Malala Thesis

The article,”Malala the Powerful”, by Kristan Lewis, describes Malala a 15 year old girl who stood up to a terrorist group when she was threatened to death. Malala lived through one of the most tragic events of her life, getting shot by the Taliban. For many years the Taliban wanted to kill Malala. The Taliban ordered schools to close, girls not being able to sing or do any kind of music. In May of 2009, Malala, was identified and was put on the New York's Times documentary. She gave speeches and was on television. Though Malala lived through these challenges, she showed a lot of courage, fighting against the Taliban and everyone’s education.

"The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life, except this: weakness, fear, and hopelessness died. Strength, power, and courage was born" - Malala Yousafzai (“Malala Yousafzai”, Newsmakers). In 1997, Yousafzai was born in Swat Valley, a large Pakistani district, which later was overrun and governed by the Taliban. The Islamic fundamentalist group banned education for girls, but she did not let their threatening influence change her passion for education. Malala Yousafzai’s life was full of hardships, but with her dedication and perseverance, she was able to defy expectations and become an international symbol for women’s rights.

Imagine waking up and knowing you don’t have to go to school. It would be nice right away but when you walk outside and see the damage done to your city and people scared of dying every day. That is what my hero went through. Malala Yousafzai a survivor of a Taliban assassination was able to survive while on the brink of death and was able to make a difference in many young girls lives. If it weren't for Malala Yousafzai 's strong feminism stance, various books of her traumatic assassination attempt and girls education rights , the issue of girls rights would be less known about and helpful.

She quotes in the words of Booker T. Washington, “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which one has overcome.” In the text “I am Malala” Malala herself quotes, “My mother was in tears and my father said I had become everybody’s daughter.” She depicts how even though her life has shifted, her importance had bided the same. This is relevant to us today because it represents the fact that Malala had inspired and made a great influence on the people in the world. She’d changed the perspective of how we cope with our issues and reveals the key quality of surmounting

“They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in a home, school, or any other place” these are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, a human rights activist, and a Pakistani girl, who has traditions, stories, and a unique experience. She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and she lives up to her name as a heroine for girls education. Despite the cultural traditions of Malala Yousafzai’s community, she has grown as a world leader in spreading world peace throughout the globe, through her challenges, her accomplishments, and her growth in publicity, with her common goal being an education for all girls.

Personally, I believe education is the key to combating racism. We must education our peers on our cultures. We must explain that “colorblindness” in society is not what’s best. Only by embracing and recognizing each other differences we will be able to break the social bubbles we live in. I’ve gained a stronger sense of racial awareness through this course. I have the ability to challenge and change other people’s ideologies and understand my own. I know because of my social position have scholarships, financial aide and the values of hard work and education instilled in me by my parents and grandparents. I’m also aware that many people are not able to gain that same access. Because of my racial awareness there is so much more I want to find out about the contributing factors that led to my family’s social position in New Orleans. It is through my racial awareness I plan to beat the system.

In the book “I Am Malala” the author, Malala Yousafzai began the book by discussing how she was raised differently than all of the other girls. Her father treated her like she was a boy because he knew that Malala was destined for more than working in a kitchen at home all day. As Malala was growing up, her father was working on opening an all-girls school, which Malala would attend when she was of age. This later played out in Malala’s life as one of the reasons she was shot. In Malala’s culture, girls did not attend to school and get any other kind of education besides learning how to complete the basic life skills the females would need later in life.

Inspiration comes to all of us in countless different ways. In my life, there have been many people and things that have a big impact on me. It has to be Malala Yousafzai. She is one of those people that have made such a massive impression in life, Malala is ambitious.

One important step to reducing the racism in America is to include curriculum in all education programs that supports equality in the minds of the youth. Young children see and learn from the adults and teachers in their lives, so when a parent, teacher, or other significant other displays racist behavior, the child is likely to believe that other races are not as equal to his or her own race.

Do you know who Malala is or what she had done? Malala is a strong young adult who wanted education for girls. Her early childhood life change who she is now. She went through many tough. She went through many tough obstacles as a teenager, but she had many achievements.

What is a hero to you? You might think of superman or batman. Maybe you think of a police officer or a firefighter. What you may not think about is a ordinary girl from Pakistan who just wanted a change. The Taliban, a terrorist group in Pakistan, is working to ban education for girls. Malala Yousafzai demanded for a change and in return was shot in the head. Luckily, she survived. What I find sad about this is that she was shot because she believes in something different. This was heard about all over the world, and this news didn’t fade away. People started thinking of her as a hero. That got me thinking. What does it take to be a hero?

Bullet one, shoulder. Bullet two, neck. Bullet three, lights out. On October 9th 2011, Malala Yousafzai took 3 bullets from a Taliban gun, at only 15, for what she loved, the education of girls. But, she didn’t let what happened keep her from fighting for all girls to have education. With the assistance of many facial surgeries, physical therapy, and top notch care from hospital personnel at a UK hospital, she was able to put on her backpack on again a little under a year later to continue her fight to get education for young girls everywhere. The Taliban wasn’t going to silence her.

All in all, racism is something that should have not happen and it’s sad that it did and still does. Though it has gone through many stages, America progressed in trying to get better and show everyone that they are equal. People can also find ways to remove racism completely. If the old generations stop passing on racism to the new generations it would be a step to ending racism.

It is time to take action. Not only in our own lives, but in the lives of the children. There has been attempts, there has been success, and there has been failure. Many people have ways in which they believe will help reduce racism. But which is the right way, the best way? According to Barbara Hacker, author of "Advice for Teachers on Racism and Oneness," it is up to the educators. She believes teachers can make a difference in the lives of his or her students.

While there are many causes and effects of racism in children, I believe causes start at home. Children may think if their parents, the president, and other influential people are making racist comments, why can’t I? Children should be taught to love everyone, including those who are different. If we start teaching this to young children, I truly believe it would make an impact on this
