...influence the African American community. Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X two men having experienced different things in their lives held different beliefs and morals and influenced people based upon those things. Martin Luther King Jr., came from a Baptist home with a fairly easy childhood, he was educated when he was younger and attended Morehouse College, an all black college, where he had several role models that shaped his beliefs. Malcolm X, on the other hand, experienced a hard childhood and used drugs and committed other crimes in his early adult years. While in prison he found a father figure in Elijah Muhammad and joined the Nation of Islam. There are many differences between Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X in the way they acted and influenced the African American community. This paper will look to describe their differing views and analyze their actions and their lives. In most cases a person’s childhood has a lasting affect on the rest of a person’s life. In comparing Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X this seems to be the case. Martin Luther King Jr., was born January 19, 1929 and was raised by a strong supportive family. He had a somewhat privileged life and “never experienced the feeling of not having the basic necessities of life.”[1] His father “was a community leader in Atlanta and pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church” and his mother “was a school teacher and an accomplished pianist.”[2] Although King was well off economically he was also...

...Martin & Malcolm & America In this paper, there will be a primary focus on two of the most prominent leaders during the civil rights era. These two leaders are Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The paper will discuss how these extraordinary men made their phenomenal contributions to America by offering to bring about their own political, racial, and social views that were affecting the people of color. Their ability to voice their strong opinions about the injustices that were taking place among African Americans and the oppositions that were before them gave them the durability to prolong the fight for freedom and justice. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X were both men of purpose, dignity, and pride. The ongoing effort they gave for the people and to the people helped them to earn the respect that has followed them for decades. For that reason, this paper will reflect the ways in which both men contributed to the African American culture and the shaping of America in an effort to bring about a change that was needed to move forward. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X had different political philosophies; however, they both went about using different methods to campaign for civil rights. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a champion of non-violent protests and peace marches. His speeches entranced both blacks and whites into action for the civil rights movement. MLK knew that if the blacks worked for peace, peacefully, then equality was inevitable. “What they...

...It is often believed that the best way to give a good claim through writing is through three different individual elements. These elements are ethos, which is the credibility as to why the reader should be interested, pathos, being the emotions of the writer and logos, the logic behind the claim. These three elements combined together can make the writer persuade the reader and make an explicit argument. In the stories “Remarks on the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.” by Robert F. Kennedy, “Letters from Birmingham Jail” by Martin Luther King, and “A Homemade Education” by Malcolm X, all three authors used these elements to get their message across and keeping the reader interested in what they are saying. However, too much of one element can throw the reader off, and a good example of a well balanced use ethos, logos and pathos would be Malcolm’s X “A Homemade Education”. Through the use of these three elements Malcolm made his point and managed to keep the reader's attention. Malcolm’s goal through his story “A Homemade Education” is to show the reader how having an...

...Continuing on with the article the biggest argumentative tactic used by the Author is simply comparing and contrasting the two. Generally she does a good job throughout at comparing the two men at times you get a great sense that they were similar in cause, yet their ideals couldn’t have been further from one another. For instance the biggest argument that Carson uses several times is how differentiated King and Malcolm's backgrounds were. For instance Carson elaborates “While Martin lived through the Depression in relative comfort as the offspring of a successful minister, Malcolm’s family began a downward slide after the death in 1931 of his father—the victim, he believed, of a white racist group”(pg.13). While this method of fighting for...

For other uses, see I Have a Dream (disambiguation). Martin Luther King, Jr. delivering "I Have a Dream" at the 1963 Washington D.C. Civil Rights March. | "I Have a Dream"30-second sample from "I Have a Dream" speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. | Problems listening to this file? See media help. | "I Have a Dream" is a public speech by American activist Martin Luther King, Jr.. It was delivered by King on August 28, 1963, in which he called for an end to racism in the United States. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement.[1] Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed millions of slaves in 1863,[2] King examines that: "one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free".[3] At the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme of "I have a dream", possibly prompted by Mahalia Jackson's cry: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!"[4] In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become the most famous, King described his dreams of freedom and equality arising from a land of slavery and hatred.[5] The speech was ranked the top American speech...

...Black or white, young or old, man or woman, Republican or Democrats, love or hate. These are some of the things that comes to people's minds when they first hear about The Sixties. It changed the world over the course of that time period. During this time period a lot occured, tensions were high, people were segregated, presidents were assassinated, famine, and war. And one of the most important wars in American history took place; the Vietnam war. There are a lot of similarities and differences that I noticed between my generation and the 60’s while watching The Sixties: The year that shaped a Generation. Here are some that I thought were very important and stood out to me. In comparing the sixties and my generation, the more I tried to find more about their differences I came across more similarities. One of the first major similarities, both the sixties and my generation share is about the youth, free thinking, creativity, and expressing. It was the youth that fought for where my generation youth are today. It was their idea and thoughts. And I personally believe that it’s the...

Customers usually compare products or services with their past experience or the experience of their friends or family members before a judgment is made. This is normally how a common man looks at quality issue. 4.1.2 The Oxford dictionary also defines quality as “How good or bad something is” 4.1.3 The other definition and which is very short and common is “Quality is customer satisfaction”. This is defined by J. M. Juran 55 and adopted by ISO – 840271. This definition has a vast spectrum of “Quality” definition as each and every customer has his or her own perception of quality and therefore wide variation in the level of satisfaction. All the latest techniques of Quality Management are designed to take care of this aspect of satisfying every customer for the product or service...

Preface This isn’t really a teacher’s manual, not, at least, in the sense of a catechism of questions and correct answers and interpretations. Because the questions provided after each selection in Rereading America are meant to stimulate dialogue and debate — to generate rather than terminate discourse — they rarely lend themselves to a single appropriate response. So, while we’ll try to clarify what we had in mind when framing a few of the knottier questions, we won’t be offering you a list of “right” answers. Instead, regard this manual as your personal support group. Since the publication of the first edition, we’ve had the chance to learn from the experiences of hundreds of instructors nationwide, and we’d like to use this manual as a forum where we can share some of their concerns, suggestions, experiments, and hints. We’ll begin with a roundtable on issues you’ll probably want to address before you meet your class. In the first section of this manual, we’ll discuss approaches to...
