Malala Yousafzai: Address To The United Youth Assembly

Malala Yousafzai uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos to express the immorality of Pakistani government which coaxes the U.N. to allow women basic rights. Everybody should be granted the right to education, no matter race, gender, or religion. Malala pleads to the U.N. to allow her an education. During her presentation at the U.N. meeting, Malala appeals to the emotions of the representatives of various countries by discussing heartbreaking topics such as terrorism, war, and most brutally, death. While fighting for their basic rights, Yousafzai stated, “thousands

Before Malala Yousafzai took a stand for children’s rights, countries throughout the Middle East were brutally oppressed by the Taliban. The Taliban are a radically militant Islamic movement that controlled some ninety percent of Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 (“The Taliban Once Ruled”). In 2007, a faction of the Taliban regrouped across the border in Pakistan, invading northern cities including Mingora, a region in Swat Valley. These fundamentalist terrorists were brutal and rapidly became the dominant socio-political force in northern Pakistan (“Education in Pakistan”). The Taliban executed those who resisted and didn’t follow their harsh laws. According to a resident of Swat Valley, “we were very scared of them. Our education system was totally

As a teenager, it is easy to feel lost, hide in the crowd, and then lose our voice. Malala Yousafzai inspires us to be courageous. She bravely spoke of her opinion and stood up for her education.

“It is an honor for me that today I am wearing a shawl of the late Benazir Bhutto.” (Yousafzai 1). Malala to some may be a symbol of a strong hero, but we must not forget the phrase she uses multiple times, “brothers and sisters” (Yousafzai 1) which she says in almost every paragraph, reminding the listeners of what Malala ultimately is a symbol of, which is the children. She states that knowledge can defeat terrorism and tries to get us not to forget the phrase “only one book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world” (Yousafzai 2).

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

They think that God is a tiny, little conservative being who would send girls to hell just because of going to school. The terrorists are misusing the name of Islam and Pashtun society for their own personal beliefs.” This quote shows the audience why the terrorists do crimes and mass murders, and Malala Yousafzai is teaching her audience to be forgiving and use words and

Malala is one of the present day fighters for justice who will make the future brighter and better. In the past, Nelson Mandela had similar ways of achieving his goal for justice.
