Eleanor Roosevelt And Martin Luther King Jr.

The causes which Martin Luther King Jr and Edward Koiki Mabo were fighting for were similar in that they both wanted equality for races which were being mistreated.

I. Introduction. There are many remarkable personalities in our history, which made revolutionary changes in women’s lives. Two of them were Margaret Sanger and Eleanor Roosevelt. They contributed immensely to change the women’s fates and lives and to position them equally with men. Margaret Sanger was born in 1879, in Corning, New York; she was sixth of eleven children of Michel Higgins, an Irish Catholic stonecutter, and religious Anne Purcell Higgins. Her mother went through eighteen pregnancies and died at the age of forty-eight. She studied nursing in White Plains and worked as nurse in one of the poorest neighborhood of New York. In 1902 Margaret Sanger married architect and radical William Sanger. She didn’t finish her studying. Margaret gave birth to three children. In 1912 Sanger’s family moved to Manhattan. All her life Margaret Sanger was a courageous, dedicated and persistent American birth control activist, advocate of eugenics, and the founder of the American Birth Control League. She was first woman opening the way to universal access to birth control.

Martin Luther King, Jr. and Lyndon B. Johnson demonstrated unimaginable leadership skills in an effort to accomplish their respective agendas. Through the use of moral leadership, King would rise to become the head of the Civil Rights Movement by means of civil disobedience and nonviolent resistance. MLK began as a Baptist Minister, but after seeing the difference he could make in the world, decided to stand up for what he felt was right. Johnson, on the other hand, used political leadership in order to make a name for himself as President of the United States. LBJ was willing to do whatever it took to accomplish his goals, even if it meant going against the Southern Democrats who had elected him to political office. One of these risks

We all hope to have, and understand, the characteristics that an amazing leader possesses. There are many great leaders, spread throughout our history. Malcolm X, George Washington, and Martin Luther King Jr. are just a few people who were blessed with what it takes to step up and become true leaders. By example, some of the other fantastic qualities of leadership also make up two remarkable people: Nelson Mandela and Suleiman the Magnificent. They exhibited many leadership-like characteristics, like them being feared yet admired by their people, or people from other countries, or the fact that they were also very intelligent, and tactical.

Self-respect is a difficult topic to define. It is often addressed and illustrated throughout fiction and history, yet the majority of people find it difficult to define in a way that isn’t shallow. Some might argue that self-respect is irrelevant and should not play a hand in the choices a person makes. Despite what others may say, it is an undeniable fact that individuals should always work to protect their personal pride. A person should always make decisions in an effort to maintain self-respect because it helps him to make good decisions in the future, preserve his own personal identity, and earn respect from those around him.

Our history and struggle has brought us to where we are now. We have been through a lot as a country to help make our nation the independent and free nation that it is today. We are where we are now because of the sacrifices that were made in the past. Many people fought and gave up their lives for the many rights that we are lucky to now have. We all owe them so much because without them, we would not be what we are today. Many people like Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, and John Brown fought for a cause that they thought was worth fighting for. No matter what it took, they kept their eye on the ball and fought for what was right. Now, I could sit here and tell you all the people who have helped shape America into the wonderful country that

A true leader is someone who people willingly follow and listen to as well as someone who has the ability to influence and motivate others. An outstanding example of a great leader is Jackie Robinson. On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson shocked the world and changed not only the history of sports, but changed America. Facing the criticism, ignoring the racial slurs, and following his true passion, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball.

