Muhammad Ali Then and Now
My group was assigned: Muhammad Ali Then and NowWe got in a group and discussed three topics and how they related to the article.
- Religion
- Race
- Psychology
Religion
There were several instances that brought up Ali's religion. Two of them needed to be noted. The first was his name change. Ali's influence and belief in the Muslim religion sparked this change of name. The second was when Ali refused to be drafted. He believed so much in his cause that he allowed his title to be stripped from him.
Race
Ali grew up in a time and area that was still racially sensitive. His comedy and joking reflect his view on society. His overall jokingness allows us to peer into a deeper side of his views on race.
Psychology
Ali's had the mentality of a champion. This was not something learned. From a very early age Ali was not doubting of his abilities and what he was going to achieve. He was said to quote have " control over emotion, great vitality, showmanship, charm."
