Part 2- 5B

Patient silence and loud persistence can both be powerful, at the right times. Sometimes being a good listener and staying silent is as powerful as standing up for your beliefs. Martin Luther King Jr. organized and participated in peaceful protests for the civil rights of black citizens. Sometimes, it is easier to express what you are trying to say by not saying anything at all. All the jurors, except number 11, went to stand up and face away from it and it made him realise his hostility towards the boy. On the other hand, sometimes, it is better to stand up and verbalize what you stand for. Many rioters decide to fight for their beliefs by making big statements in a public place. Kurt Cobain from Nirvana was loud in their songs to get his feelings and points across. Their songs were very powerful and have touched a lot of people. There are other bands where the lead singer is loud to get the point across. Both of the types of power can come with consequences, both positive and negative, and just be prepared for both whenever the time comes.
