Nelson Mandela, Beyonce, And Mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi, King, and Mandela each fought for their causes with a method that was very rarely used but even less rarely successful. Their efforts at peaceful protest without retaliation to attacks were successful in overthrowing trans-continental rule and ending segregation of races. Gandhi transformed the idea of non-violence into a way to fight for freedom and justice which would ultimately end in success and

From the 1900’s through present day, equality and how to handle injustice situations have been hard. People all over the world struggle with being looked down upon or having rights that have been taken away because of racism, which can cause violence anywhere. In order for non-violence to be successful, the movement needs to have discipline, courage, and leadership because how you handle a situation is how you eliminate the problem. Nelson Mandela, Mohandas Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr have proven all of these steps to be true.

Our history and struggle has brought us to where we are now. We have been through a lot as a country to help make our nation the independent and free nation that it is today. We are where we are now because of the sacrifices that were made in the past. Many people fought and gave up their lives for the many rights that we are lucky to now have. We all owe them so much because without them, we would not be what we are today. Many people like Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B. Dubois, and John Brown fought for a cause that they thought was worth fighting for. No matter what it took, they kept their eye on the ball and fought for what was right. Now, I could sit here and tell you all the people who have helped shape America into the wonderful country that

“To deny people their right to human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanize them. But such has been the terrible fate of all black persons in our country under the system of apartheid (“In Nelson Mandela’s own words”). Nelson Mandela was a moral compass symbolizing the struggle against racial oppression. Nelson Mandela emerged from prison after twenty-seven years to lead his country to justice. For twenty-seven years he sat in a cell because he believed in a country without apartheid, a country with freedom and human rights. He fought for a country where all people were equal, treated with respect and given equal opportunity. Nelson Mandela looms large in the

The speaker of the first speech is John F. Kennedy, 35th president of the United States. President Kennedy was instrumental in improving relations with the USSR and improving civil rights in the US. He is seen as one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.

The life story of Nelson Mandela has long become a legend, a story that transcends race, borders, culture, or language. He is one of the greatest leaders to ever step foot on this Earth. He was willing to give up his own personal freedoms for the good of his people. Still, his decisions at major points in his lifetime hold lessons for individuals who are inspired of becoming good leaders. Many leaders are inspired by the actions and decision-makings abilities of Mandela. He kept the interest of others before his own. This is what made Nelson Mandela a great leader, and worthy of winning a Nobel Prize. From the decisions he made, and his life experiences while fighting for human rights, one can conclude that Mandela is truly

How would the country be, without Jackie Robinson, Melba Beals, and Helen Keller? These 3 people, were major parts in American history. Jackie and Melba paved the way for African-Americans. While Helen Keller proved, that even without seeing and hearing and just willpower and heart, you can accomplish anything. Jackie Robinson, Melba Beals, and Helen Keller all proved, if you tried hard enough and persevered, you could do anything you dreamed of, and changed the country while doing it.

It is hard to imagine someone who does not at least appreciate Beyoncé for what she is, a fierce woman who gives hope and life to not only little girls dreams but also boys and anyone else who is willing listen. She creates an atmosphere where anything is possible and people feed off of that. Countless times I have seen and heard people praising Queen B. This is what brings up the question, “whether the singer is a bona fide feminist or just a pop star cashing in on ‘girl power’”(Weiner). I would say it is the latter. It is great to have a woman such as Beyoncé be a ‘roles model’ for women and girls, young and old. But one must ask what is she tell the youth of today with her music. One might say she is telling females you can be powerful which I support a hundred percent. Another could say she is tell women to get what they want by using their body’s as sex symbols, which ok as well. I just do not think that being sexy is the right thing to teach young girl, to live up to. It is not

The three individuals my aunt admires from her generation is Mother Teresa, Pope Francis, and John F. Kennedy. Mother Teresa cared for the sick, poor, needy, and the helpless. Pope Francis is the current pope of the catholic church and lives by judging no person. John F. Kennedy was a strong leader and motivational speaker. He stated “mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.” Each of these individuals played a major role in shaping the individual that my aunt is today.

Nelson Mandela was an inspiring,peaceful protester that went to jail for is work of trying to ban the racial apartheid in South Africa.Furthermore, evidence that would back up my claim is “I saw that it was not just my freedom that was curtailed,but the freedom of everyone who looked like I did.”The statement show he wants freedom not for himself but all Africans living in South Africa this means he isn't selfish but selfless and thinks not for himself but for the greater good of others.Furthermore evidence that backs up my claim would be “When I walked out of prison,that was my mission to liberate oppressed and the oppressor both.”The evidence shows Mandela forgave his oppressor and holds no grudge against them, but his true goal was to end the

Nelson Mandela defended the rights of African-Americans in the pursuit towards the pinnacle of human equality, by giving encouraging speeches and protesting peacefully even though he could and was wrongly imprisoned.

Leaders.Every country has and needs them for important decisions and to help stop problems and maintain order. Without leaders we would have nothing in society but chaos and destruction. Leadership to people can mean many different things but to almost all people Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were both some of the best leaders known to man. And both of these incredible leaders were so impactful to their country that the had stories written about them. This is what we will be comparing and why Eulogy For Mahatma Gandhi is better than Long Walk to Freedom in persuading the audience about which one was a greater supporter of human rights. But they both are good in different ways. Gandhi inspired India to peacefully protest against Great Britain’s rule while Mandela became the first black president of South Africa and stopped segregation there. This will show why Jawaharlal Nehru’s Eulogy For Mahatma Gandhi is better than Nelson Mandela’s Long Walk to Freedom in persuading the reader that their person is a better supporter of human rights.

Mandela lived a long life and made so many differences for the people of today in

Nelson Mandela—former president of South African, a national hero who spent years being incarcerated and never stop fighting for justice and freedom. This man said: “For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Like many other great leaders, Mandela spent years on the path of freeing his people. It has been decades since the battle for freedom, are we truly living in a free world now? （Nelson Mandela: in his own words., 2013）

Human Rights activists have battled for decades to fight for equal rights. Without these people fighting against racism the world would be a much different place. This stands true for Desmond Tutu. Many Native South Africans were attacked, verbally and physically, because of their skin color. Many people did not see them as equals, so they treated them like they were animals not people. Desmond Tutu grew up watching the government discriminate his family and friends and wanted to do something about it. Tutu's unstoppable efforts helped pave the way for equality and created a lasting legacy for Tutu as a true revolutionary.
