Violation Of Laws Dbq

The Torah, the Tanak, the Hebrew Bible, and the Pentateuch. No matter how you say it they all mean the same thing. The Torah is the foundation of Judaism: the most sacred documents. The word Torah can mean numerous things. It often simply refers to the T in Tanak. It is most commonly translated to mean “ the law”. There are five books that make up the Torah. These books are referred to as the Five Books of Moses: Exodus, Genesis, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The books of the Torah tell the Israelites a story. A story that begins where we begin, and ends before the introduction of the Savoir. It is often questioned, who the author(s) of the Torah is (are). For this question there are generally two main hypotheses: Mosaic Authorship and the Documentary Hypothesis.

Nonviolence has exactly the opposite effect. If, for every violent act committed against us, we respond with nonviolence, we attract people’s support. We can gather the support of millions who have a conscience and would rather see a nonviolent resolution to problems.” (Chavez 1). Chavez compares non-violence to violence to show why non-violence is a safer and more humane way of solving problems within society.

Chinese philosophies, like Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism, were brought in by the Chinese to help implement a strong and fair governing system in order to keep the citizens of China. They would use the different ideologies and find a similarity in all of them in order to keep together the empire. With Daoism, the government would put their trust in the people to self govern themselves and thought that political involvement and education were not needed. Confucianism would revolve around family values and order in the empire. Finally, Legalism would use fear to keep the people in check with harsh laws.

Non-violence is a peaceful strategy people used in the 1900’s to revolt against the government. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and Mohandas Gandhi had the most success in changing the way we live today. How did they get nonviolence to work? Well they were very disobedient, disciplined, and determined to make a change in society.

Nelson Mandela states that “no matter what the authorities did, the volunteers could not retaliate otherwise they would undermine the value of the entire enterprise” (Doc. I). The people of the opposite skin color we're going to be rude and disrespectful and persuade the African-Americans to want to quit before they could start protesting or making a difference. This shows that whatever the people do, you need to stay strong and be strict with yourself and keep fighting for your beliefs just like Gandhi did also. In 1930 Gandhi was arrested and told, “you must not use violence under any circumstances. You will be beaten, but you must not resist” (Doc. G). Gandhi had to use discipline to not resist or fought back. This shows that under the toughest situations you must be brave and show that you aren’t weak. Just like Gandhi is being strong Martin Luther King Jr was put in these settings as well. Luther grew up in America during the time where everyone was racist. He was judged by his skin color and he

To achieve peace by disobeying the law seems counter-intuitive. The structures of society support the morals of a nation, but still with human nature comes the possibility of unjust laws and discrimination. Civil leaders such as Gandhi, Thoreau, and Martin Luther King Jr., preached and lived the necessity of civil disobedience and peaceful protest. Nowadays, organizing a movement is relatively easy, but with every assembly there appears to be a select few who radicalize and incite violence. When peaceful resistance is maintained throughout the entirety of the movement, then there will be positive outcomes. Unlike the armed militants of the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge whose message of violence and chaos was rejected by

“Don’t even use fists to counter attack,” Gandhi said, all of these three men said to some degree along these lines multiple times. If you are going to be trampled to a pulp, still do not raise a fist, do not defend yourself, take in the agony. In Mandela’s case, he saw that nonresistance was the only way to bring equality to every person in South Africa since the government was much more influential than the movement against the apartheid altogether (Document C). If Mandela had used fierceness, his supporters could have been demolished by the government and would still oppressed and being treated in horrifying awful ways. Martin Luther King on the other hand, influenced all volunteers to turn over all imaginable weapons before going to protest (Document E). Martin Luther King Jr. did this so the law enforcement agencies and other residents do not have a reason to harm his followers and other individuals who believed in this

Fire, a necessity for human life on Earth. When this necessity becomes overused it instead changes into a danger, risking the lives of all who are in proximity. This truth relates to the Great Fire of London. Rolling through the city destroying everything in its path, the fire started on September 2, 1666 and finally ceased on September 5, 1666. The great fire of London changed the course of history by not only destroying the city of London, but also impacting London’s alliance with its allies as well as allowing an opportunity to attack for its enemies.

Martin Luther King jr. justified rebellion and civil disobedience in one statement. The statements King makes can be thought of as being contradictory. He rationalized this by answering this question,““How can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not

One popular example of peaceful resistance to our laws is the Rosa Parks incident. Parks peacefully disobeyed the segregation laws which required her, and other people of color, to move to the back of the bus in order for white people to have the front seats. When Parks broke the law, she also made a statement. She had harmed no one, and done no harm to any property. All she did was refuse to move to the back of a bus. Her act of disobedience prompted the skepticism of segregation laws and helped prove the fact that just because something is lawful, does not mean it is moral and just because

Imagine a world without those brave people who dared to not abide by the law and fight for a right. A world without Gandhi would be a world without independent India; without Mandela there would be white superiority in Africa; without freedom fighters, there would be no democracy in Nepal. I believe that all the actions of such law breakers are good, even though they were against various laws, and such actions can be justified to some extent. Even though laws are meant to maintain order and protect rights, it is not always justified; some might be unfair to minorities whereas others might stir up a revolution. Some just violate human rights. In such cases, civil disobedience

Life happens, and it is full of hypocrisy, corruption, folly, and most of all, evil. In Voltaire’s satiric picaresque novel, Candide, the author addresses this evil in the world and how humanity copes with it, all the while cuttingly satirizing philosophical ideals of that time. Through the character of the Old Woman, Voltaire expresses his true beliefs on the uselessness of philosophical speculation and perpetuates his exploration of how one survives in an evil world. While Voltaire explores the origins and purpose of evil in the world, the Old Woman has personally experienced the epitome of evil in the world. As she shares her tale to Candide and Cundegonde, the Old Woman reveals the fact that she was a princess and the daughter of a Pope

Finally, Nelson Mandela, when discussing with other leaders of the Defiance of Unjust Laws campaign, saw that nonviolence was morally superior for them and was strictly a necessity (Doc 3). Although the state under Apartheid was much more powerful, the moral high ground gave Mandela an effective tool that was impossible to account

While when discussing the history of the world’s power forces, violence makes for stimulating discussion, other tactics were put to good use, one of these alternatives being non-violence. With the guidance of three worldwide heroes - Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela - with contagious optimism and high spirits, it became apparent just how much of a difference could be made carried out through non-violent terms. Mankind was introduced to another way to resolve major problems just as effectively, if not more, than violence could.

Martin Luther King and Gandhi deliberately broke laws that were about dividing people according to their race. These actions are ‘non-violent direct action’ meaning to act against something you believe to be wrong, but without resorting to violence. These are peaceful demonstrations such as labour strikes.
