Role of an individual in confronting injustice **Injustice:** In Chapter 14 Injustice is seen by a single family being turned off their land and replaced by a tractor. Man needs to live and work for a purpose ( money, family, food etc.). The government makes it also very harsh for these individuals by imposing high taxes for their already low income. The machine replaces their hard labor work, a machine can do what at least 8 men can thats roughly about sixteen people if you consider the women and the man in the family.

//Is a tractor bad? Is the power that turns the long furrows wrong? If this tractor were ours, it would be good - not mine, but ours. We could love that tractor then as we have loved this land when it was ours. But this tractor does two things - it turns the land and turns us off the land. There is little difference between this tractor and a tank. The people were driven, intimidated, hurt by both. We must think about this.//

The people do not have a choice but to leave the land and obey their superiors (landowners). This demonstrates how the tractor rids the people off the land and how the people think if the tractor was on their side good things would have happened.


 * Confronting Injustice:** Any man with these needs of working that is taken away, will be willing to fight. They can strike at the government and the taxes. These individuals take matters into their own hands by protesting to the landowners or their superiors//.// The only way the people can overcome this injustice is if they come together as a group because there is streghth in numbers, and with this collaboration they can overcome injustice.

//Fear the time when the strikes stop while the great owners live - for every little beaten strike is proof that the step is being taken … fear the time when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is the foundation of Manself, and this one quality is man, distinctive in the universe.//