We are all pretty familiar with Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr., both being significant historical figures, fighting for different ideas. During the 1700s’, Jefferson was growing up in a rich white environment and privileged to the extent where he is later classified as an American founding father. A very different background compared to the majority of the colonies’ population at that time and two distinct relations shared between them. Unlike Jefferson, Dr. King was raised by a faithful family and a religious environment while being targeted in a discriminative and racist atmosphere, resembling the expected stereotypical lifestyle of an African American male during the 1900s’. Unlike many other African Americans, King achieved the near impossible in getting as far as an education; the pressure in even attending a segregated school was overwhelming for a lot of African American individuals. Since we looked at both very distinct lifestyles, we can probably guess how and where the motives behind Jefferson’s “Declaration of Independence” and Dr. King’s I Have A Dream” came about. Comparison and contrast wise, what are the propositions Jefferson and King have for the topic of equality? Does Jefferson’s perspective on equality contradict or corroborate with Dr. Kings’? But when you really get down to it, do either ones’ perspective have similar traits to what kind of society we are living in or is it too irrational to justify?

“The first lady is an unpaid public servant elected by one person - her husband.” Lady Bird Johnson. First ladies tend to be looked upon as simply public figures or as support for the president. Not many recognize the sacrifice first ladies make for their country, or the work they have been volunteered to carry out. Their jobs are much more than living in the White House, selecting the proper china for certain company, or memorizing the names of the many wives of certain foreign leaders. Much on the contrary, the first lady has political significance and each has made their mark on society. Five examples are first ladies Hillary Rodham Clinton, Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosalynn Carter, Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson, and Jacqueline Kennedy.

Individual social responsibility is a moral belief and a duty that individuals should perform to safeguard the interests of future generations and fulfill the needs of present society. Injustice is a situation where a person or group of people is treated unfairly due to factors such as race, gender, or religion. Being indifferent and looking the other way to an injustice is unacceptable. Today, we are blessed with many freedoms and liberties. Even though most of these freedoms seem innate to our lives, most have been earned through sacrifice and hard work. Two ordinary yet influential figures in history who were not afraid to be socially responsible and broke the barriers for equality and humanity were Susan B. Anthony and Elie Wiesel. I am

Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas were engaged in seven different debates across Illinois. At these debates Douglas was bating Lincoln during his speeches with the topic of race, then Lincoln would have to defend himself. A week after these debates Lincoln was welcomed to Dallas City with a banner that read “Equality.” According to Miller, Lincoln was arguing in favor of “Negro Equality,” and was arguing that he saw slavery as a monstrous injustice and a huge moral wrong. He was against slavery in the territories but Douglas did not see slavery to be an evil. A senate seat was at stake for these two men and race was a key focus of debate. Douglas’ main argument was that slavery should be permitted to spread to the territories while Lincoln disagreed. Lincoln was arguing for black humanity, because of his compassion of human beings and natural rights that African Americans should have.

Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Bedford Forrest both influenced the the United States in different ways and continue to shape our future. Abraham Lincoln influenced the United States more effectively and positively than Forrest. Firstly both men started with similar upbringings:, they were born into poor families, started a business, and lost a parent at young ages. Their educations could not have been further apart as Lincoln was a self taught lawyer and Forrest received no formal education. They quickly diverted paths as young adults when Lincoln went into politics and Forrest killed two men and stayed in the world of business.

The speaker of the first speech is John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States. President Kennedy was instrumental in improving relations with the USSR and improving civil rights in the US. He is seen as one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.

Not all leaders are famous like Martin Luther King, most leaders are ordinary people; you can walk down the street and run into someone and not know that they are a very powerful leader. I personally know of a good leader that is an ordinary person; my father. Although some people believe that leaders are born and not made, I believe that anyone can become a leader if they have enough courage and are thick skinned. There are many words that people come up with when they are asked to describe what makes a good leader. The most popular characteristics used to describe a good leader would be a good listener, responsible, and decisive. When you think of what makes a good leader you should also ask what kind of education they have and what

Throughout history, many political leaders have transcendental ideas and beliefs, such as Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela, but there are many that do not conform to transcendental ideas, such as Alexander Hamilton and Joseph Stalin. It can also be noted that those who have transcendental ideas are 20th-century thinkers and politicians while those who are not transcendentalist thinker are 18th-century politicians. People such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela had their political career after the nineteenth-century transcendentalist movement, while Alexander Hamilton had his political career prior to the movement. Joseph Stalin is different, his political philosophy he follows was created at the same time as the
