He claims that an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law and he compares it with a just law.  

"Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust."

King provides an example of Nazi Germany: everything Hitler did in Germany was legal and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was illegal. It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany.

His statements are totally against injustice.

"Injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured."

He supports the Negros' march:

"So let him march; let him make prayer pilgrimages to the city hall; let him go on freedom rides -and try to understand why he must do so."

Answer/Explanation:

King establishes first a difference between just and unjust laws and then states that the individual has a moral responsibility to follow just laws and to disobey unjust laws. This contrast in his argument allows us to understand it better, he didn't stand for a lack of rules or chaos, since he did support some laws, however for him the law should be obeyed if it “uplifts human personality,” and was conformed according to “moral law or the law of God”, otherwise, it was a duty to disobey it, according to king .

Derek’s dad demands that Derek play catch with him. When Derek drops the ball, his dad tells him that he is useless unless he ca
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ABOVE IS "CONDITIONS OF WORTH" (OPTION B)

Explanation:

CONDITIONS OF WORTH best suites the answer among the other options because Derek was trying to meet some conditions the Dad set. Obviously, the son couldn't meet the condition. This describes how CONDITIONS OF WORTH gives people this mentality that there is a standard they must attain in other for them to be loved or accepted. Those that suffer from this condition tend to see that they have to meet certain rules as required of them. In other words, people who are classes above others use CONDITIONS OF WORTH as standard behavior for others to follow if they are to be loved. From the question above, CONDITIONS OF WORTH had a negative impact because DEREK couldn't please his DAD, as the DAD expects him to play in certain way which DEREK couldn't. This act could result to trauma, feeling of rejection, if not well managed.

While from the other options, LOW SELF ESTEEM has to do with perception, belief about one's self-worth usually caused by so many factors example are: trauma, rejection.

LOW SELF ESTEEM leaves the victim with a bad state of mind and overall affects the esteem of the individual.

Give three ways in which the middle adulthood experience is different than it was a generation ago.
DochEvi [55]

The correct answer is the following.

The three ways in which the middle adulthood is different form than it was a generation ago are:

1.- Middle adulthood now is more conscious of his responsibility to improve its health. Nowadays the life span has increased and with that, the possibility to live longer with a much better quality of life than 10 years ago.

2.- Middle adulthood now is more responsible of the way he takes care of its money and invests it better than spend it or waste in unnecessary things like happened ten years ago.

3.- Middle adulthood now is more compassionated and respectful to other people. Its emotional changes are not so selfish like in the past. Now, he/she takes into consideration other’s people necessities such as family members or other individuals that somehow are related to him/her.
