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.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u />

<em>Two differences between the emotional and physical effects of unemployment among newly qualified educators in South Africa: </em>

A permanent job doesn’t have a defined end date and the employee receives benefits. In a temporary one, the employee works for a defined duration. It’s contractual. Depending on the employee group, some temporary positions provide additional payment and some benefits.

Nowadays, unemployment is seen among newly qualified educators in South Africa. Unemployment itself has many effects on the human mind and health. It impacts one’s self-confidence and gives rise to a constant feeling of being useless. These are the emotional effects. Unemployment can cause stress which may affect physical health deterioration. Due to these reasons, the newly qualified educators in South Africa sometimes find some jobs that are not aligned with their degrees .

lesya [120]

Answer:

I imagined myself to be Hebe, the goddess of youth and youthful brides. If my father Zeus invited me to the party, I would wear my best party gown. I would also wear my golden wreath. Marriage to Heracles has made me happy; therefore, I would include instances of this happiness in my song to my parents. I would tell them of my life before marriage. I worked as a handmaiden for my mother Hera. It was my duty to help fill the cups of Olympian gods with nectar. I would keep her chariot ready whenever she wanted. I also gave my brother Ares a daily bath. It disturbed me that I was put to work as a maid even though I belonged to a royal family. I also did not like the way my mother always had disagreements with Heracles. I knew that he was a good person at heart and that he deserved a better life. Therefore, I was overjoyed when he chose to die, thereby becoming immortal after his human elements disappeared. I agreed to marry him because he was now free. Most of all, I was happy because my mother gave up her long-standing hatred for Heracles after our alliance. Our families united after the birth of my two sons, Alexiares and Anticetus, and I am consequently very happy.
