    1. groups tend to be more immoral thanindividuals.

      People tend to be immoral in groups because they are convinced that what their doing is okay or they just don't want to be ostracized. People are proven to have a sheep or herd mentality which means they act on emotion, rather than rational thoughts. When individuals are affected by mob mentality, they typically make different decisions than what they would have individually.

    2. live in monologue rather thandialogue

      I think that this means that people where doing a lot of talking but not engaging in conversation with the opposing side.

There will also be a lack of understanding why people are doing things because they have not tried to talk to or listen to the civil rights people at the time.

Going to jail is a serious thing that they had to face and having to do that when they did not deserve it tells us how much they went through just to try to get equal treatment.

    5. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never beconsidered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.

      This is very true and it still stands true today. The United States is a place where people are supposed to be treated equal no matter where they come from but this is not always the case so I agree that no one should be considered an outsider where they call home.

    6. cognizant of the interrelatedness

      This means knowing the connections or relations of all the communities and states. It helps create an impartial, yet intellectual tone.
