Exploratory Draft Reflection.

Mine:
Claim- Religion let Malcolm X change and divert from his previous views quickly without looking back and spending a long time dwelling over it and instead let him look at the challanges that lay ahead.
Question-After being in the Nation of Islam for so long, how did Malcolm change so quickly and decisively after his experiences in Mecca?
Trouble- Malcolm changes his views from something he had agreed with for over 12 years to the near complete opposite in a very short amount of time.
Situation/Status Quo-
-When we make important decisions, we tend to take time to think them over, to help us make the best possible choice.
Reworded question- If we normally take our time with important decisions to help make the best choice possible, but Malcolm changes his views from those of the Nation of Islam to what is close to the complete opposite in a very short amount of time, then what allowed Malcolm to change so quickly and decisively after his experiences in Mecca from something he had held on to for so long?

Brenda's:
Claim- Malcolm took a long time to realize that not all whites were bad because of his poor experiences with whites in America.
Question- What took Malcolm such a long time to realize that not all whites were bad?
Trouble- While Malcolm advocates against racism against blacks, he constantly stereotypes whites.
Situation/Status Quo-
- Usually if we are advocating for something not to be done to one person, we don't do it ourselves, like the "golden rule" suggests.
Reworded question- If usually people are not hypocritical about something they are advocating to not be done by doing that same thing themselves, but Malcolm stereotypes whites even after he is saying that whites should not be racist towards blacks, then what took Malcolm to realize he was stereotyping ALL whites as evil racists?

Malik's:
Claim- People look up to Malcolm even after the bad things that he did because he did things that were very important for society.
Question- What did Malcolm do in his life that would be worth remembering him for that outweighs the bad things he did?
Trouble- Malcolm does a lot of criminal acts in his life, yet he is remembered as a hero or role model.
Situation/Status Quo-
- Criminals aren't considered heroes by most.
- Society in general looks down on criminals.
Reworded question- If criminals are usually looked down on by society, but Malcolm, who does many criminal acts in his life, is looked on as a hero or role model, then what did Malcolm do in his life that was benificial to outweigh the bad things he did in his life?
