1. Passive Resistance is a "challenge" by a stronger power by nonviolent methods.  Examples of a stronger power include a country's government, an occupying power or a disliked manager in a business. The most obvious and recognizable were Gandhi in India and Martin Luther King in the US. One could argue that Nelson Mandela's resolve in prison was also an example in South Africa.

Alabama, 1965 - In front of the state capitol building in Montgomery, marchers sing "We Have Overcome" and listen to Martin Luther King, Jr. tell them that "SEGREGATION is on its deathbed." This photo is obviously about segregation. Blacks sing joyously about ending segregation. It’s a strong image.

Alabama, 1960 - Martin Luther King, Jr. addresses demonstrators on the steps of the state capitol in Montgomery. In one speech, he said "...let us move on in these POWERFUL days of challenge to make America what it ought to be." This is a very powerful image and depicts MLKJ as a very strong image in the 1960’s.

3. There is definitely discrimination in our communities today. Discrimination is everywhere; the workplace, the streets, and maybe even within families. In the work place for instance it is difficult for some male nurses because some people would just rather have female nurses. Some people get a higher wage depending on their gender. Gender discrimination is just one type of discrimination that goes on in our communities today.   I wish I could say that everyone gets along and does not look down on certain people, but that is not the case.  Some men may look down on women like it used to be, but they need to understand things are a lot different now.  However, I do not think discrimination will ever go away.

4. My topic for paper #2 is racial discrimination.  I am going to support this topic by researching different cases, and what they are charged for.  Three ways I can use ethos and pathos in my paper can be to discuss different laws on preventing discrimination, referencing different cases, and discuss events in which happened in the past to support my topic.
