Civil Disobedience in Relation to the Letter from Birmingham
Introduction;
Civil Disobedience is a native’s dynamic, pronounced refusal to comply with particular laws, requests, requests, or directions of an administration or universal authority. Common insubordination is characterized here and there to be called common defiance as being peaceful. Therefore, there is a popular rebellion here and there compared to peaceful resistance. Your brother is the letter from Birmingham, also identified as the letter from the jail in Birmingham City or the Negro. It’s an internal memo published on April 16, 1963, by Martin Luther King Jr. The letter protects the technique of peaceful protection against bigotry. It says that individuals have an ethical duty to break unreasonable laws and move directly, rather than trusting that equity will be passed via the courts. King says, “Anywhere in bad shape is a risk to equity,” reacting to being called “untouchable.”
In his 1848 exposition, Henry David Thoreau instituted the term ‘ Civil Disobedience’ to portray his refusal to pay the U.S. government’s actualized state survey charge to indict a war in Mexico and uphold the Fugitive Slave Act. In his exhibition, Thoreau sees that only a few individuals–legends, saints, loyalists, reformers in the best sense–with their still, small voices serve their general public, thus fundamentally oppose society in general, and are usually treated as opponents by it.
Although common defiance is viewed as a statement of contempt for law, Martin Luther King Jr. respected common resistance as a showcase and routine of worship for code; for as “On any man who breaks a law that lets him know is out of line and enthusiastically recognizes the punishment by remaining in prison to stimulate the still, small voice of the network at the threshold.
Body;
The letter reacted to a few reactions crafted by “A Call for Unity” ministers, who consented that there were shameful cultural acts yet argued that the fight against ethnic isolation must be battled solely in the courts, not on the roads. As a clergyman, King reacted on religious grounds to these reactions. He contended as a lobbyist testing a socially settled one on legal, political, and recorded properties. He spoke about the nation’s abuse of dark people, including himself, as an African American.
Thoreau’s scriptural suggestions are entirely another issue. They negatively support his article. Rather than instilling in the peruser, for example, King’s, a feeling of pride and expectation, they represent just a few things that aren’t right with society. This was Thoreau’s expectation undoubtedly, and they function better with the piece’s tone, yet the fundamental reality is that King’s specific hallucinations work superior to Thoreau’s negative references to an enthusiastic dimension.
The creators address shameful acts submitted by the legislature within “Common Disobedience” and “Birmingham Jail Letter.” Henry David Thoreau and Martin Luther King use two very surprising viewpoints: Thoreau is a white American residing in the 1800s who stopped paying a bonding administration for administrative expenses, and King is a dark man at the cutting edge of the Civil Rights Movement. The ruler is liable to the laws he contradicts; Thoreau is not. Two of them, despite their varying perspectives, advance comparable belief systems.
Martin Luther King and Henry David Thoreau each compose unique, convincing exhibitions that delineate social foul play and examine common non-compliance, which is the refusal to consent to a point by the law. King addresses a particular gathering of people in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”: the African Americans, and examines why he feels they should end isolation. Thoreau then again addresses, in “Common Disobedience,” a more extensive, untenable collection of people as he mostly communicates his emotions towards what he feels is an unreasonable government.
Although Thoreau and King both address these decent quality and equity themes throughout their exhibitions, their articles are not the slightest bit comparable recorded as a style, tones, and goals of hard copy. Lord speaks to his perusers about the injustice independently served by African Americans. He uses a passionate intrigue to make a move to end isolation as he argues his perusers. Together with his idealism for the opportunity, this intense intrigue sets him and his composition not precisely the same as that of Thoreau. Thoreau’s article, then again, condemns the most for American government of the uncalled.
The use of scriptural mention is one powerful system that each creator updates to help his thoughts sincerely. In any case, King’s method is more grounded in the examination, because the tone of his references speaks to the peruser all the more. The inferences of Lord make the peruser need to move against shame, while Thoreau’s are darker-bound to make the peruser need to submit to and acknowledge the treacheries depicted.
“Civil Disobedience,” by Henry David Thoreau, and Martin Luther King, Jr., “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” fuse the feelings of the equity of the creators. Each creator effectively demonstrates their central issue; Thoreau manages reality as he identifies with the government, he asks, “not on the second no administration, but a superior government immediately.
