Rosa Parks


I choose this picture of Rosa Parks to show a modern example of Skepticism, for she didn't drag herself to the back of the bus when asked to. She went against the authority because she stoop up in what she believed was right, what was fair. She fought until the end, against the law. She started a revolution against racism even though it wasn't what she planned. She was just sick and tired of being told what to do just because of something so meaningless like skin colour. We will probably never feel what dark skin coloured people felt back then, but just imagine you being banned to do something just because of your physical appearance. An example of this is; if you are not tall, then you can't play basketball. Just imagine, something you can't control like height would limit your actions. At least height has to do with basketball, while skin colour has to do with nothing at all.   

 Just because of her one simple act of rejection, she changed the world. She was curious and brave enough to question the authority. She, Rosa Parks, showed skepticism!
