In Malala's speech it expresses how education is useful by saying "The pen is mightier than the sword'. The extremists are afraid of books and pens. The power of education frightens them". In the article is talks about some of the rights that cannot be taken away such as "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of
For example, she talks about how blacks aren't allowed to go to certain places. The reason being is the white's discriminate the black people for the fact that the color is different. The white people use this as an excuse to limit the black people's freedom. In the article it states, “certain provisions of the Declaration are stated in such broad terms as to be acceptable only because the provisions and article 30 providing for limitation on the exercise of the rights for the purpose of meeting the requirement of morality, public order, and the general welfare.” This means that everyone has the right to equal access to the public service in this country. On the other hand, it clearly states that everyone has their rights, but in reality the white community is limiting the black people's rights. Which I believe isn't fair because either everyone gets their rights or no one gets their
Writer, political activist, and feminist Malala Yousafzai once said, “One child, one teacher, one book, and one pen, can change the world.” Education is not a luxury, but rather a basis for survival; sadly, thirty-one million females ages five through eleven are not in a primary school and seventeen million of these females are expected to never enroll in school (Education). Malala Yousafzai fought, and is currently still fighting for education rights for women and children (Van). Malala Yousafzai defied a law which she determined unjust and was prepared to pay the ultimate price: her life. Due to Yousafzai’s personal beliefs, she choose to participate in civil disobedience by protesting the ban on education. Malala Yousafzai was successful in her actions through the use of peaceful protest. Yousafzai committed an act of civil disobedience in the eyes of the Taliban. Civil disobedience is defined as peace protest that violates a law intentionally (Suber).In addition to
Most adolescentes dread Mondays because they signify the start of the school week. They complain about all the work they need to do, and how they have very little free time, but they do not realize how fortunate they are to have an education, and how many people would love to be in their place. A good education is not easily accessible in many countries, especially for girls. When Malala Yousafzai encountered this problem, she began to work tirelessly to fix it, which has made her one of the most respected education activists in the world. She often used civil disobedience to create positive changes in society. Yousafzai’s childhood, advocacy in Pakistan, and more recent actions are all significant parts of her character and her journey to
In the fall of 2012, a young Pakistani female was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding the bus home from school, but being shot was only one of the trails Malala Yousafzai was to overcome. Malala’s injuries were too great to be dealt with in hospitals in Pakistan; thus, she was transferred to England to undergo surgery. While in England Malala’s story became so popular that the United Nations heard of how she was shot and as a result, she had become an advocate for education; therefore, on July of 2013, at the age of sixteen, Malala, was invited to speak about her experience at the United Nation’s headquarters in New York. Her speech was intended to inform people of an epidemic that has invaded not only the Middle East but also
Hillary Clinton speech “Women Rights” transmitted a crucial message to the world and that was to do something about gender inequality. Pathos helped transmit an emotional appeal to the audience and make them see the soft side of Clinton. Pathos and Logos supported the facts stated to the public with evidence and compassionate words.

Altogether made the speech have the great impact on people’s perspectives about women
Soon after, Malala was born and a favorite of her father’s. He taught her the value of education and how he had to struggle and claw his way to get a decent education.

Malala’s father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, is a very influential person in the village and a great role model as Malala grew up. He participated in Anti-Taliban organizations and constantly preached for peace, educational rights and for th...
Imagine a world with no education. It is hard not to imagine a society where no knowledge, no future, or no life. If the world had no education; how will we build our sources? How will life know what is right and what is wrong? How would society know about the stages of life from past, present, and future? Just think how empty the world would be without education. Malala Yousafzai, an activist of woman and children's right of education known for her courageous acts to improve education globally. Malala Yousafzai has positively benefitted modern society by speaking up for her rights of education and by inspiring others to join her to create equality for all.
“Her primary cause – securing Pakistani girls’ access to education” Education was hard especially for females and Malala helped change that even if she would have to face consequences to which she did. “Malala has become perhaps the worlds most admired children’s-rights advocate, all the more powerful for being a child herself.” At only 14 years old, mala stood up for the females and even got shot, and then survived which helped make it the big cause that it was. Malala Yousafzai’s actions in Pakistan went worldwide to get the support and followers to be the leader she is still to this
Education is the source of all power allowing people to achieve any dream they choose. A person without a true education is nothing more than an empty shell living an empty and pointless life. The process of education begins at conception and the human mind continues to learn until the time of their death but most lessons are learned in the first five years of life. When the topic of education is discussed it isn’t how much is needed but how best to provide the education. The need for high quality education is typically agreed upon; how best to provide that education is not as easily as settled. The line in the sand has been drawn with neither side willing to back down and possible casualties are the children.
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.” – Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed [retrieved October 8, 2017 from https://www.goodreads.com]
“I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai is a beautiful and hard breaking book at the same time. This book is an autobiography that describes the author childhood and her support on the right for girls to have an education. Through this autobiography, Malala describes the restrictions that are imposed on females in her country. There are many that believe that woman of Pakistan should not be educated in the other hands there are a few that oppose this idea. Malala’s support on education for girls almost cost her life, since she was shot by the Taliban. From a multicultural perspective Malala’s story touches on topics such; culture shock, discrimination within your own culture, oppression, religion, family and woman’s right. Despite the opposition

Throughout history, governments and rulers have oppressed every option, idea and freedoms of their citizens. When the people fight back, they fight for different things due to their circumstances, like education or to get rid of censorship in the government and media. In the book Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi and Malala Yousafzai’s acceptance speech, both Malala and Marjane experience their freedoms being oppressed. For Malala’s case, her rights were stripped away when the extremist group known as the Taliban over took her town. Her right to an education then became a crime when she wanted to learn and girls were stopped from going to school. Similarly, Marjane’s freedom of expression was persecuted when the new government was installed and censored everything Western. Malala’s and Marjane’s actions are worthwhile because through their sacrifices
On December 10th in 1948, the general assembly adopted a Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration, although not legally binding, created “a common standard of achievement of all people and all nations…to promote respect for those rights and freedoms” (Goodhart, 379). However, many cultures assert that the human rights policies outlined in the declaration undermine cultural beliefs and practices. This assertion makes the search for universal human rights very difficult to achieve. I would like to focus on articles 3, 14 and 25 to address how these articles could be modified to incorporate cultural differences, without completely undermining the search for human rights practices.
Literacy and education are similar yet two very different concepts. Literacy is the ability to read and write. How ironic it is to be a part of the country where right to education is a fundamental right but half of the country’s population can’t even spell their own name. Illiterate people, no matters how talented or experienced they may be, fall into the traps of various others who have continued to exploit them since centuries. One may argue or debate that being literate is not the only means to