Kings letter from a Birmingham jail was a demonstration of his unreasonable support for a challenge against the white conventions. Lord, a pioneer of bunches of social freedoms, as opposed to customary perspectives; King supported the challenging meeting and created unreasonable laws. In his Birmingham letter Jail King states, “All things being equal, I am certain that if I had lived in Germany at the time, I would have helped and improved my Jewish siblings. I would advocate straightforwardly resisting the anti-religious laws of that nation on the off chance that today I lived in a Communist nation where certain standards dear to Christian trust are smothered.”
Dr. Ruler himself was inspired by his “Fantasy” for a superior America, by his religious vision for another world, and by the enormous number of supporters who, for a remarkable reason, were customary individuals. He was, considered all things, a minister, and evangelists are estimated by their ability to move to a great extent. “Birmingham Jail Letter” is not just a smug-conservative analysis. It’s a suggestion for everyone who can hear the message to take action routed.
The two creators address the common defiance issue, or the refusal to accept laws as a kind of quiet political challenge, as an approach to achieving social goals. I agree that general insubordination is a supporting device in the formation of an administration and that both King’s and Thoreau’s goals on the subject can give an extraordinary stage of social equity. Common non-compliance with scholar Socrates can be followed back to Ancient Greece. He would not reverence the normal divine beings, and he was imprisoned and condemned to death because he went to bat for what he had faith in.
There are two writings on what they feel is “minimized,” known as Martin Luther King, Jr’s. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “Group Names and Mascots” by Robert Schmidt. Both used comparable techniques to approach their subjects during their arguments; for example, the claim was used, and incredible evidence was used to clarify theoretical articulations. Similarly, their announcements or cases are intended to assist their assumptions and persuade others. These two articles deal with two unique issues. Be that as it may, these articles shared moved towards segregation of societies.
There are numerous talk claims in this letter that are used to induce perusers. Lord uses ethos, logos, and feeling throughout his argument to show the group of onlookers that he is tenable, consistent, and on an individual dimension he can identify with others. The most grounded intrigue used in this letter is feeling as it is usually used in most messages.
People’s gathering allows the creator to focus on specific collections or individuals. Both Thoreau and King go for large crowds. It can be very well understood that Thoreau’s group of onlookers is centered on U.S. residents as he regularly composes the foul play that the administration shows to his kin. For example, Thoreau says, “Why doesn’t it urge its natives to be on the alarm to draw attention to its weaknesses and show improvement over them?”
Conclusion;
Either way, King’s gathering of people is acknowledged to have been the eight ministers who composed with King’s activities, but it is still suggested that King’s group of spectators also include U.S. and world residents. Both of these writers have large groups of viewers who have a significant influence on the measurement of the effects of the two exposures. The voice described in an article is the speaker of an exhibition. And both King, as well as Thoreau, talk to various sounds to assist the group of onlookers in understanding the origin of the creator.
In conclusion, the two articles also have numerous distinctions that are evident throughout the investigation of the two expositions that separate individual understanding of each content, except that the general reason for these two papers is to induce people’s gatherings that common defiance is essential if there is an awful social form in the legislature that administers someone.

Civic Disturbance Emergency Response (Sentinel City)
Civic disturbance refers to the situation that disrupts the community and therefore requires to be intervened to maintain safety within the public (Moeller, 2018). The situation could be a strike, a riot, or a demonstration within a community. These situations can result in disorder, violence, assault, or vandalism within the community. The following report, therefore, focuses on the civic disturbance in Sentinel City.
During my bus tour in Sentinel City, there were reports through the media and public of the incident along Coty hall that contributed to civil disorder. According to the laws in Sentinel City, the City Hall is a point where the residents in the City gather t raise their issues and concerns about the city government. However, on this particular day, the number of residents that had gathered along the City Hall was huge, and they could be heard complaining about the huge tax increments in the City. Most of these demonstrators were from low businesses tired of being blown by the huge tax increment, and the city Mayor was not addressing their issue. This demonstration was accompanied by a few hours of confounding between the city residents and the law enforcers.
Therefore, this scenario resulted in two significant effects on the public’s health and needed an emergency reaction. This incident resulted in so many death cases and others suffering both minor and major injuries. According to the media reports, the affected included the disabled, the children and the elderly, who constituted 40% of the overall deaths. The incident had no red flags, and therefore, the authorities delayed responding since they were unaware. The death of hundreds of residents created public tension, and those affected were at risk of suffering mental disorders, which could result in another public health concern. Secondly, this incident created a significant risk and spread of the COVID-19 virus. This is due to the breaching of the protocols set to prevent the spread of the virus. The residents in the scenario interacted freely without keeping a social distance, and during confrontations with the police, the residents came into contact with each other. This is against the COVID-19 protocols set by the health ministry. If residents were infected with the virus, they infected hundreds of the residents. The residents who burnt cars during the demonstration caused air pollution due to the smoke from the burning tires, which could have affected the respiratory health of many residents.
