I Am Malala And Nigel Cole's Film Made In

An unlikely promiscuous figure became the pinnacle of peace and equality. This figure is Malala Yousafzai, a driven girl from the valley of Swat in Pakistan, stood up against her peers and spoke out against an imposed custom on girls. Malala’s endeavours began with the introduction of the Taliban within Pakistan. Now ran by tyranny, Pakistan became a place of oppression, especially against the rights of females. Malala and her father, Ziauddin, were among the very sparse population of activists within Pakistan, advocating against the Taliban’s influence. Malala effectively expresses her story by utilizing rhetorical devices such as evocative imagery, juxtaposition and ethos.

How do ‘I am Malala’ and ‘ Made in Dagenham’ explore the importance of speaking out against injustice

In conjunction with Charlie, Malala Yousafzai discovers that the world is truly not a wish granting factory, when her home town of Mingora in Pakistan fell under Taliban rule; her brave acts of courage made her a power symbol for women and children everywhere. Change is essential to our evolution. It allowed for Malala to see that the world needed change in order for it to move forward, because the reality is that if we do nothing, it will take until 2086 before all rural African girls can have a secondary education. Malala Yousafzai’s

The first people we truly know are our families. At the beginning of our lives, we are completely reliant on them for the most basic needs. As one gets older, they gain independence and families provide less for physical needs; however, mental needs, such as support and encouragement, Families also have the biggest influence over their children’s political opinions and how politically involved they are. Families also determine what types of culture their children are exposed to. Looking at the books I am Malala and A Long Way Gone, we are able to see that Malala and Ishmael experience much different experiences in making social change. Malala, from I am Malala, had the support of her family and made enormous strides in fighting for education for women; whereas, Ishmael, from A Long Way Gone, did not have a family to support him, but still managed to give child soldiers a voice. With this being said, Malala and Ishmael are similar in that they were both exposed to Western culture. The extent a family supports their child and the child’s exposure to Western culture greatly affects the magnitude of social change the child could achieve. We will start by looking at Western culture and then we will further examine family encouragement.

As a young girl Malala proves to be extremely outspoken and passionate about acting for change. Fully aware of the possible dangers she will have to face, she proves her courage by refusing to give up her rights. As the Tailban instill fear in the people of Swat, many of Malala’s classmates fail to return to school, but Malala shows great courage and persistence by continuing to go for as long as possible. In addition, she bravely speaks out against the Tailban through events and rallies, on TV channels and radio stations, and in newspapers and magazines. By writing diary entries for the BBC, Malala gives the public a glimpse into the everyday injustices faced by women and girls in Swat. Speaking in interviews allows Malala to express her feelings

Malala Yousafzai begins her story as a young girl who lives in Swat Valley, Pakistan as a teenager she becomes extremely outspoken about her beliefs of women’s rights and education. In the process of standing up for what she believes in the Taliban targets her, tracks her down, and shoots her in the head. I Am Malala, written by Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb is an autobiography about Malala’s life from when she was a small girl to her teenage years. Malala, the protagonist of this story may be described as determined, brave, and intelligent.

“I speak- not for myself, but for all girls and boys. I raise up my voice, for those without a voice can be heard.” Malala once spoke these words hoping to encourage more young girls and boys to speak up for what they believe. In Malala’s case she was standing up, and still is, for girls all over the world to have an education. Since Malala was young, she has had a strong interest in politics and education. These interests have led her to many achievements, which greatly affects the world today.

Throughout the span of the human race, many people and organization have stood up for the right of others. Some scientists raced against time to produce vaccines that saved millions if not billions of lives. On the other hand, many speakers traveled across the globe to promote individual’s freedom and rights. In wartime, more people regardless of their backgrounds worked tirelessly to save lives of many individuals who faced genocide. Undoubtedly, history has foretold that at any moment in time, people are working tremendously so that other people may have a better world to live. Regarding education, Malala Yousafzai, known as Malala, has put all her efforts in promoting education to every child living on earth. She was a target of an insurgent group, but now she is the savior of many children. Thanks to her works, many children now have an education which they have never once dreamed they would have. Her moral courage will be a legacy that she leaves for humans.

