King & Kyi

What current law or rule do you feel is unjust enough for you to peacefully disobey? How would

you exercise civil disobedience? 

There are many laws to know that are way out of hand, but a current law I feel is unjust enough

for myself to peacefully disobey is the law in Mississippi for profanity being used in public.

Imagine heading to jail for 30 days for simply expressing your thoughts or even accidentally

letting a couple words out of hand come out. I understand the law is made to try and protect

others, for example children and those feeling offended by filthy words. Partially I agree with the

law, because as I said before it is to protect those who shouldn't need to learn profanity, but I also

disagree with the law, because this goes against the First Amendment where everyone have there

freedom of speech. The way I would fight against this law if given the chance would be, by

clarifying the First Amendment which states the Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly,

and petition. 

Which of these qualities are most present - and most absent - in that leader?

A current leader I decided to choose Kim Jong-un. President Kim Jong-un doesn't go with the

"Ten Duties of Kings". From the "Ten Duties of Kings", Jong-un follows less than half these

duties.

* Dana - (Charity) * Sila - (Morality) * Pariccaga - (Altruism) * Ajjave - (Honesty) * Maddava -

(Gentleness) * Tapa - (Self control) * Akkhoda - (Non-Anger) * Avihimsa - ( Non-Violence)

* Khanti - (Forbearance) * Avirodhana - (Uprightness). 

The "Ten Duties of Kings", provide so many important statements. The current leader of North

Korea, is hardly any of these duties. His people suffer from hunger, that they have to rely on

United Nations. The Non-Violence that is needed to be shown, is not visible at all as this leader

had nuclear missiles that could be thrown into the US. His honesty can hardly even be noticed as

this place is one of the hardest places to enter. While being on vacation you aren't even able to

talk to the North Koreans or go out to tour from the designated places and of course with a

special tour guide.