The emergency response team in Sentinel City includes the public teams, such as the local authority and the private teams, which include the media and the Red Cross crew. The local authorities have the duty of communicating the progress to contain the incident and ensuring that the COVID-19 protocols are taken into account. The police officers’ job is to disperse the demonstrating residents to restore law and order and prevent vandalism and looting during the incident. The Red Cross teams would provide first aid services to injured residents or officers during the incident. On the other hand, the media would air all the ongoing activities during the incident, including the measures being taken to contain the situation.
Risks and benefits can accompany the media involvement in the civil unrest incident. The advantages include ensuring that information quickly reaches the local authorities about the incident to take action to contain the situation. The media will also act as a mediator between the public and local authorities by urging them to come together and find a solution to the situation to avoid more incidences leading to such civil unrest. The risk of media being involved would create public tension. This is because the media usually air scary images of dead or badly injured individuals, creating fear in public.
Some of the public resources that would be used to help respond both in the short and long term include telehealth services and electronic posters. Telemedicine is appropriate since communication through telemedicine services ensures constant communication between the healthcare officers and the patients’ families in virtual settings through online and doctor services or video calls. Electronic posters are another method that would help the healthcare officers in Sentinel City provide information on how to stay safe from the COVID-19 virus. The posters could include images of people keeping social distance, washing their hands using clean running water and soap, wearing masks and other protocols. The images could also display inappropriate behaviours such as not observing social distance or sneezing uncontrollably in public settings.
To avoid this incident, the response team in Sentinel City has to re-adjust its plans by employing the four phases of emergency management. The faces include the preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery phases (Nojavan et al., 2018). The first phase will help lessen the probable impact of the disaster as there will be the identification of hot spots, emergency operations will be set up, and an action plan will also be formulated. The second phase will involve taking quick actions such as training officers to handle civil unrest or training the residents on how to run for their safety during civil unrest to prepare for emergencies. The third phase involves protecting the public after the disaster strikes, such as setting centers for offering first aid or a partial curfew that limits people’s movements, thus minimizing civil unrest. The fourth phase involves the creation of protocols or action plans to solve civil issues peacefully, lowering strike incidents (Nojavan et al., 2018).
The emergency management team in Sentinel City should therefore utilize the four phases to prevent future occurrences of fatal incidents such as the one experienced along City Hall. Therefore, they should look for loopholes in their emergency management plans to avoid the occurrence of unaware civil unrest in the City.

My Opinion on Human Existence
What gives your life meaning? As for me, I believed it was God but not anymore. Some people would hold a different opinion on that issue as some will say God, love, games, money, fiction, among other things. I always believed that God created me with a particular essence, and nobody would fault me for wanting my life to be meaningful. Many philosophers argue that all of the above aspects can provide one the meaning of their lives, but at the same time, others say that none of them can. My opinion is none of them can.
Two ancient Greek philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, held everything in life that has an essence (Gordon, 1). By essence, they meant that existence of specific core properties vital for something to be given that particular meaning.
After reading the literary works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre, my belief changed on the essentialist ideas of being imbued with any purpose. Friedrich believed in the ultimate meaningless of life that he called Nihilism. Sartre challenged essentialism by asking, what if humans exist first without any imbued essence (Sartre and Philip 1)? However, it is upon individual responsibility to figure out their identities. In other words, existentialism holds that existence precedes essence. Humans’ existence happens first; then, they later determine what they will become as they grow older through the way they choose to live. I now believe that human beings do not have any predetermined purpose and no set path to follow.
In my previous beliefs, it was difficult to explain how radical the ideals were back then since, for many decades, people did not have to follow absolute paths, but God did it for them. I am now critical of the notion that God made human beings or the world with a fundamental essence in his mind. I believe in God’s existence, but it is somewhat different when it comes to instilling me, my life, and the cosmos with meaning. It is not what God is all about
One may adhere to a religion, government, etc. but they are people just like you. Those authorities cannot give people their respective life meanings since they do not have any answer; instead, they figured out how by themselves how to live. As such, humans should live authentically. Humans should accept the full weight of their absurd and acknowledge that it’s only them who can determine any meaning regarding their lives.
