Why Do People Respond To Conflicts

Kristen Lewis’ article, “Malala the Powerful” was about how a girl as shot in the head by the terrorist group, the Taliban because she was using her voice to stand up and say everyone deserves an education, especially girls. In Pakistan, the religion is strict therefore the Taliban decided to control the government, that made life for women and girls brutal. The Taliban ordered that girls were not allowed to attend school. Malala completely disagreed so she used her voice on the internet incognito to bring awareness about what was happening. The Taliban was out of control, Malala’s family was forced to move South. With all the commotion she revealed her identity, making her well known world wide. Once news broke on who she was, the Taliban

The Taliban issued death threats against her because she was fighting for girls rights to an education. On October 9, 2012 a gunman shot her in the head on her way home from school. After she survived, she gave speeches and still remained to fight for girls education rights. The Taliban kept giving her warnings but she still fought for what she believed in. Malala’s speeches and her never giving up helped her be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 2013. She didn’t win but in 2014 she was nominated again and won. Malala still lives and succeeded in getting girls rights to an

They wanted to make an example of her. In 2012, on her way to school, 12 year old Malala’s bus was stopped by the Taliban, once her identity was discovered she was shot in the head at point blank range. The intention was that Malala’s death would strike fear into the other girls, to get them back under Taliban’s control. However, not only did Malala live, but she thrived! With the help of the United Nations, the American and English governments, she has inspired other girls around the world, started a foundation to help other girls, (www.malala.org) and has become the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize!

Malala’s dad owned a school in Pakistan. This influenced Malala’s interest in education. She spoke up, and started a blog about how she was concerned that the Taliban would hurt students at her school. In the blog, she used a different name, but she later wishes that she didn’t. The Taliban saw this, figured out who she was, and wanted it to come to an end. This is why she was shot by the Taliban. They hoped that she would lose all faith and just give up, but not Malala. She kept speaking out, she was not going to give up without her message getting across. She was successful with that.

I also said something about her overcoming many obstacles. Malala overcame many obstacles that were very tough to overcome. She was targeted at a young age by the Taliban. This is so because at the young age of 11 she started to speak out on women’s rights. [From BBC News interview with Malala] She also has to watch her back because the Taliban is still after her. {According to ABC news interview} The biggest reason why she has to watch her is because on October 9, 2012 when she was riding the bus back home, two men stopped and climbed aboard the bus, then they asked, “Who is Malala Yousafzai”. Then she showed her head a bit and the man took a shot and hit her. Malala was very luck to survive that shot thanks to a British doctor who was visiting. Malala is alive and well today, but the left side of her face is paralyzed. She also goes under a code name called Gul Maki. {From BBC’s interview with

Malala faced many challenges along her journey to success. A terrorist group called the Taliban started taking over Malala’s home village Swat, Pakistan. Malala and some friends were travelling home from school, and a masked gunman from the

In Pakistan, the Taliban set standards that did not permit girls to experience an education. Girls were to stay at home and do chores. Malala built up the miniscule amount of courage stacked deep inside of her, and she fought as if there was no tomorrow. Malala secretly went to school, risking the lives of her family members as well as her own. Everyday, she blogged her protests against the evil, which caught the attention of the Taliban. The blogs showed how she did not let the Taliban suffocate her in their laws. Once the Taliban caught her, she was shot in the head. However, this did not stop her from her efforts. Malala has inspired many girls around the world to stand up for themselves. Malala Yousafzai is a renowned as a historical figure who truly broke out of her cage.

Born in the Swat District of Pakistan on July of 1997, Malala was destine to change the world. Her father named her after the famous Pashtun Heroine, Malalai. Malalai’s legend was that she inspired the Afghan army to defeat the British in 1880, one of the biggest battles of the Second Anglo-Afgan War. Being named after a hometown hero, Malala has lived up to her name. Her father is a leading education advocate for young women, making him an easy target for the Taliban. The Taliban is against women’s education, and during this period of time they ran Malala’s hometown. Due to her father’s prominent role in advocating for women’s equality, the Taliban targeted Malala’s family. In 2012 Malala was voted by the Taliban to be murdered. Their unsuccessful

October 9, 2012, marked a day in Malala’s life that she would never forget. That was the day that she was shot by a Taliban gunman in the head on her way home from school. Ever since Malala was little she contradicted the Taliban’s demand of young girls not being able to receive an education. This revolt led to the

At the age of 11 on September 1st, 2008, Malala gave her very first speech entitled "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to education?" This speech marked the beginning of what she strongly believed in because she knew she would be targeted by the Taliban, yet she still stood up for her passion towards education. That brings us to October 9th, 2012, the day Malala Yousafzai's life was on the line. From my research on ABCnews.com, on that day, the Taliban decided to assassinate Malala because her story was gaining many attentions worldwide. On this bright and sunny mid-day, as Malala and her friends were heading home from school on the back of a truck, which was considered their bus, a Taliban gunman gets on the truck and asks the girls "who is Malala?" No one answered but as the gunman looks around he saw all of the girls's faces covered looking towards Malala, whose face was not covered. That's when the gunman pulls the trigger at point blank range hitting Malala in the left side of her head, as the bullet travels down her neck and out her shoulder. From research, Malala's friend had stated that the gunman's hand was shaking during the shooting, cause two other girls to be injured but not as critical as Malala. As a result of this incident, Malala was in a medically induced coma, requiring multiple surgeries because her facial nerves were paralyzed on the left side of her face with no major brain damage. From

On october 9 2012, Malala and a few friends were going home on the bus after a long day of school. A masked Taliban gunman came on the bus asking for Malala. When people started looked at her, and point out who she is, she had got shot with one bullet that went through her head,

Malala Yousafzai a young activist who at a young age lost herself in the process of trying to find herself. At the age of ten years old situations rapidly changed for her family and her community, it was during the time in which the Taliban took control of northwestern Pakistan. Females at this time were banned from attending school and cultural activities were prohibited. The Taliban became the the dominant socio-political force. The Taliban made its opposition to a proper education for girls a cornerstone of its terror campaign. Malala, determined in attending school with a firm belief that education was her right soon became a critic to the Taliban’s tactics. Malala questioned many of their motives and described her life as being forced to stay home due to fear of the Taliban and regulations set in her community. She was forced to leave her home along with her family to seek safety.

Then the Taliban came and began to change the country as the Taliban began to take control. Ever since the Taliban came they been bombing buildings and banning girls to go to school. Malala was devastating her dream as a doctor was gone. She made speeches and wrote blogs standing up for education. These are examples of he speeches. In 2008 she wrote a speech about the Taliban taking her right from education away. In 2009 she wrote for the BBC how the Taliban is ruining her county.Since the Taliban will threthendt her since they do that with other people who stands up to them so they changed heer name too gul makai. One day her father and malala had to go somewhere else so the Taliban couldn’t find them. Her father went to a place where other men had to go to hide from the Taliban. Malala had to stay with her aunt. When they came back as a family they went to the school it was a disaster. Everything was all over the place. After all her speeches and seeing what the Taliban did to ither people she wanted to become a politician so she can save countires

By interviewing the girls whom the group threatened made the Taliban seem almost inhumane. Malala later appeared on televisions all across Pakistan. Which then made her a target, that the Taliban felt the need to address.
