Three Cups Of Tea Analysis

Education had been completely banned for girls, and boys limited to learning the Quran when the Taliban entered Afghanistan. Latifa and her friend Farida had ‘lived this closeted life’ in which they do ‘nothing at all’ and they both thought they should pass on the knowledge they had acquired. Inspired by the bravery of their former teacher Mrs Fawzia who had set up a secret school but was then caught by the Taliban in the middle of teaching (her pupils were beaten, and she was thrown down the stairs causing her leg to break and then thrown into jail), Latifa, Farida, Maryam and another one of their friends (unnamed) set up a school where they teach mathematics, reading, writing, history and English in their own homes. The girls, their families, and neighbours all work together to ensure the school runs safely and smoothly, each person contributing one way or another, from gathering school supplies to keeping lookout for the Taliban. The creation of the school shows incredible bravery and resilience of the families’ human spirit in that they decided to all work together to give an education to their children, even though they could be caught and executed by the Taliban. By creating the school, their lives were transformed for the better because they had a focus and a purpose in their

Activist, Malala Yousafzai in her book “I Am Malala,” delineates that the Taliban were going around depriving young women from their education and how she stands up and fights for young women and herself to stay and go to school. Malala’s purpose is to exude the idea that education is a basic human right and that no one should be deprived from it. She adopts a sentimental tone in order to get to her audience. In her book she uses many emotional appeals, logical appeals, she uses credibility, and imagery. Malala stood up for what she believed in, she may be inspiring her readers to never give in to something they don’t think is right.

In the past recent years, there has been a lot of talk about the issues with the Taliban and those who have suffered. One of the most commonly heard of stories, is the story of a young girl who stood up for all girls trying to earn an education in a country that has made this next to impossible. This book shows a real insight to the life of a hero, which humbles readers. A major theme in this book is courage. This book relates to our studies in Sociology this semester through education, and gender discrimination.

In 2011, 24-year-old Joe DeNenno traveled to Afghanistan with the intent to change the lives of the children in the Zhari District. He teamed up with the local security forces and government officials to build new schools throughout the district to improve the education for local children. One billion dollars went towards the funding of schools and rise of education in Afghanistan. But nearly four years later, one would not be able to see a difference between the schools and a town that's been hit by a category 3 hurricane. From leaky roofs to cut up doors, the schools were no longer a place for education but rather a place for warlords to inhabit. Over 50 American funded schools were now battlefield provinces. These runned down schools were

With the Taliban beginning its reigns on Afghanistan, darkness took over the nation. Terror became a more common installment into the minds of the citizens. Hearing the rumble of the jeeps, the bangs of the AK-47s, and the bombs setting off can send a shiver down anyone’s back. Families are torn apart, children forget what play time is, schools are destroyed. The injustice that the Taliban brought is defined through the cruelest of actions. “There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.” (Hosseini, 1) With their regime, the Taliban established radical rules that limited the country to all but making the essential function of speaking, barely legal. The effect of the Taliban begin to spread specifically towards Amir and his family. With the beginning the war, Amir sees his

Greg Mortenson’s text 3 cups of tea impacted women's rights and education in the Middle East. In this book the author ( Greg Mortenson) try's to fight terrorism by promoting women education in the Middle East. This book takes place in the middle. One of the most impactful

Tea was declared the National Drink of England in 1784. The eighteenth century saw the transformation of tea as an everyday necessity for the poor and working class of the British society. To meet the domestic demand at home, the British East India Company imported great volumes of tea from China. The tea import increased from an estimated 64 tons in 1711 to 6800 tons in 1791. Even heavy import tax could not deter an increasingly expanding domestic market for the Chinese tea. As tea drinking had become obsession with the British society, consumption of tea replaced home-brewed beer, gin, milk and traditional infusions of indigenous plants. This great transformation in the consumption pattern of British society led to the commodification of

Because of this, Clover went to go an animal that can read only to discover that the commandment now read, “No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets.’’ (Page 67) The pigs easily convince the animals that the rule was never changed due to the lack of any intelligence in the animals. Malala Yousafazai’s speech at the United Nations correlates to the theme education is used to gain power. She mentioned that her and her friends, “realized the importance of pens and books when we saw guns.” Malala addresses in this statement that even in the face of death and uncertainty, education and knowledge is powerful. With this idea of knowledge being a weapon to counter terrorism, the Taliban is preventing women from attending school because, “The power of education scares them.”. The taliban and Malala both understand the true power of education and they both will stop at nothing to obtain it. In conclusion, both texts convey the topics of education and knowledge in ways that represent the theme that education is used to gain

