It is not just a single line from "Civil Disobedience" by Henry David Thoreau that may have influenced John Lewis's beliefs, but probably most of the entire second half.

The line that influenced John Lewis was <em>“I think sometimes, Why, this people mean well; they are only ignorant; they would do better if they knew how: why give your neighbors this pain to treat you as they are not inclined to?”</em>

<em />

Henry David Thoreau advocated for civil disobedience, he wrote this essay when he was arrested for not paying a poll tax. John Lewis was a pacifist but he was heavily influenced by Thoreau ideas of disobedience of the population, but he did not agree with physical violence, instead, he said that civil disobedience should take place by “creative disruption” and “aggressive nonviolence”.

Based on the things Orwell has predicted in the story, which elements do you believe have already either begun to happen or have
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Okay, you didnt specify which Orwell story, but I'm assuming 1984

Explanation:

- the constant government surveillance all characters in 1984 are under is not that far from the way people will document their lives on social media for all to see. also, the Patriot Act and similar post-911 laws in the US make government surveillance a very real thing in all citizens' lives

- the personified idea of Big Brother is something that exists, to a lesser extent, in the form of world leaders such as Trump, Bolsanaro, etc., who have built "cults of personality" around themselves. in those cases, criticizing policies or the government is the same as a personal attack on said politicians' very humanity

- the government tortures its prisoners with their greatest fear (ie rats). in other words, they find out a person's weak spot and then exploit it for their own gain. advertisers literally do the commercialized version of that very thing nowadays: they monitor someones online activities to determine their interests, then use that information to target ads and try to sell them things
