The Words of Martin Luther King

Claim-”We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.”(83)

–”…but we still creep at horse-and-buggy pace .”(86)

Agreement- “To long as our beloved Southland been bogged down in a tragic effort to live in monologue rather than dialogue.”(85)

–”Abused and scorned though we may be, our destiny is tied up with America’s destiny.”(97)
Disagreement- “You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham “(83)

–”How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being non conformists. “(96)

Recommendation- “I doubt that you would so quickly commend the policemen if you were to observe their ugly and inhumane treatment of Negroes here in the city jail.”(98)

–”We know though painful experiences that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor: it must be demanded by the oppressed.” (86)

Many people believe that children should be seen and not heard but nowadays the the web is strewn with 12-13 year old girls posing provocatively. Since when has this evolved into the norm that no one dares to question. We allow our children to do what they want because our parents may not have let us but it is irresponsible and reckless to condone this type of behavior. Children receive negative images about how they should look and it should be our prerogative as role models to depict proper behavior.

  Hey–
  I think that you touched on a very important topic. Also, I feel that you conveyed your point of view on the issue very clearly. However, within this topic do you think that there are any possible pros? I agree with you in that the negative images depicted by these teens is bad, yet are there any counter arguments to that claim? Great post!
