King's Dream
I selected Martin Luther King Jr., Why? Because I admire and appreciate the passion he held for equality and helping others. Martin Luther King Jr's vision made a massive impact in our world. I recall being introduced to King’s celebrated "I Have a Dream" speech, within my high school years; which in return, provided me with a better understanding of the impression he left concerning civil rights. King, held a dream in which race did not dictate the interaction between each other. The dream promotes equality for all mankind because he believed that we are all created equal. America, today is not parallel to King’s vision or any other place in the world, but there is some validity in saying that his vision influences us all in one way

    Summary Of King's Dream Remains An Elusive Goal

    From watching the documentary White People as well as reading King’s Dream Remains an Elusive Goal, I feel that racial differences should be known, but people shouldn’t be discriminated against. In King's Dream Remains an Elusive Goal the Pew Research Team states the results of their surveys polls, in which, blacks are mostly in the minority in several topics. Pew Research team says, “ They are also more likely to say that blacks are treated less fairly than whites by police, the courts, public schools and other key community institutions” (627). To back up that statement they quote, “For example, seven-in-ten blacks and about a third of whites (37%) say blacks are treated less fairly in their dealings with the police” (629). From being a high school graduate, marriage rate, median household wealth, home ownership etc, blacks are always in the minority even by the slightest bit.…

    unit2.3 communication and proffesional development with children, young people and adults

    To enable you to establish a respectful relationship with children and young people you need to maintain your professional distance at all times and remember you’re there to educate them not to be their friends. You must let the child know you’re interested in them and make time for them, each and every one of them. It’s important that children don’t see you having favourites, treat them all the same and respond to them and listen to them when they require your attention. Make sure they know that you’re in charge and they have rules to follow and if not there is consequences to follow they break these rules. Also we need to make sure we are always approachable to a child. Another way of establishing a respectful relationship is if they no they can trust you. So try not to ever make promises that you could not meet if circumstances changed. A child needs praise and encouragement in order to build their self-confidence, if you make them feel good about themselves then they will respond well to you and you will maintain a respectful, professional relationship with them. It is also important that you make them feel valued by listening to what they have to say and not rushing them or cutting them off mid-sentence, and also maintain eye contact, which lets them no they have your full attention.…

    Martin Luther King Jr.: An Inspirational Hero

    Martin Luther King Jr. once said “ In the recesses of my heart, I am fundamentally, a clergyman, a Baptist preacher.” During a time of inequality and a time of need, Martin Luther King Jr. became a leader, a regional sign of hope, strength, and courage.

Martin Luther King Jr. is an example of a courageous…
