Bringing It All Together.

We have many interesting ideas on the blog. I have enjoyed reading and thinking about them. I would like to take the thinking to a higher level.

So, I have a new question:

What connections can you make between the comments on the blog? The connections that you make need to help us understand the question of the blog - Being Agents of Social Change . The last sentence of your post should say what your connections have taught you about social change.

For example:

I think that many of the comments are connected by the idea of courage. Some of the comments about the poem 'First They Came' and Ms. Somers' quote from Carl Schurz say how important it is to stand up for other people's rights. It takes courage to do this. Martin Luther King was a courageous man - he knew that there were people who wanted to kill him but he continued to do his important work. Viola Desmond and Rosa Parks were also courageous. You can also be courageous in the yard when you refuse to be a bystander and show a bully that you do not support them by including someone who is being bullied. These connections have taught me that courage is an important part of social change.
