Read the first part of "The World House" by Martin Luther King, Jr. and discuss how
King emphasizes and illustrates the importance of the following purposes of the
human race:
1) to transcend tribe, race,
class, nation, and religion to embrace the vision of a World House
2) to
eradicate at home and globally the Triple Evils of racism, poverty, and
militarism
3) to curb excessive materialism and shift from a "thing"-oriented
society to a "people"-oriented society
4) to resist social injustice and
resolve conflicts in the spirit of love embodied in the philosophy and methods
of nonviolence
Use this World House handout to guide your discussion and reading of
this piece.
