Assuming that my audience knows the general aspects of my argument—that civil disobedience can be justified—it can be easily determined that the image says just that. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks are two prominent figures in history who illustrated how and why civil disobedience could be justified. King advocated obtaining peace and equality among black and whites both. Rosa, on the other hand, by refusing to give-up her seat to a white woman, showed that in-order to change the way society worked, she had to stand-up for what she believed and make a difference. The image does not intentionally display a bias although it has one because not only black people engage in civil disobedience. In my thesis, I am discussing how people have “moral rights” and, therefore, have rights to stand-up for what they believe in. I could use this image, to make a point about how engaging in civil disobedience can change society.
