Read the excerpt from the TED Talks presentation "I Am the Son of a Terrorist."
So why would I out myself and potentially put myself in danger? Well, that's simple. I do it in the hopes that perhaps someone someday
who is compelled to use violence may hear my story and realize
that there is a better way, that although I had been subjected to this
violent, intolerant ideology, that I did not become fanaticized.
Which option most accurately explains Zak Ebrahim's purpose in including this passage?
LAm the Son of a Terrorist
to provide a balanced viewpoint about his father's life by sharing his side of the story and what could have been done to save his
father
to explain his viewpoint that even people who commit violent crimes are not truly evil
to share with the public the idea that people must take responsibility for the actions of those in their family if their crimes could have
been prevented
O to share with the public the idea that those raised with violence can choose to reject it and to act with tolerance
