“just as socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from
the bondage of myths and half truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, so
must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will men rise
from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.”
what is king's most likely reason for comparing socrates' ideas about tension in the mind with the tension of those who
were involved in nonviolent direct action in birmingham?
a) the uplifting goals king sought while writing in birmingham are as relevant today as they were when socrates wrote about in athens.
b) the strain among opposing groups in birmingham was similar to the creative blockades in ancient athens, to which socrates
referred.
c) the situation in birmingham required an appeal to city officials, which was similar to socrates' petition for action to the greek city-
states.
d) the actions of socrates served as an example for king of how harmony was eventually achieved among warring groups during
ancient times.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
