Education might not be the cure of the world’s problem but it’s important to be knowledgeable. It’s important to have an education because without it, it makes a person vulnerable to be guided in the wrong direction. Not everyone believes education is important in life and especially for a woman. Malala Yousafzai tells us her story and her fight for education in her book I am Malala. She tells us about her families struggle for the right of education and not just education in general but education for woman. She was raised in Pakistan and its one the counties in which some people believe a woman should not go to school or have freedom. Education was not as easy for her as other girls around the world. Sometimes people don’t take education as a privileged but as a right, but unfortunately it’s not this case everywhere and it wasn’t the case for Malala. She was also able to see by firsthand how illiteracy can be a danger to a person and how others can take advantage of it. In the United States a lot of people take advantage of the education system because it’s free for girls and boys. The children are required to go to school and the government spends a lot of money in the education system. It’s hard for people who live in the United States to think going to school as a child is a privilege. That is not the case in many countries, only the children that can afford to can go to school they need to pay for their education. In According to Malala “I know the importance of
The 4th line of page 162 to the end of the first paragraph on page 163 helps the author build her case by illustrating that all women have the right to go to school. At the beginning of the passage, Malala mentions that she heard a Muslim Khan, a Muslim “local lord”, say that girls should not go to school because they will become Westernized. Moreover, the Taliban are worried that children who read, learn English, or study social science will become Westernized. However, Malala has different thoughts on this. She believes that “education is neither Western nor Eastern,” but a human right that everyone has (Yousafzai 162).
In the short account “Omaha” by Harry Buschmann, the difference in world outlooks on war is illustrated. This theory is also expressed in the short account “I am Malala” by Malala Yousafzai. Between the two authors, they compare empathy and the amount it is present. Along with the importance of death and how the environment affects it. Yousafzai and Buschmann also explain the acceptance of war in each country. Both articles support different ideas of war and how severe it is.
The motif of education appears very early on in this biography as Malala expresses her love for education and her desire to be the smartest in her class. However, restrictions to the right to an education causes the motif to develop. When the Taliban kept females from attending school using threats, Malala states, that education is “for every boy and every girl in the world” and “is my right”. This only drove Malala into her continuation into the fight for equality in education to fight ignorance, increasing the importance of this motif as a movement. The final message that sums up this motif and a major point of this story is the importance for females to gain an education in order oppose ignorance and oppressors.
In the book “I Am Malala” the author, Malala Yousafzai began the book by discussing how she was raised differently than all of the other girls. Her father treated her like she was a boy because he knew that Malala was destined for more than working in a kitchen at home all day. As Malala was growing up, her father was working on opening an all-girls school, which Malala would attend when she was of age. This later played out in Malala’s life as one of the reasons she was shot. In Malala’s culture, girls did not attend to school and get any other kind of education besides learning how to complete the basic life skills the females would need later in life.
The book, I Am Malala, gave a powerful message about activism, family, women’s rights, but most importantly, the power of education. Malala Yousafzai had a very strong belief in education and would not stop at anything to guarantee that every child was able to go to school. Malala grew up believing that education was the key to success, but not everyone else believed that. Malala lived in a society where women were not treated as equals, and soon appeared laws prohibiting women’s right to attend school. Malala was extremely determined to continue her education, she even snuck to school, hid her books and abandoned her school uniform so she would not be noticed. Malala becomes vocal about education and gives her opinion in interviews for many news stations. Many people in her country feared to express their opinions, however, Malala wanted to be the change. Malala expressed her belief that “If people were silent, nothing would change.” (Yousafzai 140). Although Malala knew that it was dangerous to speak against the Taliban, she suggests her opinions in interviews to draw international attention to her cause. Malala dreamed of getting an education so she could become a politician and help her country. But when she was 10, the Taliban took control of her town, making it a law that girls were banned from
The book i Am Malala shows how passionate she is about woman having rights and education and gender inequality. In her book she gives detail on how life was like in Pakistan and how dangerous it is as she is standing up against the Taliban about the right of womans having education . Malala says in the book QUOTE: “Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow”.Malala is expressing that, It doesn't matter where your from, whether you're a girl or boy, or from the east or west, everyone as the right to have a proper education.
