouse toilet paper. Violent racist terror against African Americans was so horrible in Birmingham in the summer of 1963 that the city was being referred to by some locals as “Bombingham”. King had been arrested while participating in a peaceful anti-segregation march on the grounds that he did not have a parade permit. He had been called to Birmingham by one of the affiliates of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a group of which King was president, to help in the protests of the extreme racism present in Alabama. Segregation laws and policies were part of the Jim Crow system of separate schools; restaurants, bathrooms, etc. for blacks and whites that existed far beyond the era of slavery, especially in the American South. Several local religious figures Dr. King had counted on for support simultaneously published a letter entitled A Call for Unity, which was critical of King and his supporters. King 's letter, in turn, identified and responded to each of the specific criticisms that he understands are being made by these men, specifically, and by the white church and its leadership, more generally; however, this letter was also deliberately written for a national audience.
While in jail Martin Luther King Jr wrote an open letter to 8 fellow clergymen from Alabama. These clergymen wrote in a local newspaper about their opinion on the proper way to solve a problem. In their opinion, the clergymen, suggested that the Negro community restrain from doing demonstrations and allow the issue be tackled in the courts. In King’s letter, he explained why he disagreed. He continues by explaining the process taken t organize a nonviolent movement.
This paper is a reflection based on the author thoughts and feeling towards Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Letter from a Birmingham Jail. This reflection are based on a series of question as it relates to the subject or topic of the Letter from the Birmingham Jail, the audience, and classroom lecture objectives. This reflection paper also examines the author thoughts about race, injustices, oppression, hate groups and interactions of how it relates to the field of Social Work. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. discussed different topics on how racial injustice affect not only the communities in Birmingham but the different communities around the United States protesting for changes to the social structure in the society that we live in.

In April of 1963, locked in a Birmingham jail, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation”. In Dr. King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail he accurately displays his distinctive ability to influence public opinion by appropriating ideas from the Bible, the Constitution, and other canonical texts (Autobiography); by establishing his credibility, appealing to the audience’s logic, and invoking the emotional aspects of the African-American plight in this era.
As a response to an unjust proposition from the Alabama clergymen, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” to persuade the people to look things from his point of view. The clergymen wrote that the protests should stop and the problem of civil rights should be attempted as a negotiation, yet they did not specify when they were going to start. King utilizes different appeals to prove that black people should have the same rights as the white people. In his letter, he utilizes logical, ethical and emotional to prove that people have the right to break any unfair laws.
Martin Luther King Jr. discusses the advantages and purposes for his theory of nonviolent direct action in his Letter From Birmingham City Jail. He shows four basic steps that must be taken to achieve nonviolent action. They include 1) collection of facts to determine whether injustices are alive; 2) negotiation; 3) self-purification; and 4) direct action. Each of these steps will be explained as part of King's argument later in this essay. The main purpose of a nonviolent campaign is to force any community to confront a problem rather than refuse to negotiate or face a specific issue. In the letter, King discusses his group's reasons for coming to Birmingham.
The Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr. is written to the injustices of the African Americans by the white man supremacy, and to address the direct actions African Americans were making to change the people’s perspective. The books that have been read in this class reflect the same injustices that Martin Luther King Jr is addressing in his letter. The main point of this letter is to address the direct action being taken by the African Americans and how they sacrificing everything for their rights when only little progress is their outcome. The white supremacy is overruling and the direct action needed to be taken is negotiating with non-violent acts to create a tension between the communities to confront the issues. A non-violent act, such as sit-ins, freedom rides, and marches will create the tension to the white community.
The cultures and traditions of ancient Rome and Greece played a major role in influencing modern day western civilizations, particularly in the practices of art, literature, architecture, philosophy, and especially real-world politics. Today’s impressions on our government as a democratic republic were inspired heavily by both ancient yet fundamental governmental structures. Many of our values such as the inclusion of citizens in the electoral process, as well as a heavily monitored government, stem from both societies, including certain aspects of the judicial system. Our country’s founding fathers have all earned a traditional education. Following America’s independence, they began to formulate their own unique ideas about the new world, all the while learning, adopting, and implementing ancient Roman and Greek ideology. Upon the creation of the United States government, our forefathers included elements of Greek and Roman culture. The country of Greece was originally never a distinct nation, as local cities formed individual political consensuses referred to as city-states. Each one was separated by tumultuous terrains of land and developed their own individual government. Corinth, one of the most powerful cities in Greece, was an oligarchy – a major city-state ruled by powerful political leaders. Some took part in a hybrid form of a republican government, such as Sparta, who at times answered to up to two kings, numerous nobles, and a Spartan assembly consisting of

The earliest experience society has with authority and leadership is within their own family. Often times the running of households is compared to the running of one’s country in the sense of each individual’s self reliance, hard work, and personal responsibility. The driving force behind political differences and beliefs can be dictated back to the way one was brought up. The question of how people can analyze the same issue and draw polar opposite conclusions is often the basis for all theories and methods researchers have proposed. The unbridgeable divide between the Republican and Democratic parties in the recent presidential election support the hypothesis of hidden assumptions and frames that dictate how every individual thinks about politics, all being shaped by personal values. The metaphor of America being one big family is drawn into the fact that many consider families to be governing bodies and governing bodies to play the role of parents within a household, thus drawing the conclusion that governing institutions are families in the greater scheme of things. Researchers have discovered two main family dynamic
