...I Am Malala Malala is strong hearted girl that will never back down without a fight. Malala was shot for standing up for female education in her hometown of Swat Valley, Pakistan. Even after getting shot, she still stood up and spoke out about neglecting female education. A lot of people who would have gone what she went through would have backed down and gave up on their teachings, but Malala didn’t. She kept on spreading her beliefs and her teachings on what she felt were supposed to be right. I wonder if more girls will stand up and speak out on neglecting their rights to education, or will they just go along with the rules and traditions that their accustomed to and let Malala do this all alone. A lot of people don’t stand up for what they believe in so they sit back and let things happen. Malala shouldn’t have been the only girl to stand up in her hometown but also other women and men as well. It takes a community and a large group of people to come together in order to fix a problem so severe like what she had to do all by herself. If you believe in something take action and defend your belief and let people know how you feel. Don’t just sit there in the dark and like nothing is happening. What type of change will you bring if just sitting there? You need to stand up and speak out. There are a lot of things that goes on that we just let happen....

...throughout the novel I Am Malala, is possibly the most important issue, next to education, debated during the course of the book. When the story begins the author Malala Yousafzai recounts the experience of her being shot in the head for standing up for girls’ education. People were trying to silence progressive women however they could. Another instance is the narrator from “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who was never given proper medical attention and therefore suffered a nervous breakdown. Novels imbued with messages expressing the unfair treatment of women are based on facts and they do not have overly joyous endings. Malala faces the struggles of being overpowered a male-dominant society while she tries to prove her worth. When her home was overrun by the Taliban and girls were removed from schools,...

...Name: Course: Date: Education in the modern world As the world becomes more civilized and connected, global competitiveness makes it the duty of every global citizen and government to reconcile the true meaning of education to the standards and practices applied in learning. Without this societal reflection, a country or person risks lagging behind as the world progresses. This paper seeks to understand education and its place in the 21st century society. The first step in this quest is to ask the question, what is education? There exist a myriad of definitions on education. Key to every definition is the transfer of knowledge, values and skills. This knowledge transfer requires an knowledgeable guide or tutor to impart what they know to a willing learner. This is a process of illumination for the learner. As Will Durant eloquently states, “Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance” (Durant). Every great kingdom throughout history has placed a premium on education. From the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt to the depth of information on the internet, education remains at the heart of every successful society. Currently, modern formal education has largely failed to provide value to learners. The most common forms of modern formal education employ rote memorization. Knowledge imparted does not go beyond the testing stage. Another failure by modern learning institutions is their over emphasis on the academic aspects of education. These institutions forget that...

When discussing religious figures, names that commonly come into play would be: Mother Theresa for the Catholic faith, Mahatma Gandhi for Hinduism, Desmond Tutu for South African Anglicans, Malala Yousafzai for Islam, and the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, for Buddhism. All of whom are exceptionally powerful, but the history behind Tenzin Gyatso was one not as familiar to someone from the Catholic faith, like myself....
