a counterclaim statement for this: Gandhi and King wanted to distinguish themselves from the party of violence and make it clear that they both favor only nonviolence.

nikkixmarie:

@Elsa213 just one more .-.

LootAtTheTime:

So, do you know what the claim is you are counter claiming?

nikkixmarie:

thats the claim

ZoeyBiocth16:

so what are u asking us to do

nikkixmarie:

just write a counterclaim for it?

ZoeyBiocth16:

ahh okay

LootAtTheTime:

You need to make a counterclaim against the claim above. Im thinking we take the route of making them appear pro violence.

LootAtTheTime:

I guess you could say Gandhi and king want to distinguish themselves from a party of nonviolence to make it clear that they favor a party of violence.

nikkixmarie:

then a short refutation and that's it, literally a short sentence, i just struggle in it

AP:

Something along the lines of why a more violent approach to the situation might have yielded more effective results. An example of that would be Malcolm X's lack of adamance about non-violent protest, unlike MLK and Ghandi.

nikkixmarie:

so whats a short refuation for it?

nikkixmarie:

refutation*

AP:

That would be the easy part: you simply state what makes non-violent protest more powerful and more effective than a violent approach, and ultimately, why those two activists chose to use that approach.

nikkixmarie:

ok I’ll write it and u tell me how it is in a bit

AP:

Alright, tag me, I might be afk if not offline though

nikkixmarie:

@AP

nikkixmarie:

When dispute arises, those involved in the dispute find themselves in a state of transient need for social support. Both of these leaders did not use violence, They used their words and knowledge to spread their word and changed the world.

AP:

That's pretty good, now, but before you discuss the approach that Ghandi and MLK used, explain why an activist might think it's a better idea to use violence if a situation makes it necessary. Then refute that, using examples from these two activists' lives.

nikkixmarie:

ok i pretty much finished everything i just need to write a final conclusion on my planning sheet

AP:

Good luck. (:

nikkixmarie:

thank you!

AP:
