Mahatma Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai - Two People Changing The Human Population and The Way We Live
Today human beings are taking freedom and peace for granted. We are experiencing it every day and does not think of how or why we are surrounded by peace. We are born in a society unknown to war and such, and does therefore have trouble understanding what peace is. The last world war ended in 1945, and the world has not seen or experienced much violence and malice since. This makes the human population far too less grateful for our freedom, and unknown to heroes such as Mahatma Gandhi and Malala Yousafzai. They have always been described as front figures and people making a difference. Since the start of their lives, they have fought for something they have believed in. Malala Yousafzai and Mahatma Gandhi have mainly fought in India, but inspired people around the world. How would our worlds society be without these two, idols of our time?
India were under British rule in 89 years. The Indians were treated like animals, had to pay extremely high taxes and lost in some cases, everything they owned. Mahatma Gandhi is known for his non-violence campaign to release India from the

Women and children around the world are now fighting for an education, and people are now willing to fight for a more equal society. These are great examples of how one person can inspire people from all over the world not pleased with their situation of life. Now societies around the world are more aware of equal rights to every human being, and ethnicity and religion has become less and less important. And thanks to Mahatma Gandhi India and Pakistan are completely independent from the British empire. The world is moving in the right direction, evolving and adapting - thanks to front figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Malala
This world is in need of heroes, big or small, to change the world and make it a better place for the future. Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Harriet Tubman in America, and Malala Yousafzai in Pakistan, rose up in their society from the support of their advocates to the hero by changing something in the world and inspiring others to fight for a cause. Even though these individuals fought to enact change in this world for different causes, they all worked to make it a better future for others.
There are many people who have made history in this world. Some people like Thomas Edison or George Washington. Today I am going to be talking about Barack Obama and Malala Yousafzai. They both have had obstacles in their way and they have earned many achievements because they have overcome those obstacles.
After reading the book ‘’I Am Malala’’ I noticed that she was one of the bravest strong young girls in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young girl born on July 12, 1997, in the city, Mingora in Pakistan. She fought for something that is she is passionate about. Heroes are people who stand up for something, they are courageous, they are noble and they are loyal to something they stand for. Malala is known as the fifteen-year-old girl who got shot because she fought for women’s rights and education. This young girl named Malala is brave, persistent, and influential.
Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani Women’s Right Activist, is known for her fight against Educational rights, especially for women. Malala is an example we should all follow. She has shown perseverance throughout her whole life. “Malala Yousafzai defied the Taliban in Pakistan and demanded that girls be allowed to receive an education.” Malala didn’t listen to them and kept quite like everyone else, instead she fought. “When the whole world is silent, even one voice become powerful.” Malala believed that education is important, and no one has right to steal that from her, or anyone else. “She was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in 2012” because she was working against the Taliban. She survived this attacked and moved to England. Even after being
Have you ever thought that the world was an unfair place? Have you ever knew that you would take a bullet just to make things right? have you ever thought or knew that you would die so you could make the world a better place? Well, these three people do. Some people may be ashamed or skeptical for what these three people do. Many people are grateful and blessed to have these people in their world. So, without further ado, get ready to hear the stories of Alex lin, Iqbal masih, and Malala Yousafzai .
Finally, the last activist: Malala yousafzai is one of the most bravest activist out of the two other activists that is listed above. It all started when the Taliban came to swat valley in 2004. They then showed the real power of terrorism in 2007. The people that are in swat valley have seen very bad days in life. Malala's story starts when she sees all of this madness and darkness in swat valley. She tries to get her voice on media channels, tv shows, websites and says to everyone that we need to fight against terrorism. When the Taliban closed down all of the schools Malala started to fight for education. To help her with this her dad was most helpful in support of girls education. The Taliban closed down the schools because they believed
”Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” (Winston Churchill) In times when one’s faith is shaken, standing one’s ground can be difficult. However, in these dire circumstances, some endure and fight in spite of adversity. Malala Yousafzai, survivor of a Taliban shooting, and Sam Houston, hero of San Jacinto, both displayed these traits. They fought without any regards to public opinion; Sam Houston defended his ideologies, whereas Malala fought for her rights, but they both sacrificed their wants for the cause. Despite their differences, Malala Yousafzai and Sam Houston both exhibited their fierce tenacity and courage as they gritted through their struggles.
