Camparison with Luddites

Martin Luther King with his members



Members of Luddites



I’m Martin Luther King the leader of African-American Civil Rights. We made the success on our movement because we used nonviolence to oppose the racial segregation. If I could compare with another movement, I would choose Luddites which was the movement organized with the anti-machine labors tried to eliminate all the machines in England in a violent way. Both of them had complaint with the government. Martin Luther King and his members carefully made their decisions and didn’t use any violent ways to solve the problems. Unlike his group, Luddites carelessly made their decisions and thought in their own way. For example, when the prices of the goods went up, the rate of the jobless people increased day by day, and economic depression due to the industrial revolution, they blamed the machine as a main reason of the increasing rate of jobless people and their hardships of life and started to destroy every machine in the factories. If the leader of the Luddites was me, they could have complained to the government clearly and began the nonviolence resistance under the command of me.
