Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Birmingham, Alabama for organizing widespread protests and he was criticized by some white Clergymen for what they viewed as the wrong methods to go about seeking equal rights.

King then replied in the ''Letter from Birmingham Jail'' where he stated that if citizens do not take direct action, there is a chance that they could wait forever to get their rights because freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

The logic here is that people who are doing the oppressing are benefitting disproportionately from the system and so have no vested interest in changing the system and helping the oppressed so they never voluntarily give freedom to the oppressed.

If the oppressed want equal rights and freedom, they must demand it through direct action because if they do not, they might never get it.

Answer:plz give me brainliest I write long answer for you guys

Explanation:

The Department of Sociology poster.Sociology and anthropology involve the systematic study of social life and culture in order to understand the causes and consequences of human action. Sociologists and anthropologists study the structure and processes of traditional cultures and modern, industrial societies in both Western and non-Western cultures. They examine how culture, social structures (groups, organizations and communities) and social institutions (family, education, religion, etc.) affect human attitudes, actions and life-chances.

Sociology and anthropology combine scientific and humanistic perspectives in the study of society. Drawing upon various theoretical perspectives, sociologists and anthropologists study areas such as culture, socialization, deviance, inequality, health and illness, family patterns, social change and race and ethnic relations. Combining theoretical perspectives with empirical research allows students an opportunity to develop new insights and a different perspective on their own lives. This combination also helps students to understand everyday social life as a blend of both stable patterns of interaction and ubiquitous sources of social change.

The sociology curriculum prepares the student for both academic and applied research careers in sociology and anthropology. It offers an essential liberal arts background for many careers and professions, including public service and administration, communications and public relations, law, business, medicine, journalism, arts management, environmental science, and other professions. In addition to offering a major in sociology, the department also offers a minor in sociology. Beyond the department itself, the faculty are centrally involved in the black studies, women's studies, environmental studies, and international studies programs.

Our aim is to provide students with communicative and interpretative skills that will allow them to understand the meaning and consequences of human actions and relationships in society. Students will learn to use theoretical and methodological tools to analyze culture, human behavior, and social institutions and to understand the relationship between individual biographies and the functioning of institutions.

The theoretical and methodological courses in the curriculum provide intensive instruction in the analytical integration and critical application of sociological and anthropological theories and methodology. The theoretical courses provide an intensive examination into the various sociological perspectives on human social behavior and on the social systems we create. They evaluate the different ways we use these sociological perspectives to gather and utilize evidence to make inferences about the world in which we live. The department also offers extensive instruction and experience in research design and methodology, including courses in research methods, qualitative and survey methodologies, social statistics, and computer approaches in social research.

The lines in this excerpt from Everyman's piece show that Everyman is reluctant to go with Death and wants to delay the time of his final journey is "Spare me until I get medicine."

This is a correct alternative because in using the word "spare me" he expresses the desire to delay his going. In addition, in the same sentence, he even indicates when to delay, which is "until I receive medicine".
