“This is homage to Martin Luther
King, Jr.” How much have we contributed
to this existing world? Most or
all of our paths are already taken
or invented by the pioneers. Martin
Luther King is one of the most
prolific contributors to the field
of humanity in our human world.
His perspiration, courage and
achievements are the milestones
of human freedoms, civil rights
and other mental civilizations
that all of us are firmly holding
as our norm. No matter how civilized
our world has reached, people
with heads like that of Martin
Luther King are needed. This heroic
man is needed based on three rationalisms.
1. Model of no model: Ninety-nine
percent of the world’s population
needs “model” to invent the similar
model. Martin Luther King does
not stand in the ninety-nine percent,
but in the one percent of the
world’s population. There was
no one before him (his model)
to steer his freedom-oriented
mentality. His stride for Black
American’s equal rights on the
land dominated by White Americans
was an original human philosophy
that no one before him could think
of. Martin Luther King, an arch-model
man! 2. Courage: With no prosperous
family background and other sturdy
foundations, Martin Luther King
dares to initiate the first and
absolutely risky vocations. During
his time, the United States of
America was not as civilized as
today: segregated schools, legal
loopholes to guarantee equal rights
and accesses between Black and
White Americans and other ethnic
groups, unsophisticated American
mentalities and other human rights
mechanisms to protect the good-faith
civil-right activists like Martin
Luther King. Never got discouraged
by these plights, King still strides
for equal rights for all human
as what stated in social-contract
theory of Jean-Jacque Rousseau.
Incarceration, quantity support
and other promising backgrounds
are not the reasons that make
King accept the status quo of
materialism and idealism inequalities.
3. Achievements To what extent
King’s perspiration has brought
to the soil of America and the
world? The abolition of school
segregations, America’s today
heroic image of international
human-right actor, international
human right instruments and even
other philosophical contributions
to the world after his death,
are the achievements that enable
us to feel for “tomorrow.” His
death caused by assassination
is the wonderful regret, because
we do not know would such a head
be born again, but this never
discourage me to follow this model.

world. Wring this article, the
