Education

Wednesday in class we did some  brain storming for the upcoming 3rd essay. We come up with some good topics. I believe this brain storm will help me chose my topic and it will actually make it easier for me. 

The Meeting

The Meeting, was a short play that focused on the gathering between Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, during the African-Americans Civil Right Movement to discuss on the issue. Both civil rights leaders were a prominent figure to the black community and played huge roles. Although Malcolm X and Dr king approached the situation in a different ways, they  were fighting for freedom and equality.

Malcolm X supported the idea of self defense against the white folks that suppressed his people.For him it wasn't about being  violent toward your enemies, rather just standing up to them and defending your honor. He didn't see the point of being nice to the people who hated him, because he believed they weren't going to change. From his point of view the black people should do what ever it takes to get their freedom by all means.

The opposing side of Malcolm X was Dr King; who was also important leader of the time. He didn't agreed with  the idea of aggression because, he believed that "you can't  fight violence with violence". Dr King Desperately wanted to show people how loving their  enemy is the right thing to do according to his faith. "My faith teaches people to love  their enemies and that is what i must do" that was his main Principles therefor,  he was a firm believer of  love and advocated peaceful and ,non violence movement.

So in summary,  the play shows the distinct point of view's of Dr. King and Malcolm X regarding the Civil Rights Movements and how they weren't able to agree on the same  principles.

Captial punishment

I just read the death in Texas and it very sad. it is written by Steve Earle about his inmate Jonathan Nobles. Jonathan was sentence to death penalty for the crime that he committed but he was a changed man when he died. He truly regretted the crime that he committed even though it is too late that he cant go back to change it.He was able to change due to rehabilitation so the author is arguing instead of the death penalty we should try to change their minds. in this case Jonathan was good example if we still have he might be able to tell us how to get others or we could have learn from him.

Shooting

The article shooting is about the VA Tech school shooting.obviously the history is sad but its even worse than nobody is doing anything about it. The author is arguing that we need to have gun control which i totally agree with. If we keep allowing people to buy gun then the crime rate is going up. In society  where violent is every where adding gun will just increase the problem. like the author said when this kind of massing shooting occurs in other countries they were able to act on it therefor they  reduce the crime. I understand in U.S.A they have the "2nd amendment that allow to bare gun" but it is going out of control  and innocence people are getting killed specially kids, so we need to have gun control.

Brainstorming

I like brainstorming in class because it will help me develop my topics and gives me good idea about what to wright. Hearing different ideas and diverse thought helps me write well argumentative paper.
