In Martin Luther King Junior Letter From
Birmingham City Jail open letter king stated " A just law is a man-made
code that squares with the moral law or the law of god". an unjust law is
no law at all, it’s a law out to hurt others and only benefit some. A law is
meant to be an equal understanding which is held liable equally when it has
been broken. even when king was arrested he was still able to get his message
across peacefully without resulting to violence.
They
were able to use education and being civilized at the same time when they were
committing civil disobedience. Both Gandhi and King never resulted to violence,
when surely violence was being used against them. They encouraged their people
not to result to violence. they used words and actions as a way of being heard.
Civil
disobedience doesn’t mean losing one’s temper and going crazy but being able to
gather ones selves and thoughts while using words instead of violence to get
things done. they say "fight fire with fire" but well that’ll just
make things worse one must know how to communicate in order to be taken seriously.
