Answer:

The rhetoric technique that Martin Luther King uses repeatedly in the above text is the use of similes and the use of figurative language.

Explanation:

Similes are speech techniques that use the comparison of two variables interestingly.

Figurative language is the use of a word to mean differently to its custom meaning.

<em>Martin Luther King uses Socrates and Jesus figuratively to explain his ideas, since, they are not part of his topic, but have similar traits as the situation he is trying to explain, this is an example of figurative language in the above excerpt.</em>

Martin Luther in this excerpt uses similes multiple times to bring out his points.

Some of the instances where he uses similes are;

  1. Isn't this like condemning Socrates because his unswerving commitment to truth and his philosophical  inquiries
  2. Isn't this  like condemning Jesus because his unique God consciousness and never ceasing devotion to God's will  precipitated the evil act of crucifixion?

This questions help him explain his point, it also makes the people understand his point out of the comparison of what they know to what they do not know.

How is the geography of the Mayan civilization different from the geography of the Mesopotamian civilization?
garik1379 [7]

Answer: Both have important elements of civilization in common — among the earliest of written languages, a network of interconnected cities, cooperating and conflicting, formalized government and religion, and so on — but these were very different civilizations, not least for geographical and climatological reasons.

Mesopotamia is a complex example of a river valley civilization — complex because it consists of not one river, but two, the Tigris and the Euphrates, but still I think we can call this a paradigm case of a river valley civilization. We also know that the earliest origins of civilization emerged here, or nearby (Anatolia may be the ultimate point of origin for civilization in this geographical region). The deep history of civilization originating in this region has meant repeated bifurcations in the history of the region, hence cultural and civilizational complexity.

The origins of Mayan civilization are as yet not sufficiently known to determine whether Mayan civilization was completely autonomous in its origins, or if the idea of civilization came to Mesoamerica by way of idea diffusion from the earliest sources of settled neolithic agriculture in the Rio Balsas valley (where corn originated in what is now southern Mexico). Whether or not a civilization emerged autonomously is not always a central question, but in the case of Mayan civilization it should be a central question, because one of the most distinctive things about Mayan civilization is that it is a civilization of a tropical rainforest. Most autonomously emerging civilizations appeared in river valleys, but Mayan civilization appeared and flourished in the jungles of Mesoamerica. There are few other examples of civilizations of the tropical rainforest in the world, the Khmer civilization being another, but in the case of the Khmer we know that it did not originate autonomously, as it comes much later in history when the idea of civilization was already diffused in Indochina.
