Jr.: what kinds of changes does King, Jr. want to see accomplished and what persuasive
writing techniques are used in his essay to convince readers of the justness of civil
disobedience? Include in your essay response the extent to which you his argument is
convincing. Conclude your essay with an extended discussion reflecting on the extent to
which you think civil disobedience is still a valid approach to acquiring racial and social
justice. How and why would you be willing to use this approach today and in service of what
cause or causes? If you don think civil disobedience is an effective strategy to use now, then

examples that show how civil disobedience would not work today.
