Martin Luther King Jr is Africa American role model that help change the world. He helped make the world a better place. But let me tell you about him. Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American pastor, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African American Civil Rights Movements. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta,Georgia. He had 4 kids, Dexter Scott King, Yolanda King, Martin Luther King III, & Bernice King. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 6, 1968. The greatest accomplishment of Martin Luther King Jr. was being a Civil Rights leader. He played a large role in several boycotts at the time, such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott. He also published several books about oppression. His major accomplishments are ending the hate between the blacks and the whites, nobel peace prize winner, created the southern christian leadership conference to direct the civil.King forms the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to fight segregation and achieve civil rights. On May 17, 1957 , Dr. King speaks to a crowd of 15,000 in Washington, D.C. In 1958, the U.S. Congress passed the first Civil Rights Act since reconstruction. Resigns from pastoring the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church to concentrate on civil rights full time. He moved to Atlanta to direct the activities of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.Martin Luther King Jr. had enormous impact on the desegregation of the United States in the 1960's. He had arguable the largest impact of any civil rights leader of his time. King began his civil rights activities in 1955 when he protested Montgomery's segregated bus system. The protest was started after an African American bus passenger by the name of Rosa Parks was arrested after failing to give up her seat to a white passenger. After the arrest African Americans encouraged others to boycott the Montgomery bus system. They formed a secret group called the Montgomery Improvement Association and elected King there leader. Throughout Martin Luther Kings speech he uses emotional appeal to relate to the audience, draw the audience in, and bring forth an understanding of segregation and discrimination. " I am not a mindful that some of you have come here out of much trials and tribulations. Some of you have come from fresh narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest-quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality." Martin Luther King, Jr. also had logical appeals. He used logical appeal in his " I Have A Dream " speech. " I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

In the future, an oppressive government maintains control of public opinion by outlawing literature and maintaining a group of enforcers known as "firemen" to perform the necessary book burnings. This is the premise of Ray Bradbury's acclaimed science-fiction novel Fahrenheit 451, which became the source material for French director François Truffaut's English-language debut. While some liberties are taken with the description of the world, the narrative remains the same, as fireman Montag (Oskar Werner) begins to question the morality of his vocation. I did not like the movie because it was filmed in the old days. I don't like movies that's was filmed in the olden days. Also the music is futuristic. One example is when they had gliding trains.

A dystopia is a community or society that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. " The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. " This is a line from Ayn Rand. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages. Equality 7-2521 is the classic Ayn Rand hero. For one, he's a little too good to be true. He's so superior to everybody else, in every way (body, character, mind), and he seems to have no weaknesses at all. The government repressive, its corrupt, & abuse its citizens. The citizens have no freedom, no individuality, and no technology, i think the the hardest to live without with is the lack of freedom. Lack of freedom to have a career. The easiest one to live without with is technology. I don't use technology that often. All men were brothers, they had the same experiences, & there's shouldn't be a conflict. If i had total power and authority over a country, the type of utopia i would do is make everyone equal. Everyone should have a opportunity to educate themselves. Have a school young boys & girls. It would work! Some negative side effect if some kids took the education for granted.