Malala’s father owned a school and malala wanted children to go to school and then the tail mo ha had shut down schools,because they don’t think that girls need a good education.”Malala is shot in the head and nearly dies.She is rushed to a hospital in the city of peshawar,and then flew to Birmingham,England,for more treatment.”To take a horrible thing and turn it into an opportunity to help other people.This is important because,the reason why is she wanted children to get a good education from all the schools.Just imagine girls don't go to school and get an education,some girls might think going to school is nasey.In addition,the articale states malala stands up for girls to get an education.Malala Yousafzai is a strong advocate for standing
(Malala Speech) She is not focused on herself only, she is reaching out for everyone’s right to education. In Malala’s speech she uses appeals to emotion to grab our attention and for us to understand why it is so important to not just her but for everyone to be educated. Malala says, “Dear brothers and sisters, we must not forget that millions of people are suffering from poverty, injustice and ignorance. We must not forget that millions of children are out of schools.
In November of 2016, Americans will have a unique opportunity to vote for a woman for President for the first time. Many will not, for reasons related to her policies, her party, or even her past. But others will not solely because of her gender. In my opinion, gender, like race or sexuality, is irrelevant as a qualification for running for office. Others will disagree, and disagree rather forcefully. There will come a time when someone will tell me not to vote for this woman. When that time comes, will I be able to make my voice heard? Will I have the courage of my convictions?
First, in Malala Yousafzai’s memoir, I Am Malala, girls and women are treated unfairly such as girls are not allowed to attend school like boys are. Females are viewed as lower than males in her society. Matter of fact, with the birth of a baby girl others “have only sympathy for the mother” (Yousafzai 19). When girls are born no one celebrates like they do little boys only sadness is brought. In Yousafzai’s region fathers believe women are only here on earth to take care of house: “She doesn’t need an education to run a house” (Yousafzai 20). The men in her village often believe why waste education on someone who “doesn’t need”(Yousafzai 20) it. Malala fought for
I am honored to be chosen to pick a speech and read it for the conference. I have chosen Malala Yousafzai’s speech on free education for women and children around the world. In the speech given by Malala Yousafzai on July 12, 2013 at the Youth takeover of the United Nations, she claims that we must take action and help fight for women’s rights and free education for all around the world, and that the acts of terrorism against women and children should be stopped. The speaker establishes the hopefulness for the women and children around the world who lack a basic education and are judged by their race and gender to give hope that they might be able to achieve a free education for all. She wrote this speech to inform the audience about the lack of education for women and children. Malala Yousafzai’s speech is the most moving out of the three choices because the speaker creates a powerful message by using anecdotes, repetition and ethos to convey her overall message to the audience.
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.
Education helps provide a sliver of hope in dark times. “It was school that kept me going in those dark days.” (Yousafzai 135) During this time, Malala and her family were going through a tough time, as her and her father were being threatened by the Taliban, an Islamic militia from Pakistan. School was Malala’s only happy part of the day, because she could be at ease and focus on something she loves-- education. “‘Let us pick up our books and our pens,’ I said. ‘They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.'” (Yousafzai 310) If someone has an education, they can already have a sliver of hope. It gives them more opportunities that they will be able to escape poverty, thus earning more hope. Malala writes “The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they could not stop our minds from thinking." (Yousafzai 77) Even though the Taliban had tried to stop girls from going to school, they could not take away their education. The knowledge was still in their minds, which could help them, help themselves. Malala says “For us girls that
The right to education is one important fundamental justice that everyone should have, but most times that right is denied. There 's many reasons why people, states or countries may not take education seriously. Pakistan is one country that has the most curtailment on education towards women. Malala Yousafazi became a young activist, she stood up for her people in Pakistan to restore the rights of education to women. Her journey began when she was just the age of fifteen; she was shot on her head near the school bus by the Taliban in 2012. After her surgery recovery, she addressed a speech to the youth in New York on July 12th. In 2013, Malala and her father co-founded the "Malala Fund" in supporting young girls like her. Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on December tenth, 2014 with Indian children 's rights. She bravely continues to work hard and strive for education justice so that, one day, every child will receive an education.
In her country on one understand that education is one of the girls’ right and not only for boys. Most of the family do not let their children make a decision for themselves, and keep their girls at home helping their mothers thinking that going to school is not necessary for girls. Malala Yosafzai (2013) explains in her book “I am Malala” that many schools has been destroyed by the Taliban to banned girls from going to school because they think if the girls go to school, they will go to hell. Therefore, it might lead to a lot of problems like the spread of illiteracy and lack of knowledge. However, if every child is educated it will make a change in their life and make it better. Malala made sure to raise her voice to let everyone in her village know that education is a power that can change her
