Mahatma Gandhi And Bhagat Singh

What makes a great leader? Two great leaders from this century were Eleanor Roosevelt and Martin Luther King Jr. Despite their difference in gender and race and didn 't have political experiences. Martin Luther King Jr. was an African-American, Baptist minister, who was born on January 15, 1968. He lead the civil rights movement. Eleanor Roosevelt, who was born on October 11, 1884, was an influential a First Lady. She was a great social reformer and she was a beyond educated well and came from her wealthy family as well. Both had successful leadership qualities: empathy, conceptualization, and ability to build community.

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were pioneers in America’s Civil Rights Movement, with the goal of protecting and developing the black community. They wanted to achieve the same goal but, with very different approaches. While King was more of the “peaceful protesting” type, X was the “eye for an eye” type, in the beginning of his journey. Both of these men demanded respect and acquired it. Their wives Coretta Scott King and Betty Dean Sanders took over their legacies after their passing. Each of these men left a mark on society. With a powerful speaking presence The “I Have a Dream” and “The Chickens Come Home to Roost” speeches have prevailed throughout generations.

Mohandas Gandhi was born in 1869 in the Indian coastal city of Porbandar (Background Essay). He then studied law in London, where he noticed that Indians were expected to imitate their rulers, the Englishmen (Background Essay). Gandhi wanted all people to live free, even those imposed by India’s caste system so he decided to take action in a peaceful manner (Background Essay). By doing so he was able to gain India’s independence in 1947 (Background Essay). This caused Gandhi to be known as “ Mahatma” or “ Great Soul” because he was able to do it without violence (Background Essay). Gandhi’s nonviolent movement worked because he accepted the consequences to his actions, strived for fairness to all mankind, and didn’t think of the British as enemies.

Mohandas Gandhi was the first recorded individual to adopt a non-violent method based form for change. His primary objective was for people of all ethnicities and social class to live freely amongst each other, even those inflicted upon by India’s ancient caste system.

Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, politician, social activist and writer who would lead the independence movement of India to free the country of British rule (“Mahatma Gandhi,” 2017). He would prove that a single person could change the course of history and take on the entire British Empire. Gandhi’s principles of nonviolence and civil disobedience are attributed to his success in gaining independence for India. The act of passive resistance allowed Gandhi to generate more support for his movement for independence while making it difficult for the British to find reasons to arrest them. He argued that although violence could be more effective than peaceful

To begin with, in the middle of Gandhi's speech, he attempts to prove non violence is the most effective way to approach the movement and he does this by appealing to the audience's emotions using abstract diction. He exclaims, “In a violent struggle, a successful General has been often known to effect a military coup and to set up a dictatorship.” He first announces “ In a violent struggle” , which can trigger the audience's curiosity and make them want to hear his reasoning on why violence is not right. Taking this a little further, he uses the word “struggle” to extract the audience’s pain and sorrow, two emotions they would like to avoid. When Gandhi associates violence and struggle, he is making the audience remove themselves from harming others, by not participating in harmful day to day acts or year long movements. Audience members want to disassociate themselves from

Throughout history there have been indelible leaders that have helped shape our country such as Adolf Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Two men that changed the world, One a man of mass destruction and hate and the other a man of great ideas to get America through its hardest times.Those men are Adolf Hitler and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Fdr was born in new york to a wealthy family in 1882. He also went to harvard to study law. He married then was the senator and governor for new york, then a navy secretary before becoming the president. Hitler was born in Austria. He wanted to become a painter, when he applied for a school of art he was denied. His parents were both deceased now so he moved in search for more art. Having spent most of his parents inheritance money he had to live in homeless shelters. Hitler and FDR were both memorable leaders, they were similar being able to accomplish so much, they were comparably extraordinary public speakers, and very different in what they believed in such as what they thought was right or wrong. The first leader that will be discussed and explicated about their accomplishments, and public speaking abilities is Adolf Hitler.

Throughout history, many conflicts have happened, some with resolution, and other without. We often tend to think of solving conflicts with war, since most of our history classes are based around World War I, World War II, and so forth, but many conflicts were fought, and successfully won using nonviolent resistance. Many people would use Gandhi as a well known example. Gandhi’s plan of civil disobedience revolved around this big idea called “satyagraha,” which he explains as, “a satyagrahi should always possess civility and humility, qualities that indicated self-control and an humble approach to truth” (Gandhi 50). He later explains that satyagraha is “truth-force” and that truth is soul and spirit, or “spirit-force.” “It excludes the use of violence because man is not capable of knowing the absolute truth and, therefore, not competent to punish” (51). He used this strategy to fight for indian independence. Many other incidents in the world have been fought using civil disobedience, including Women’s Suffrage.

Throughout World War II there were two dictators who stand out, Hitler and Stalin. Hitler was a dictator in Germany and brought death too many people who he did not considered pure blood. Stalin was a Soviet Union dictator, who killed many peasants. Stalin and Hitler’s history is different from each other. At one point history make them alike. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were different men, from different countries, enemies that had the same goal, and become powerful leaders of their country

When Gandhi was trying to prove a point he did two main things, he would get arrested or he would stop eating. One of the main ways he got the Indians to stop using violence against the English was through not eating. He would not eat for days and sometimes weeks just to get his people to stop fighting. Although the founding father of civil disobedience was Henry David Thoreau but Gandhi was the first to really adopt the lifestyle of non-violence, he took constant beatings to show that being violent wa snot the answer. There was two different ways that Gandhi looked at violence, passive and physical. Passive meaning that you get under someone's skin and provoke the physical violence from the person. Physical obviously meaning physically harming someone or something. Gandhi used the term “Ahimsa”, which translates to nonviolence in english, when talking about nonviolence. The term means that no violence is okay passive nor physical. Gandhi also believed that violence was not a natural thing of humans, he believed it was learned through experience.

Many people around the world still suffer from social injustice and subject to many forms of discrimination. Governments violate human rights when they deny their own citizens the freedom of assembly, freedom of expression, and the right to vote. When the governments prohibit an individual to criticize the government for its human rights violation, the governments in turn violate universal rule of laws. Governments also commit crimes against humanity when they use brute force to suppress people. Accordingly, Dr. King Jr. believed that citizens shouldn’t abide to the laws that cause social injustices and division among people. Gandhi advocated a more direct civil disobedience against the British laws that enslave the Indian. At the

When we hear about Black History Month, it is a reminder for why African Americans are here and why the way we are today. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X are two very great examples and representations for this. What people do not realize is that there are a lot of similarities and differences between Malcolm and Martin. Martin was born and raised as a middle classes men and was extremely educated. On the other hand, Malcolm was not raised like Malcolm at all. Malcolm grew up in a deplorable environment and no school was around for Malcolm.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Ho Chi Minh are the leaders of national independent movements from late 19th to early 20th century. Both of them defeated the colonial rulers and won national independence. This paper will talk about the influences of ideas and circumstances, the goals that they wanted to get and the historical significance of their behaviors.

When Gandhi referred to his movement as an aggressive one, he was not talking about violence, he was figuratively speaking, meaning that their aggression will consist on a unstoppable non-violent movement that will

Throughout history, many political leaders have transcendental ideas and beliefs, such as Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela, but there are many that do not conform to transcendental ideas, such as Alexander Hamilton and Joseph Stalin. It can also be noted that those who have transcendental ideas are 20th-century thinkers and politicians while those who are not transcendentalist thinker are 18th-century politicians. People such as Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela had their political career after the nineteenth-century transcendentalist movement, while Alexander Hamilton had his political career prior to the movement. Joseph Stalin is different, his political philosophy he follows was created at the same time as the
