Example (Find the parts) First, social activists are continually improving the world for the better due to their relentless pursuit of justice for all. For example, since it’s conception America has been a racist state that persecuted it’s black population and denied them fundamental human rights. Social activists, like Martin Luther King and Malcom X refused to accept this and fought constant political, economic, and cultural battles in order to help their brethren. As a result of the actions of these activists, black people in America now have the right to vote, the right to attend any school, and the right to work. However, some may argue that despite these gains, America has reverted back to a point where black children attend terrible schools and have no chance at obtaining decent jobs. However, present-day activists like Michelle Alexander and Professor Michael Apple are working to improve these schools. These activists have helped to stop the unlawful imprisonment of black men and resulted in tremendous improvements in their education system.

Example Conclusion The justice secured by the social activists and the freedom delivered from disease and injury brought forth by inventions has improved the world for the better. Although throughout history there have always been people who have used inventions to harm others and advance their personal interests, there always more people who are willing to stand up and oppose them. Social Activists, leaders, and caring citizens will continue to fight to improve our education and economic systems, so eventually even these selfish individuals will not have a space to develop. The world passed on to the future will be better than the current one.
