Discrimination And Unjust

To be more specific, in the 1960s of the Civil Rights Movements, the law of “separate but equal” is a fair and both White and African Americans have equal stuff, but it is not of the same quality meaning that during that time, White Americans have better quality items such as bathrooms, books, and teachers while African American have lower quality items, but it was “fair”. This, then, led to African American engaged in civil disobedience in order to change their situation as well as to change society to become a society where both White and African Americans coexist together. Thus, there is this ironic situation where protesters are being civil disobedient but it is due to uphold and amend the law for the common good of the nation with a diverse population. Furthermore, protesters engaged in civil disobedience knew of their consequences, which according to the source “7 Arguments Against Civil Disobedience”, shows how the protesters respect the system of the law, but still seeks to change the law for the better knowing the consequences can be dire such as having a criminal record which can be a scarred for life. In the case of the

People of color would go into restaurants the laws prohibited them from going in and sat down, to protest that there should be no segregation. While breaking these laws they put themselves in danger and the ones around them in danger. In the end the peaceful resistance to the segregation laws did in turn accomplish the change in laws and created three new amendments, Although they did put many people in danger including themselves because of their actions. I do believe that “We the People of The United States” (United States Constitution preamble) have a say in what our government does and we do have the right to overrule the government if its power becomes too great. I also believe we should do so in an order that obtains the laws, because they are put into place for a reason even if that reason is hard to understand. My opinion would be that although peaceful resistance has been positive in history it has also been negative, and within a free society there are many ways of changing a law without breaking any. American citizens are educated on ways to change laws and they should go about doing so legally without breaking any

As Moisés Naím, contributing editor to The Atlantic, describes, “The fervent political energy on the ground is hugely disproportionate to the practical results of these demonstrations”. The issue with protest today is quite simply it happens so often. When the immediate reactions to outrages that happen frequently today in places like Ferguson, Charlotte, and others, is to immediately protest, over time these protests seem to lose their significance. Even when the issues they bring up are legitimate, the age of social media where everyone has a soap box and a story to tell means the shock value protests used to have in Dr. King’s day has all but disappeared. The loss of that shock value hinders any ability to communicate a message, making disobedience and protest a less viable option for effectively causing social change. As a platform for communication increases in frequency and decreases in uniqueness, its viability to actually deal with issues such as racial tension decreases exponentially. Given today’s environment, therefore, civil disobedience appears to have lost its efficacy, as it is now unable to effectively communicate its message, and thus may have far greater difficulty in impacting free society in a positive

Yes, this scenario is a reportable injury. It is a reportable injury because Karen Kite was outside of her jobsite when she slipped and fell.

Despite the massive amount of controversy caused by the peaceful protesting of laws, it has been an essential part of numerous positive changes in American society today. Without the use of peaceful protest, Women and blacks would still be considered as “less” than white men, or they would have had to resort to more drastic measures in their efforts, which would have made their fight for equality that much harder.

This is another reason why peacefully resisting the law is a positive thing to a free society because it gives an example on how to lead properly and gain enough respect to be heard. In more recent times, there has been another civil rights movement in the American Society. What the people are angry about now is the police brutality towards minority groups across the nation. The "Black Lives Matter" movement was sparked at people began using their voices, but in the wrong way. The American flag is being burned, National Anthem disrespected, and innocent police officers killed. This is also getting widely televised, but not for the same reasons the peaceful protests were in the 1960s. Back then, protesters were not doing any harm to show exactly how they were being treated, which eventually did not continue because no one felt threatened or the need to fight back. Now protesters are doing a great amount of harm and all it is doing is worsening the sole issue instead of making it better. Today's protesters are being hypocritical and therefore it makes people not want to support them or even listen. If they want peace, then they need to provide

Martin Luther King Jr. and fellow civil rights activists took the chance for a peaceful resistance. But, the protest was halted because of it being "untimely." That unfair judgment was stated in a time of separation and discrimination upon color. In the 21st century, you would think that that judgment would not be thought of or implied in a different statement. Well because of contradicted action of law enforcement on peaceful protests, leads to protests becoming "untimely." Without the moral principles for the difference of color and identity. Peaceful protests can't be positive when a officer of an opposite race is brutally attacking an innocent African-American child.

