Civil Disobedience: Martin Luther King Jr.
Disobedience causes the right things to happen, it is like the key to good things, well sometimes. In past historical events, there was many issues involving disobedience; rebellions were a major impact of the happenings too. For example, Rosa Parks, she refused to give up her seat on the bus, so people started boycotting buses and due to that, blacks were able to get rights. Even though Rosa Parks had to serve jail time, she was the main cause of those rights today. Rosa Parks was not the only person who did something like this and served jail time as well, Martin Luther King Jr. He fought for equality, rebelled in order to accomplish what he started and believed in. For the blacks and the whites to be one nation, to be mixed all together
in the country, so his kids and others’ kids could go to the same school without being made fun of about their skin color.
Progress was made by people or groups of people who disobeyed, rebelled against laws, rights, or whatever they believed or thought was not right. Due to disobedience, things change, laws change, and rights were added. Today, kids and adults still plan to make a difference, by protesting against what our new so called “president” believes in, hoping to make a difference not only for them, but others as well, maybe not now, but later. So, yeah history is repeating itself once again. Rebellions, protests and disobeying of laws and rights are still happening.
Historical events are reflective today in so many ways, if it were not for those people and their actions, we would not be who and what we are today as a country. Women would not be able to work, own a business, and not even join the navy or army like they can today. We would be nowhere near equal rights. Blacks and whites would not be together, kids of all different races would not be attending the same school. When disobeying, most likely the outcome would involve consequences, but yet again outcomes can change depending on situations. Disobedience is again, the key to what you believe in, what you want to do or be. Like Oscar Wilde once observed and said, “It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion.”
