“One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world.” Malala Yousafzai, known for winning the Nobel prize at the youngest age to be recorded has shared her wisdom with the world along with continuing to work toward her cause of supporting girls around the world and getting them into schools. She has risen to become a strong influence for education in third world and poverty stricken countries and a role model to both students and teachers alike throughout the world.

Malala has also made huge contributions to her fund in many hard times for families and has created campaigns using the fund to support it. In Nigeria, “the Fund’s support for the Centre for Girls Education provides scholarships for in-school girls, as well as safe space programs for in-school and out-of-school to improve their literacy and numeracy skills.” (He Named Me Malala, 15) The foundation has given to support to many schools and have helped share unique learning experiences that the students would have never had due to the Nigeria’s developing country status. Not only has the Malala Foundation given diverse programs to Nigerian schools, the Chibok girls who returned home were given scholarships to further their education and to prove that nobody could steal their right to learning. Despite Malala’s inability to visit herself, her fund has also reached her homeland of Pakistan. “[She] has provided funds for books, uniforms, and supplies.” (He Named Me Malala, 17) In 2014, massive flooding had destroyed towns and left many schools in shambles and the Malala Fund had gone to work by buying new supplies for schools in order to ensure that children can continue their schooling. The fund is also hard at work, helping to build schools to educate the 5.5 million children who lack a basic education in Pakistan. All around …show more content…
However, many people tend to disregard Malala’s position and claim that her father has done all the work for her. In fact, “he has spoken out fearlessly many times in favor of girls’ education.” (He Named Me Malala, 8) Malala’s father, Ziauddin Yousafzai fully supports the idea of many girls, much like his daughter having an education due to his passion of being a teacher and instructing children. He sees all people as equal in their ability to learn after having taught both boys and girls and has never been afraid to stand up at a podium and reflect his opinion with his life hanging in the balance. Malala would check the locks every night in fear of the Taliban entering to drag her father away in the middle of the night. While it is true that Ziauddin is an intelligent man and brave speaker that has gone against tribulations of his own countless times, there is no way to deny that Malala has done nothing to support her cause. “Malala has visited the families of the kidnapped girls and called on then-President Goodluck Johnathan” (He Named Me Malala, 18) After the Chibok girls had been taken, Malala had offered emotional support and gained testimonies to push forward on awareness and government aid to find the girls. She was there, in person, listening to these people speak and had used the power of her fund the voices she
Malala Yousafzai has made many claims for what she believes in. Those without a voice need to be heard. The taliban cannot quiet her. Nonviolence is one of the World’s greatest traditions. Education is one of the most important human rights. Yousafzai is able to support these claims with the way she speaks. She is splendid at using rhetoric, persuasive language with techniques like figures of speech. Malala Yousafzai uses repetition, pathos, and ethos to support her claims.

Nelson Mandela once said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. It is the very same “legacy of change” that Nelson Mandela used that inspires what Malala Yousafzai does today.

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 created awareness around the world of the situation and stood up for her rights to education. Through Malala Yousafzai’s painful experience with growing up in a dangerous part of Pakistan, she created awareness in hope to regain the rights to educational opportunities for women.

“I dream of a country where education would prevail” (Malala Yousafzai). Education around the world has begun to be overlooked more and more each year; women’s education especially. Fighting to learn is one of the many problems women face each day, additionally it does not help when the opportunity to be educated is not given to over 6 million teenage girls alone. The women that are confident enough to stand up and fight for schooling are usually respected. Being one of the very few people in Pakistan who fought for better teachings, Malala is now well respected in many countries.

Malala Yousafzai, the teenage girl who was shot by the Taliban, the youngest person to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, a girl brave enough to speak up against the Taliban, a girl who wanted a change for women’s equality and education, and a young girl who was once an average teenage girl. Malala has had many influences in life but the two most important ones are Ziauddin Yousafzai, her father, and the Taliban in Swat Valley. Her father has shown her such great love since birth and has allowed her to have a voice. At the same time, the Taliban has inspired her to speak out and strive for change. These two influences have motivated Malala as she has become an activist and a voice for change.
Through society's repetitional assignments of stringent labels that isolate individuals utilizing gender and harmful characteristics, virulent exchanges between masculine and feminine persons become the norm. Literature such as Homer's Iliad, Lucius Annaeus Seneca's Medea, and Geobee Layman's Mighty Be Our Powers provide thoughtful depictions of this dilemma by centering their stories around gender dynamics. The early establishment of the harsh atmosphere between Zeus and Hera, the distinct contrasting of Medea's sadistic nature to Jason's collected demeanor, and lastly, Daniels's ability to employ manipulative tactics to maintain sole control over Leymah all exhibit the clear connection between the damage of cemented labels and subsequent

Every human being on this planet has looked up to their own superhero as a child or throughout their life. This may be because of these heroes saving the damsel in distress or rescuing a fictional city from the villain. In an interview with ABC News, Durga Prasad, said that Malala Yousafzai is his hero in life. “The reason Malala is a hero, is not the shooting, she is a hero way before that incident, when she stood-up for the right to women’s education in Swat Valley, Pakistan”.
