Mary lynn dodson knew as soon as her son, lou, was born that he was somehow "different." she remembered that lou never liked to be held. "if i tried to cuddle him, he would cry something awful and arch his back. it was so hard to keep him close to me," she added. lou seemed to be in his own world and rarely even looked at his mother. he often rocked himself back and forth in his crib. aside from grunting noises, lou did not talk. as lou grew older, ms. dodson observed that he would get upset if there was even the smallest change in his routine. his favorite toy was his train set. his mother reported that lou was fascinated with the wheels and would spin them over and over. lou’s diagnosis is:

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: a.mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. b. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. c.mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. d.mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.

Methamphetamine (meth) is an addictive drug made chiefly in small toxic labs (stls) in homes, tents, barns, or hotel rooms. the manufacturing process is dangerous and often results in explosions, burns, and toxic fumes. government entities spend time and resources to find and destroy stls, imprison meth dealers and users, treat addicts, and provide services for affected families. meth cannot be made without ingredients that are also used in cold and allergy medications. arkansas has one of the highest numbers of stls in the united states. to recoup the costs of fighting the meth epidemic, twenty counties in arkansas filed a suit against pfizer, inc., which makes cold and allergy medications. what is pfizer's ethical responsibility here, and to whom is it owed? why?
