What does King mean when stating, “...freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama for organizing widespread protests and he was criticized by some white Clergymen for what they viewed as the wrong methods to go about seeking equal rights.

King then replied in the ''Letter from Birmingham Jail'' where he stated that if citizens do not take direct action, there is a chance that they could wait forever to get their rights because freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

The logic here is that people who are doing the oppressing are benefitting disproportionately from the system and so have no vested interest in changing the system and helping the oppressed so they never voluntarily give freedom to the oppressed.

If the oppressed want equal rights and freedom, they must demand it through direct action because if they do not, they might never get it.

Last month, Sunny Steps shoe store ordered 80 pairs of sneakers and 200 pairs of sandals.
This month, they plan to order the same ratio of sneakers to sandals, and they only plan to
order 20 pairs of sneakers.
How many pairs of sandals will Sunny Steps shoe store order?

Answers

Answer:

50

Explanation:

divide 80 and 200 by 4

you get 20 and 50

An ordered pair of numbers a and b, represented as a / b, is a ratio if b is not equal to 0. A proportion is an equation that sets two ratios at the same value. Hence 20 pairs of sneakers and 50 pairs of Sandals.

What is Ratio Proportion ?

For instance, you could express the ratio as follows: 1: 3 if there is 1 boy and 3 girls (for every one boy there are 3 girls) There are 1 in 4 boys and 3 in 4 girls.

A ratio in mathematics illustrates how many times one number is contained in another. For instance, if a dish of fruit contains eight oranges and six lemons, the ratio of oranges to lemons is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).

The comparison of amounts is what constitutes a ratio. Using the same piece. Divide the first amount by the second to get it. The quotient a/b is referred to as the ratio between a and b if a and b are two values of the same kind and with the same units, such that b is not equal to 0. In contrast, proportion is described as a comparison between two ratios.

[tex]80 sneakers : 200 Sandals \\ 2 : 5\\Hence \\20 sneakers = 2\\then 5 will be \\20/2*5 = 50\\[/tex]

Explain the aphorism "envy is ignorance", from “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Answers

Answer:

The meaning of "envy is ignorance", from “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson means that an individual who is envious prevents his own personal development. Due to envying others, the person becomes ignorant of his own potentials and wishes to be like the other person he is envying. So, this means that the individual that is envious of another person is ignorant of his own potentials. Emerson rebuked and refuted the idea that man wanted to conform to his envy as he repeated the phrase, "trust thyself,".

Explanation:

In "Self-Reliance", Emerson reveals that what is genius is to believe what is actually true for you in your heart is actually true for all men.  Emerson posits that every individual is made by God is unique with his/her own work to perform. So, trusting one's self is genius and is like fulfilling God's wishes.  

For Emerson, he believes that the importance an individual attach to himself is paramount. What actually matters is the integrity of one's mind and not imitation or not envy.

Put summary of “I Have a Dream”

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

King begins his “I Have a Dream” speech by declaring that this occasion will be remembered as the “greatest demonstration for freedom” in United States history. He then evokes Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and references the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, a document that gave hope of a better future to many African Americans. Despite the abolition of slavery and the time that has since passed, Black people in America are still not free; the aftershocks of slavery are still felt through segregation and discrimination in the United States.  

King refers next to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, describing the document as a “promissory note” whose promise has not been fulfilled for African Americans. Therefore, King says he has come to Washington to chide the United States for “defaulting” on this promise in regard to Black Americans who have not been granted life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The bank of justice, King says, surely still has money in it, and there is a debt to be paid to Black Americans.

King goes on to declare that the time has come to “make justice a reality” for all in the United States. He describes the situation as “urgent,” stating that the growing discontent among Black Americans will not dissipate until equality is won. There will not be peace in America until African Americans are granted their rights as American citizens. Though the situation is urgent, King stresses that his fellow African American protesters should neither resort to violence nor blame all White people, for there are White civil rights protesters among them in the audience, fighting alongside them. The struggle for equality must continue until police brutality is no longer a concern for African Americans, hotels no longer turn them away, ghettos are not their only option, and voting rights are universal—until justice is served.  

King acknowledges that protesting has been difficult for many. Some of those present have recently been in prison or have suffered other persecutions. He promises that their struggle will be rewarded and encourages his listeners to return to their home states filled with new hope. King famously declares, “I have a dream,” and describes his hope for a future America where Blacks and Whites will sit and eat together. It is a world in which children will no longer be judged by their skin color and where Black and White alike will join hands. King calls upon his listeners to look to this vision of America to give them hope to keep fighting and asserts that when freedom is allowed to “ring” from every part of the nation, the United States will be what it should have always been, and justice will be achieved.

Even though they are good friends, what is one argument seen in the play between Henry and Waldo?



Play: The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail

Answers

Answer:

The one argument seen between Henry and Waldo was over Emerson's lack of activism.

Explanation:

'The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail' is a two-act play written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. The play is based on the night when Henry David Thoreau spent in jail for refusing to pay poll-tax. Thoreau believed that the government will use these taxes to fund in Mexican-American War, which was sternly opposed by Thoreau.

Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson have a very good friends, yet there was one scene in the play, when Henry and Waldo argues. It is in Act II, when Henry protests against Emerson's lack of activism. Henry protests that Waldo has great influence in public and thus he should use this influence to protest for the release of slaves like Williams. Henry accuses Waldo of not practising what he preaches. After this argument Waldo agrees to give a speech.

Summarize how Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Rosa Parks may have agreed and disagreed in their activism. Find a specific example in the texts we've read (at least one quote from each) that displays their views and then analyze how those views are similar and different.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Hello. You did not provide the text to which the question refers, which prevents the examples and textual evidence from being accurate.

Although the three people mentioned in the question above fought for civil rights and an end to racism and discrimination against blacks, they had different opinions on how this fight should be carried out.

Rosa Parks was in favor of civil disobedience and the refusal of blacks to submit to what whites imposed on them. However, Rosa did not engage in violent movements, nor did she blame them, for her the purpose justified the means, provided that the rights of blacks were taken care of.

Martin Luther King advocated a peaceful struggle, without violent methods and cherishing the safety and peace of all involved. He believed that freedom and rights are not fought for by provoking violence, as it destroys everything good that can happen.

Malcolm X, on the other hand, defended an armed struggle, where civil rights would be enforced in the country, through not only civil disobedience, but violence for those who tried to prevent blacks from gaining their rights.
