Civil Rights

1. Passive resistance is a method of non-violent protest against laws or policies in order to force change or secure concessions; it is also known as nonviolent resistance and is he main tactic of civil disobedience.

Gandhi is one great example of an individual who practiced passive resistance. He believed that violence only provoked a negative reaction. Another individual who practiced passive resistance is Martin Luther King Jr. He was well known for his non-violent protests on segregation and racial

issues.

2. PHOTO1: This picture makes me sick to my stomach. The police officer is treating the black men like they are animals. No human being deserves to be beaten, especially if they are doing nothing wrong. The only reason the police man was beating these two men is because of their skin color. This picture gives a whole new meaning to the word disrespect. 

PHOTO 2: This photo is very dramatic. It amazes me how the police officers just stand there and watch the dog attack the black man. You can tell by the look on everyone's face in the background that they are all in shock. I can not imagine what it would be like to just stand there and watch this man get abused by an animal.

3. I do believe there is some discrimination in our community today. It is not anywhere close to as drastic as it was during MLK’s time, but there are still people with racist and also sexist opinions.  There are a lot of racial stereotypes. For example, there are many jokes about how black people eat fried chicken.  Another example is the word nigger and cracker which are slang terms used to describe someone by the color of their skin. A good example of sex discrimination is politics. It is much more difficult for a woman to get elected than it is for a man.

4. The topic of my essay is gender discrimination in the work force. The way i can incorporate ethos is by stating statistics and making sure I cite them. Also, the way I can incorporate logos is by making a sound argument. Finally, I can incorporate logos into my paper by using details that support my claims.
