"Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It l

eaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers.
In a real sense nonviolence seeks to redeem the spiritual and moral lag that I spoke of earlier as the chief dilemma of modern man. It seeks to secure moral ends through moral means. Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.”

–Martin Luther King Jr.,

Answer:

~ make sure to paraphrase !

A) A specific example from the life of Nelson Mandela indicating that he would have agreed with King's statement is that he led non-violent protests against the apartheid in South Africa. Mandela and the fellow members of the African National Congress used non-violent tactics such as protests and strikes to protests the apartheid. This peaceful approach to the issues in South Africa indicate that Mandela would have agreed with and supported King's words such as how "violence is immoral" and how "nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon".

B) A specific example from the life of Mahatma Gandhi indicating he would have agreed with King's statement is that he protested against British rule and advocated or the Indian people peacefully. Gandhi adopted the term of "civil disobedience" and used it to describe his approach to non-violently refuse to cooperate with injustice. He protested against unjust laws, and supported labor strikes. He also organized mass non-violent marches. He also promoted the idea of non-violent protests and strikes to the people of India who were facing unjust norms in British-ruled India. He promoted various boycotts and strikes that were effective, yet mostly remained peaceful. By using this peaceful approach, he matches King's ideas of how peace and non-violence is just as powerful as using violent means.

C) An additional specific example from the life of Mahatma Gandhi indicating that he would have agreed with King's statement in the passage is how Gandhi boycotted against British goods in a peaceful manner. In addition to organizing and attending peaceful strikes against British rule, Gandhi also organized boycotts against British products. In March of 1930, Gandhi began his march in protest of the British monopoly of salt. This was one of his most defiant acts against British rule, yet he was still able to remain peaceful and non-violent. He promote the purchase of Indian goods as opposed to British products in order to help the local economies and hit a blow to the British. Through this effective yet passive demonstration, Gandhi was able to give meaning to King's words such as nonviolence is " a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding".