In contrast, Malala’s attempt to create social change was far more dangerous. Malala and many other girls in Pakistan are denied the right to education when the Taliban seize power in the Swat Valley, Pakistan. Malala’s struggle takes place in contemporary Pakistan where speaking out is considered very dangerous. The memoir revels the destruction of Pakistan founder, Ali Jinnah’s original vision of a ‘land of tolerance’ by increasing Islamisation; two military dictatorships ; corrupt politicians, poverty, illiteracy and the rise of the ‘forces of militancy and extremism’ exemplified by the Taliban, who was led by Maulana Fazlullah and the imposition of terror and fear under the guise of sharia law. The repression of individual freedom made people fearful to speak out. The Taliban had banned women from going ‘outside without a male relative to accompany (them)’ and told people ‘stop listening to music, watching movies and dancing’. The Taliban had ‘blown up 400 schools’ and had held public whippings demonstrated the consequences of disobedience, as did the execution of ‘infidels’ like young dancer, Shabana, whose body was dumped in the public square. Both texts, however more so Malala than Rita reveal that speaking out in a volatile and dangerous political environment does involve more risks, but is essential for change to occur.

Malala Yousafzai was a talented and brave young woman who had one goal in life: to get an education and encourage others to do the same. Born in Pakistan, Malala did not grow up with many resources, but she was lucky enough to have a father that shared the same goal as her. At the young age of fifteen, she was shot in the face by the Taliban for standing up for girls’ rights to an education. Although the recovery time was long and hard, the Taliban did not silence her as she continued her campaign. This eventually led her to opening her own school in Yemen and writing the novel I Am Malala. As someone who highly values education and bravery, her story made me interested in learning more about her culture, family, and experiences.

Malala mentions many women in her book those who have been targeted wounded or even killed because they chose to speak out against the corrupt. Malala mentions Malalai the person who she named after, who was killed but inspired troops to fight and  Benazir Bhutto who was the first democratically elected leader of Pakistan who inspired women to speak out. Malala are like these icons in many different ways but how are they different? How do the lives of these women parallel each other? How do the fates of Malalai of Maiwand and Benazir Bhutto foreshadow Malala’s fate? These are the questions I will be answering in this essay.

I’ve always wondered what led people to commit the actions they commit? Or what leads them to even think the way that they do so vigorously? “I am Malala” written by Malala herself, has answered the many questions we all have in life,and has come to the conclusion that is; “don't wait for someone to speak up for you, speak up for yourself.” - Malala Yousafzai. I have come to a realization that analyzing “I Am Malala” through a feminist lens is the most suitable and suggestible when reading the novel in order to enhance one's understanding of the text.

Malala Yousafzai’s home town in the Swat Valley of Pakistan is where her journey first takes place where oppression against womens education is enforced by Taliban rule. The Taliban staunchly opposed Malala’s fierce beliefs in the right for women to have an education and they did their best to silence her voice. Malala and the other women in the Swat Valley were forced to obey their oppressive regime and not gain an education. Despite the harsh climate against her Malala spoke up against this tyranny with the faith that she could cause a change for the better. Unfortunately due to this she was singled out and faced severe retaliation. A Taliban gunman stopped her school bus and proclaimed that she must be punished for insulting the

In “I am Malala,” Malala Yousafzai explores the idea that education empowers women to stand up for their rights, so that they can have a positive future.

Since the first time that I looked through the syllabus I knew that I had two books in my mind that I wanted to read: “I’m Malala” and “Trafficked.” However, I already knew Malala, not her entire story or the obstacles she had to overcome, but I knew how brave she was. My decision to pick “I’m Malala” was based on my curiosity to understand Malala’s story and my admiration for her. I wanted to understand how, when, and why she was shot for fighting for something that in my reality seems to be a right of any human being: access to education. Also, how a young girl can have this mentality and courage to fight against an entire culture and system. Now that I finished the book, I understand Malala and I truly believe she is a special human being. I respect not only her but her family who so bravely was able to teach her values and give her pieces of advice which did not correspond to the same values that Pakistan’s culture wants that, especially a woman, to have. In this analysis, I will be using the following terms: empathy, perception, categorization, macroculture, microculture, muted group, power, human rights, ethnocentrism, and discrimination.