I chose discrimination and prejudice for my multicultural paper, because I feel that discrimination and prejudice is the main reason for all the hate in the world. People are discriminated against because of reasons such as race, ethnicity, religion, looks, sex, sexual orientation, class, and other ridiculous reasons. I feel that if discrimination could be eradicated, then this world would be a peaceful place to live. Discrimination has been plaguing this world since the beginning of time. I am sure there was prejudice as Homo sapiens started interbreeding with Neanderthals. I could picture Homo sapiens parents telling their children to stay

Peaceful protests is often the only way to create a positive change. Martin Luther King Jr. in “ A Letter From a Birmingham Jail” explains the difference between a just law and an unjust law, “[a]ny law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.” The laws in America that segregate and discriminate against African Americans are unjust because they are dehumanizing. In King’s definition, unjust laws promote digression and just laws promote progression. That through peaceful resistance just laws can create a

Martin Luther King Jr., one of the most well know peaceful protesters in American, and perhaps the world, once said that "somewhere [he] read that the greatness of America was the right to protest for rights," I strongly believe that to be true, because thanks to his peaceful protest African Americans now-a-day get to live with the equality that they deserve, and that Martin Luther King Jr. could only dream of. Another example, will be one of the most known acts of civil disobedience, an act executed by Rosa Parks. In December 1st, 1955 Rosa parks refused to give up her seat to a white male, something that at the time was against the law, which resulted in her getting arrested. That simple act of protest led to the "Montgomery Bus Boycott," in which "African American refused to ride the city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, to protest segregated seating." The boycott lasted a total of 381 days, and resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ordering " Montgomery to integrate its bus system."In conclusion, peaceful protest is never a waste of time, if anything it can last a whole

When injustice threatens the livelihood of which American values should stand, people have rightfully grown to fight for equal rights that should have already been bestowed upon them. Over the past few years, there has been a rise in the mention and attention towards peaceful protesting regarding human liberties. Matters involving the pursuit and acceptance of identity and necessity of rights is beginning to prevail as the new norm. People who live in a free society are obligated to speak their minds and to spread justified, true beliefs; a free society is based upon the proof of equality that people of all kinds are structured upon. Within a free society, peaceful resistance and protests positively impact the people, communities, and future

Peaceful resistance to laws can positively impact a free society; however this needs to be studied on a case- by- case basis. For example, several nights ago at the University of California at Berkley, there was a conservative speaker that was scheduled to speak but he was interrupted by protestors that were protesting his speech. They would not allow him to speak because his speech was not aligned with their beliefs. Due to this act of violating the laws that protect his speech, he was not able to share his message with his audience. This is a study on how activism can and does look allot like total intolerance of others. This brings me to what I feel is one of the most argregous acts of civil disobedience in history.

Life is full of laws, unjust and just. But what makes a law unjust? Is it just discrimination or, could it be more. People have always been treated differently depending on race, whether you know it or not there has always been discrimination in our society. We have laws and business practices that supports discrimination known and unknown, these laws that unjust laws are practiced on a daily basis. One way to define an unjust law is one that shows favor to group or another. A philosopher named Robert k. Fullenwider believes the only way to fix this is not by making new laws in order to reverse the damage that has been done. On the other hand martin Luther king Jr believes that we need laws in order to right the wrongs unjust laws of the past.

In our society in the 21st century some protesters seemed to have forgotten the words of some of our greatest leaders of all time. Martin Luther King Jr., an advocate for non-violent protests stated in Letter from Birmingham Jail “Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever.” King also stated “The Negro has many pent-up resentments and latent frustrations, and he must release them. So let him

Such acts, however, lead to dismay; other begin to base violent acts off non-violent ones leading to the loss of power bestowed upon a free society. Unfortunately for free society the rights of the first amendment are no longer intact, those citizens who peacefully rebel against the government often face “police violence, mass arrests, infiltration, surveillance, and the criminalization of protest itself.” Even the ACLU has teamed up with the STAT to enforce the rights awarded to free citizens in our Constitution, something our ancestors fought incredibly hard for. No matter the type of protest, free society faces cruel punishments. Specifically, in Portland, a member of free society was peacefully protesting the 2016 election, before being shot by a 14-year-old boy. Although the resistance to the government was peaceful in nature the outcome still initiated a member of “free society” to be injured. President-Elect Trump has based his campaign on the deportation of immigrants even those who are her legally. He intends to “build a wall” the protestation of such intentions do not benefit those members of free society who are impacted by the idea. Free society usually does not benefit from protestation but rather faces the penalties of those
