Assignment #7

Heroes who were considered disobedient and the impact that they have had on the world as a result of that disobedience.

The one heroe that stuck out in my mind would have to be Martin Luther King Jr.. His radical thinking about de-segregation has had a major impact on society, and still lives in everyone today. If it were not for his famous "I have a dream" speech, there would have been a longer period of segregation and racism in this world. Rosa Parks also contributed to his thinking and helped paved the way for African Americans and the rest of the American society. She has made a great contribution to society for sticking to her guns and not seeing the world in black and white, but as a world of diverse human beings. The revolution that these two heroes started with their disobedience has changed the world, and for that I respect them a great deal.
