King believes that non-violence is not weak because although physically they do not react but spiritually they are firm in their beliefs and are determine to effect change.  It takes a lot of courage to march amidst a hostile crowd and be beaten and hosed down.  A coward would not last long under those conditions but they did.

Answer:

He defends his belief in nonviolence and civil disobedience by stating that it is much more efficient to defeat an enemy through friendship than through violence and harm.

Explanation:

Martin Luther King Jr., the most famous of African American activists in the United States, and through whose efforts the movement for civil rights saw a great improvement, was not initially a believer in pacific protest and nonviolence. Initially, he was a believer of self-defense and even kept guns in his home, in case there was an attack. However, through the influence of people very close to him, pacifists Bayard Rustin, Harris Wofford and Glen Smiley, who led him to learn about Mahatma Ghandi and his own civil disobedience movement in India, and also read Henry David Thoreau´s work on civil disobedience, Martin Luther King saw a change in his way of thinking. Also, his contact with the Christian movements, he came to realize that throughout history, Christianity had opposed corrupt and evil governments and systems through a very succesful friendly, and non-violent, system of opposition, which had changed history several times. These were all reasons why Martin Luther King Jr., later became a great advocate of the nonviolence and civil disobedience system, instead of violent acts.

Answer:

Actor/observer bias

Explanation:

In psychology, the actor/observer bias refers to the tendency to attribute our  own actions to external causes while attributing other people's behaviors to internal causes.

When the results of a situation are negative, if the negative outcome happened to the person, the person will likely attribute the outcome to external circumstances. But when it comes to other people, the person will attribute the outcome to the other person behaviors, habits or actions.

In this example, Jeremiah falls and thinks the ice is brutal. <u>He is attributing the fall to an external circumstance (the ice)</u>. But then, when his friend Ed falls on the same spot, he says his friend is really clumsy, <u>attributing the fall to an inner characteristic of his friend</u>. Therefore, this would be an example of actor/observer bias.
