Civil Disobedience: Unjust In The Government

509 Words3 Pages

Civil Disobedience is the unjust in the government, and I for one believe unjust should be demolished. Martin Luther King was influenced by the writings of Henry David Thoreau to non violently take action when the rights of the citizens are in jeopardy. Therefore, civil disobedience can change society for the next generation. Disobedience and rebellion bring about social improvements in society because it will improve the lives of God’s children.

Henry David Thoreau argues that men must always do what they think is righteous, non-violently, especially when they think an aspect of government is not working. Thoreau believes that people should be ruled by conscience and that people have the right to overthrow the government once they corrupt …show more content…

He began speaking out against the injustices toward colored people whom have been the crippled from segregation and discrimination. During the 60s, colored people were forced to ride in the back of busses, were forced to stay apart from white people, and were commonly disrespected as the words “you are inferior” repeatedly beaten into them by the white society. Because of segregation, there were different schools, water fountains, restaurants, stores, and housing areas in which the white people had the most pleasant items. King attempt to coax the point on how equal rights can’t be modified by people obeying laws; his belief of fracturing certain unjust laws will change the society by having equal rights for the colored people. Therefore, movements and protests started to erupt in Alabama. Martin Luther King presented “I have a dream” speech which shattered in millions of people's views about the treatment for centuries of the colored society, during the speech he mentioned the check that symbolizes the opportunity of freedom and justice is due and if it’s not given then there would be no peace in America until given the right to vote, shake hands with all God’s children. August 28,1963, King’s peroration helped put civil rights at the top of the list in the U.S. and concluded Civil Rights Act of

  • Comparison Of Civil Disobedience And Letter From Birmingham Jail

    699 Words  | 3 Pages

    In his essay “Civil Disobedience,” Henry David Thoreau asserts that the government is not needed and must be disobeyed for the sake of the people. Over a hundred years later after Thoreau published his essay, Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” similarly shows the need for the disobeyment of the government. Thoreau asserts that governments are not necessary, and must be dissolved. While King follows a similar ideal, he believes that the government is inherently good, but that some of the laws passed by the government are cruel to people. While they are both appealing emotionally and ethically, King’s is more sound in argument and portrays a more practical way of civil disobedience.

  • Similarities Between Thoreau And Martin Luther King

    Martin Luther King, Jr. and Henry David Thoreau both argue for the right to refuse to obey certain laws for the purpose of influencing government policy. They fight for this right to disobey laws if there is social injustice in their society. Both King and Thoreau have the same ideas on civil disobedience, but they execute them differently. Thoreau laid the groundwork for future readers for the concept of civil disobedience and tells his audience to take action and to rise up against the corrupt laws that are being made. King took this concept and used it to transform the laws that were against African Americans, which were insufferable, and to show that civil disobedience should be used to free them from the intolerable acts happening around them.

  • Thoreau's Impact On Civil Disobedience

    1168 Words  | 5 Pages

    The government's flawed state can be corrected by the action of an individual. Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience heavily reinforces this idea by presenting novel concepts regarding the role, responsibilities, and options of individuals, as they pertain to government, throughout the course of the text. The text was written in 1894 during the time of the Mexican American war when the US government, and the people it represented, found itself in a turbulent, uncertain state. Thoreau’s mission was to inform other transcendentalists and civilians in the United States about the actions they could and should have taken against government when unacceptable forms of rule arose. Although many Americans believed achieving reform was impossible through the actions of individuals, Thoreau’s belief was that independent and just strides could be enough to make considerable change; this becomes clear when Thoreau says, “It is not as important that many should be as good as you, as that may be some absolute goodness, for that will leaven the lump”

This all relates correspondingly to civil disobedience, because these people spoke out to stand up for what is morally right and to make a point to America, and that it was their obligation to put America’s best interests first. Thoreau wanted to make a powerful statement and stand-up for what he believed was deserved, he believed paying the poll tax was wrong and he wouldn’t do it because he did not believe in it.

As demonstrated in Antigone, this is depicted by the daughter of Oedipus, who disobeys Creon’s law for the greater good because of the laws unjust nature. In Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau, a naturalist, promotes this concept as well through his philosophical standpoint of the flaws of the government.

    Nearly 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, African Americans of the Southern States still inhabited a starkly unequal world of disenfranchisement, segregation and various forms of oppression, including race-inspired violence. “Jim Crow” laws at the local and state levels barred them from classrooms and bathrooms, from theaters and train cars, from juries and legislatures.

  • Summary: The Case Against Civil Disobedience

    1290 Words  | 6 Pages

    People's justification to engage in civil disobedience rests on the unresponsiveness that their engagement to oppose an unjust law receives. People who yearn for a change in a policy might sometimes find themselves in a dead end because their “attempts to have the laws repealed have been ignored and legal protests and demonstrations have had no success” (Rawls 373). What Rawls says is that civil disobedience is a last option to oppose an unjust law; therefore, providing civil disobedients with a justification for their cause. Civil disobedience is the spark of light that people encountered at the dead end and they hope that this spark of light will illuminate to show that an unjust law should not exist at all.

    Civil disobedience is a form of nonviolent protest that involves breaking the law to challenge unjust policies or practices. The term civil disobedience was theorised only in the 19th century by Henry Thoreau, although such forms of rebellion have existed for as long as injustices, and, until there are, I strongly believe that civil disobedience should be implemented to demand change and justice. Whenever certain rights are threatened, I think everyone has to rise up to protect them, because, as T. Jefferson stated: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty”. Civil disobedience is one of the ways citizens can organise their resistance and, throughout history, it has proven itself successful many times; however, not everyone agrees