A chapter in history can start by the acts of one powerful, passionate, and intelligent human being. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. are great examples of individuals that turned the tide of history. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were similar in many ways; they both believe that non-violent methods were more effective and efficient, they both believed in equality, giving people second chances and forgiveness. Though they had many similarities there was one key difference that differentiated the two, their religion. “Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind.
The first person I am going to tell you about is Malala Yousafzai. Malala Yousafzai is an Indian person who got shot point blank in the head by an organization called taliban and survived. Malala has inspired a great deal of people. Malala’s cause was to have girls go to school. Malala also has something called the Malala Fund which is a thing so that people can spend all their money on this person who wants to help people on tv.
We have to thank certain individuals who express and spread their own opinions and ideas for all the change that has happened over the last few decades because it is the only way that society progresses. For instance, an influential figure and activist, Malala Yousafzai, has been using her voice to reach out and make a huge difference in the world. Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for female education and the youngest Nobel Prize laureate. She lived in a place called Swat Valley where Taliban militants would ban many things and would enforce harsh punishments for those who don’t follow orders. In early 2009, Taliban militants prohibited girls from going to school and getting an education. Malala, believing that this was unfair, began blogging for the BBC about living under the Taliban’s threats and went under the name of “Gul Makai” to protect her identity. With a growing platform, Yousafzai continued to speak about the right that all women have to receive an education. Then, Malala and her family found out that the Taliban issued a death threat due to her activism. One day when Malala was riding the bus on her way home from school, a masked gunman shot her in the left side of her head which injured
Two female, different goals, both change the world for female, Amelia Earhart and Malala Yousafzai are two females who both have contributed to our history. They both changed the world for the female history. Amelia is a pilot with a goal of flight, on the other hand Malala is a child activist for female education. They may be different, but they both changed the world for the greater of life.
One teen activist that changes the world is Malala Yousafzai. Malala is a young girl who believes that everyone should go to school even if they are a girl. She comes from a small town in Swat Valley in Mingora were girls can’t go to school like boys. Therefore, she started to take a stand and got the attention of a terrorist group call the Taliban they didn't want girls to go to school in the first place, they didn't like Malala’s stand. The Taliban thinks that it would be educating the whole family and the Taliban wouldn't have much control. According to the book “Malala Yousafzai,” the Taliban tried to assassinate her, they hoped on a bus and asked the bus driver who was Malala no one answered but they glared at Malala, they fired the gun 3 times, they shot her in the head right above her eyebrow, it went through her head and in the shoulder, the other bullets wounded her friends. She got paralyzed on the left side. Many people didn’t think that she wouldn’t survive. One day a miracle happened and she finally woke up. Her dad told her to stop but she didn’t keep quiet. This shows that Malala is brave because she didn't stop she tried all she can to keep going.
World-wide legend, Martin Luther King, displays his gentle spirit when he describes how the world should think when he talks about driving out hate with love. If you think about it, how many people have the heart to love their enemies even when they have done you wrong? It’s extremely important to treat one another with nothing but pure love, generosity, and care. After all, we only have each other in this world. We may as well get along. However, it takes an extremely mature, smart, and loving person to do such a thing, two of which include Martin Luther King himself as well as Malala Yousafzai. This young woman had portrayed an exceptional amount of love towards the Taliban who shot her when she says, “Even if there is a gun in my hand and stands in front of me, I would not shoot him.” You can clearly see how strong-minded she is after she makes much a bold statement.
Malala Yousafzai, simply stated, is remarkable. She is unafraid to speak her mind, despite the penalties she might face. In her book, Malala says, “When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful”. When I first read that line, I stared at the page and thought back to all of the oppressive eras in the world’s past that I had learned about in my history classes and thought to myself, history is happening now, it’s always happening. It’s not just a page in some dusty textbook, it’s a book with never-ending pages filled with amazing people like Malala.
The world is never going to stay the same; it’s always changing and encountering new problems and discoveries. Along with the changes in the world, people change as well, but the reason why is often not found. Many people change because of the environment they are in and what’s currently going on in society. Women over the last few decades like Malala, Anne Frank, and Audrey Hepburn have been able to make a difference in society due to many factors like Women’s Rights, Democratic Restoration along with Poverty and Starvation from Nazi invasions.
