Answer:

What is the main idea of the bolded paragraph?

Gandhi had much to lose.

Gandhi was more organized than Thoreau.

Gandhi protested against taxes.

Gandhi was willing to go to jail

Thoreau’s ideas had a profound effect on a man named Gandhi. Gandhi, was a leader in India who worked to end British rule. He led India to independence and inspired many to non-violent forms of protest and resistance. He fought to end poverty, worked to expand women's right to vote, and built bridges between ethnic and religious groups. Like Thoreau, he lived simply, owned very little, and ate a vegetarian diet. In India, Gandhi's form of protest was called the "non-cooperation movement." He urged Indians to boycott British education systems and leave government jobs. The movement was very popular, and in part to stop its spread, the British controlled government arrested him. After a few years, he was released and became active in politics again. He inspired many to follow him on marches to protest various taxes. On one such march, thousands followed him 240 miles over 24 days to the sea to protest a salt tax. This march set the example of non-violent resistance to the government that others in the country followed. Eventually India won independence from Britain, in large part because of Gandhi work.

Gandhi's model of resistance and reform was creative, appealing, and successful. As a result, Dr. Martin Luther King looked to Gandhi when the time came to find a way to resist segregation in the South. The lunch counter protests, famous for the passive response to anger, and even violence, aimed to end the separation enforced by laws in some regions of the South. King also organized walks, marches, and bus rides that were meant to bring attention to the issues facing African Americans. These forms of protest were directly modeled on Gandhi's, but King took them straight to the source of oppression. Where Gandhi's protests created awareness and built momentum, King's protests were in the face of great hatred and fear. The passive, non-violent protests were ultimately effective, mainly because the passive response to violence cast the opposition as brutes. However, change came slowly and at the cost of many lives. King remained committed to peaceful protest, however, until his death. King learned from Gandhi, expanding on what worked, applying old techniques to a new problem. Gandhi owed his philosophy, in part, to a New England poet who loved the woods.

Besides religious phrases, what did Charles Grandison Finney emphasize in his sermons
Lemur [1.5K]
Besides religious phrases, what Charles Grandison Finney emphasized in his sermons is the fact that people had to make choices in their lives similar to making political decisions.
Although sometimes it can be difficult to make a decision or a right choice, still people have to do it all the time. Life is not easy, and sometimes these decisions can change everything for the person making them. Finney wanted to say that no matter how hard it is, people have to do what's right at all times.

No matter what people say, every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish. Even large gifts to charity feel good to the giver.
DerKrebs [107]
