You also have the to refuse and resist the government. I think that people now do fight fr what they think is right and wrong.]]> 2017-03-01 14:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157027882 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157028387 In paragraph 2 he is saying that you can either respect the law or you can respect the right thing you should do. He is saying that if you just do the right thing then the law will follow and stand behind you. I think that this would be effective today because if you arent breaking any laws then the government has no reason to shut you down so they will stand with you. ]]> 2017-03-01 14:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157028387 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157029509 In paragraph 5 he is saying that you should stand up for what you believe in. Everyone that was standing up and speaking out was being thrown in jail for it. I think it would be effective to an extent, but it may not change some people mind.]]> 2017-03-01 14:41:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157029509 kaitlin_tow https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157030293 In paragraph 6 he is saying that we all need to break the law at one time to get something done about what we don't like because the government cannot stop us all at one time.

He wanted to change this law because people that would be selling salt would charge a lot more than it was worth because only certain people could sell it and Gandhi did not think that was right, so he marched to the sea and started making salt with all the people that marched with him. ]]> 2017-03-01 14:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157036043 kaitlin_tow https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157310454 Gandhi and Thoreau both got arrested for nonviolent protest against unjust laws. Gandhi like Thoreau got people to break the law in a peaceful way so that the law would get changed.  ]]> 2017-03-02 13:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157310454 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157311570 This shows civil disobedience because when Martin Luther King lost these cases in court he didn't agree with them and organized peaceful protests. He was fighting for rights for everyone and the freedom to be equal. ]]> 2017-03-02 13:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157311570 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157313040 Martin Luther King played a role of leadership for the civil rights movement. He made the speeches and spoke out against the law to fight for what he believes in. He mentions people like Rosa Parks who refused to give up her seat on the bus and was arrested. All of these leaders during this time were just trying to get the law enforcement to see that everyone was created equal and that's how they show be treated. ]]> 2017-03-02 13:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157313040 kaitlin_tow https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157313643 Theses people were objecting to "poverty wages". This Walmart in Los Angeles was supposed to be paying workers 25,000$ a year but this man named Anthony Goytia is only getting payed 12,000$ a year he says "It’s a daily struggle, to make sure my family doesn’t go hungry.” It did make people aware, the CEO of Walmart Bill Simon came out and talked about how many Walmart employees get payed over 25,000$ and how many workers get payed less than 25,000$ a year.]]> 2017-03-02 13:51:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157313643 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157315426 "Gandhi was probably the first person in history to lift the love ethic of Jesus above mere interaction between individuals to a powerful and effective social force on a large scale." King continues, saying, "It was in this Gandhian emphasis on love and nonviolence that I discovered the method for social reform that I had been seeking. ...I came to feel that this was the only morally and practically sound method open to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom." He was moved by Gandhi because he helped open his eyes and find what he was looking for. ]]> 2017-03-02 13:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157315426 carmen_flinchum https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157317456 " I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest. The teachings of Thoreau came alive in our civil rights movement; " He was moved by Thoreau because he stood up for what he believed in, even if that meant breaking the law. Thoreau's ideas moved Martin Luther King and helped urge him to stand up for what he believed in too despite the consequences. ]]> 2017-03-02 14:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kaitlin_tow/coosk9i4ds0g/wish/157317456
