22-Sep-09 Journal Reflection

Dr. King's words challenge us:
"...injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
We will listen to the cries of the poor; we will stand in solidarity with those who suffer oppression; we will take as our own the hopes of all who long for a full human life (what it means to be fully human); we will create in our midst the Beloved Community with room for all, justice for all, and joy for all.

Explain how these words invite you to become an individual who cares about his/her community. Thinking about your extended class and your school, describe how you could be a caring member of this community. Please offer specific examples.

I need to participates in events and show my love and be here on a regular basis. I need to be a people person and learn the background of what people are about. I need to learn about their hobbies, kind of sports that they play, how many children do they have, being a friendly neighbor, and making this a community. A community cannot be without people.

Dr. King meant that you have to have the courage, sense of smell, taste, touch and know what people are like. Knowledge is the key to life and it is important in our human life because it makes them successful and what people are. You need to care for others as a race. We are not going anyway and we need to work together. We were made to cooperate to defeat others, like what if aliens come? People just need to stick together and show our feelings and put it on the table.
