Question

Accoring to martin luther komg why do we need nonviolent gadflies in society

Answer 1

Martin Luther King, Jr. believes that we need gadflies because we need to bring to light issues that need to be resolved especially when it concerns the violation of people’s rights to be treated equally.  Gadflies are those who make a lot of noise through their speeches and actions that draw people’s attention.  Still Dr. King maintains that gadflies should use their talents to promote non-violent confrontations to resolves issues of social injustice.  These are the people who speak their mind with such force that others listen even if they think it doesn’t concern them.  More people gadflies attract, the more attention is given to the issues at hand. By doing that, it would spur government to do something about it.