More teachers and students leave school every day because they are afraid of being killed while attending school. Violence is one of the main reason why people stop doing anything in Pakistan. Although the Taliban weren’t the ones to build the schools without walls, water or bathrooms, they are a reason why kids aren’t attending school. They may thing they are doing the right thing, but they are letting their kids down without even noticing. Yousafzai states, “A bomb and a grenade were tossed into the school playground just as a prize-giving ceremony was about to start” (Yousafsai 312). The Taliban don’t realize how big of an important thing is to be illiterate, but they will never understand because of the missed education and ignorance. That’s also why they will realize that girl’s education is as important as boy’s

Malala Yousafzai’s is a women’s activist for youth education, but primarily for girls. On July 12th, 2013, she delivered an address at the Youth Takeover of the United Nation. This speech is powerful, eye opening and deserves to be heard. She is addressing two audiences, one being the people that follow her same belief for education, some of those people would be at this convention and the other being the people that disagree with her purpose, like the Taliban. Yousafzai was in 1997, in Mingora, Pakistan, which used to be a popular tourist destination. As of now the region has been taken into control of the Taliban. Her father is also an anti- Taliban activist and educator. She, her father and tons of others just want thing to be like they used to. Where they had a safe neighborhood and didn't have to worry about violence. She delivered a speech riddled with excellent use of rhetoric to convey her argument. Malala’s whole purpose for her fight for education of the youth is so that it will stop future violence, She displays this purpose in her speech by using outward focus, compassion and personal experience to her audiences.

“By the end of 2008, around 400 schools had been destroyed by the Taliban” (Yousafzai pg. 144). “Then, at the end of 2008, Fazlullah’s deputy… announced on the radio that all girls’ schools would close. From 15 January girls must not go to school” (Yousafzai pg. 146). As these conflicts were expanding, Malala was asked to be a journalist for BBC, where, under a false name due to safety reasons, she tells about all of the horrors that the Taliban are causing throughout the Valley, and how all of the children and schools are being attacked. During this time, many people where becoming increasingly scared, so they began to take their daughters out of school, then on January 14th, Khushal school was closed, by order of the Taliban. Soon after, the Taliban declared that everyone was to leave the Valley. “On 5 May 2009 we became IDPs” (Yousafzai pg. 177). The rest of Part Two would focus on the experiences of Malala’s Families life as Internally Displaced Persons. This is where we enter Part Three, Three Girls, Three Bullets.

International agriculture is a complex and intricate web of economies and cultures. To better understand this concept, it is beneficial to understand the relationships between countries and regions. Currently, the United States is experiencing a turbulent and strained relationship with the Middle East. Turning on the television and watching the five o’clock news only showcases and capitalizes on these negative events. Stones into Schools by Greg Mortenson, is the follow-up novel to Three Cups of Tea. In this book, Mortenson explores deeper into the impacts of education for women in the Middle East. Mortenson is a humanitarian raising awareness in Afghanistan and Pakistan. A comprehensive summary of the book, personal interpretation, and a

The large and bold typeface of Andrews & Dunham peaks the interest of the audience, so when they go to further examine the package they read Damn Fine Tea, which would explain to the audience first, what the product is and second, that this would be considered an exceptional brand of tea. The designer chooses to let the words Damn Fine Tea speak for itself by using a simple and smaller typeface, rather than making the typeface overpowering and distracting to the message itself. In this sense less is more, no more is said than there needs to be and the type face does not distract the audience from the overall message.

Just like many children not getting enough food around the world, there are too many children around the world in need of an education. There are many success stories of which education has played a role in a child’s life, such as the girls of Room to Read’s education program for rural, underprivileged children and the results of Malala Yousafzai’s stand for education against the Taliban. Many children need the education to become more “job appropriate” (having the skills and knowledge necessary for getting a job); many are preoccupied with other things such as fear and inferior jobs. Not only that but education, especially investing in it, has a socioeconomic benefits loop. Investing in education for children in underprivileged areas is important

Though native-born families are the ones who suffer the most in poverty in Pakistan, there are also outsiders who suffer just as much. One example is the children of Afghan refugees from Afghanistan. During the Afghan War, many families in that region have been separated or killed during battles and abductions conducted by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. This group has threatened almost virtually everyone in the country that if they don’t listen and obey their rules, they will have them executed or tortured. Thus, many families have packed their belongings and have made long treks out of the war torn nation. Once, they come into Pakistan, they expect their experience to be better than the one in Afghanistan. And to a certain extent, some of that may be true. However, once they become integrated in the society, they realize that it is very hard to find a place to work.
