Discuss whether there is anything that you feel strongly enough about to take part in illegal action (civil disobedience). What would it take to motivate you? What would prevent you?

Question

I never had to take part of any illegal action dealing with the (civil disobedience).
I know that is probably was other people who had deal with something like this but not me. I was never into a situation where I needed to take illegal action. When I was growing up if I know that I had a right to take illegal action I would have done that but when I was in taking to get back into school because of my bad grade I had a teacher who will like to put his hand on my leg and play with it but I really didn’t knew any better I let him but I knew in my mind it was wrong so I told my teacher that I don’t want to go to his classroom anymore because I was scared of him. I never told my mom anything that had happening to me. If I knew that was an illegal action I would have went through the entire step, as I support to but I was afraid to tell anyone what had happen to me. ”In disobeying unjust laws, King (1958) developed this strategy: Active nonviolent resistance to evil, Not seeking to defeat or humiliate opponents but to win their friendship and understanding, Attacking the forces of evil rather than the people who happen to be doing the evil, Willingness to accept suffering without retaliating, Refusing to hate the opponent, and Acting with the conviction that the universe is on the side of justices (pp.101-107).” (Schaefer, 2008, p. 216).

Answer 1

Patricia -- you have some great ideas in your answer. However, it's hard to read because of numerous typos and grammatical mistakes.

Please read your answer slowly out loud to make these corrections.

Examples:

know that is probably was other people Do you mean "was" or "what"?

who had deal with something Don't you want to insert "to" before "deal"?

If you repost your corrected answer, we'll be glad to check it.

Answer 2

In the future, if nobody is available to proofread your work, you can do this yourself. After writing your material, put it aside for a day — at least several hours. (This breaks mental sets you might have that keep you from noticing problems.) Then — as Ms. Sue indicated — read it aloud as if you were reading someone else's work. (Reading aloud slows down your reading, so you are less likely to skip over problems.)

If your reading goes smoothly, that is fine. However, wherever you "stumble" in your reading, other persons are likely to have a problem in reading your material. Those "stumbles" indicate areas that need revising.

Once you have made your revisions, repeat the process above. Good papers often require many drafts.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
