He is taking a clear perspective for the future and his vision of the future is linked to everyone in the country regardless of race and religion but especially to the black people. He emphasizes again and again his big drea https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/261928507 2018-05-18 14:08:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/261928507 MLK already enters the scene with the audience's respect and trust, but further engendered by evoking the example of his dream for his children - something with which all can identify. He wonderfully stokes, through repetition and vivid imagery, the audience's desire to live in the world of MLK's dream. https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262109743 2018-05-19 15:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262109743 https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262131203 The speech matches the four provinces of influences. 

The message is powerful and touch some cornerstones of American society, as liberty and equal rights. 

MLK is a preach, respected for his religion authority, seen as an example. 

The audience is every Americans citizen. He seems to invite even the racists and conservatives to giving hands and join his future vision.

The timing made the speech so powerful because of the escalation of racial conflicts and fight for civil rights.

Despite the difficult times he proved his courage in front of all, he was authentic, confident and passionate. MLK had clearly in his head a positive vision for the future of USA. He was able to motivate, involve and bring together the people, not just the crowd that was in front of him but also the entire “world” towards his dream (the shared purpose).

The combination of the 4 providences of Influence is real and evident in this speech. The communication skills of MLK, the power of the content of his message. The audience of this speech was much more vast than the present crowd. His words were listened by everybody, regardless colour, religion, position in the society, etc…

The aim of his speech is clearly understood by all and he is very positive by saying "we will" and "we can". The use of words like dream, brotherhood, together is also very significant. He wants to transmit his long term and respectful dream by linking American values to it. It's such a great example to follow. He stood up and talked for generations and generations to follow and see where we are now, we have achieved it.

In the context of this course module, the 4 Provinces of Influence are highlighted: 1.The message: The content of the message has a clear vision of what the future could bring if people from all over the country could understand that “All humans are created equal.” 2.The Source: Martin Luther King, besides the fact of being a black man, is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience. He is a reliable source. 3. The Audience: Millions of people from not only the US, but the entire world were able to listen to the speech and create awareness of such important manner. 4.The Timing: The speech was given on August 28, 1963. During this decade there were many protests of the civil rights movement that would end in a wave of activism by students, marginalized communities, and women, so it the speech was given at the right moment. https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262451640 2018-05-21 17:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262451640 "I Have A Dream" https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262522418
The words he kept repeating, which just so happens to be the title of the speech today, stay with the listener. It speaks to Americans who at the time had this "Dream", albeit "American Dream". He was able to meld the two together and make all races try to think as one people. His choice of words in describing the racist governor in the south at the time, who probably claimed the African Americans were ignorant and the the reason for enslaving and segregating them, were words of an educated person. He saw his audience as all Americans, and used inclusion to unite everyone against the evils of racism. ]]> 2018-05-21 22:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262522418 The Dream and the Reality https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262546321 Martin Luther King was able to, in his speech, give a vivid approach to the problem at hand - segregation. His description of the reality at the moment, with discrimination and antagonism originating from white people, was juxtaposed to the description of his dream in detail, where he saw a day this segregation not only would not exist, but also where it would not even be thought of. This vividness he used was inspirational because he led the imagination of all people to see what he was seeing. Through this vividness he was able to touch not only peoples' minds, but also their heart. This adds to the strenght of his message and wins people over to his beliefs, not only understanding them, but deeply caring for their success.]]> 2018-05-22 02:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262546321 MLK https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262572734 It's humbling to have to review this famous speech from Martin Luther King. 
The words are extremely vivid and juxtaposed against a vision. His words are harmoneous and somewhat unexpected given the history. The theme is repeated and memorable. The message is simple, clear and consistent.  Great timing, authenticity and poise. Remarkable speech .]]> 2018-05-22 06:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262572734 Inspiration beyond time and borders https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/262632742 This speech was truly an inspirational speech, and MLK was clearly ahead of his time. where he cleverly outlined an inclusive vision full of hope and optimism which resonated with the entire audience here and beyond. It is a clearly well thought out speech and fits in nicely with the 4 provinces of influence as mentioned in this module. Still leaves me inspired every time I hear that speech, as it is still relevant today and perhaps eve more so.

The message is clear, on point and repeated throughout his speech keeping everything in context. The inclusiveness represented by the many mentions of everyone standing together in brotherhood and referencing many places around the south.  

]]> 2018-05-23 15:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/263070088 There are a couple of factors that made Martin Luther King’s speech so powerful and influential. First of all, the ultimate faith in what he believed and what he proclaimed. You can’t influence people if you are not 100 per cent sure you are right. Not even a single doubt is allowed. Martin Luther King was a really progressive person for his time and believed in racial equality and human rights. His message was clear, simple and consistent: you can’t judge people by the color of their skin; all humans are created equal and have the same rights. Second of all, even though MLK’s speech was ahead of his time, the society was ready for a big change. It needed a push like this to hear, understand and accept the message of truth and common sense. There was a growing part of progressive people in the society, ready to make the right change. MLK led those people, inspired them and made them see the better future in the world with no segregation and discrimination. It made it possible to start a movement that could not be stopped any more – the movement towards freedom and hope.MLK is a great example of a leader who was not afraid to speak up and stand up for the values he believed in and the world he wanted his children to live in. He made it possible for everyone to believe in his dream and open up their minds hearts towards a future with no segregation or discrimination. https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/263124817 2018-05-23 18:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/263124817 Inspirational Speech as a leader of this civil movement https://padlet.com/emeritusdelivery_zoom/wgex4kxontqu/wish/263436910 The main reason today why US are the most dominant country in the world is because of respect each race and ethnic backgound of where we came from. MLK is definitly one of the highligh success of this move as a leader, as a person. He has a very ouststanding charter to be a leader of rish taker, always in the front of everything. He has the knowledge and belif to be success and lead his team to achieve what he dream of.
