Fazl-e-Haider, Syed. “Malala versus Extremism: Not Taliban, but Talibanization.”
Contemporary Literary Criticism, ed. by Lawrence J. Trudeau, vol. 403, Gale, 2017. Literature Resource Center. 1 June 2017.
In this article, Fazl-e-Haider argues that the Taliban might not be the true issue, rather that Talibanization is the bigger problem. He expresses his beliefs that as a result of the United States’ war on extremists, people are being forced to turn to extremist groups such as the Taliban for help. He also argues that the Malalain Theory should be in play as he says it is “the best drone to combat the radicalization of people in underdeveloped areas”. Right now, frustrated people who have lost several family members are more likely to be influenced by Talibanization. By educating people, just as Malala strives to accomplish, they know what is right and they are more likely to fight back against extremism, especially when times get tough. This article goes on to discuss more about

Malala is facing the same fears now, as a normal teenage girl preparing to go off to college. Gidda argues that Malala may not be as successful as she has been because her confidence is beginning to give way. Someone as strong has Malala has shown tremendous courage as well as confidence to speak in front of monumental groups of people. Gidda thinks that this may be because Malala missed out on her teenage years due to her fame as well as her struggle with the Taliban. Malala is unsure of what she wants to pursue in the future, but she is sure that she wants to make a change. For this reason, Malala has thoughts about becoming a politician, but Gidda argues that many politicians are corrupt and Malala is too true to her beliefs. Gidda’s arguments help support her beliefs in a persuasive

Speaking out for that in which one believes is brave. Knowing the repercussions could include death and choosing to speak out still is braver still. Malala Yousafzai possesses such faith in her cause that she knew she could be killed and still didn’t bat an eye before setting off to change the world. She trusted her God to protect her, but never forgot the risks. She never allowed violent thoughts to take control of her mind, instead insisting on peaceful resistance methods and the power of words to change minds. While I do not share the same God with Malala, I admire her faith in her cause and in her country, and hope to become a fraction of the positive influence that she is. Malala Yousafzai is a peaceful fighter who would do anything for her cause, the God she loves, and her country.

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.

Thus, ethos, the building or undermining the credibility of the speaker is seen throughout the speech. The first example of ethos is built by the way Malala connects herself to the people of the UN by referring to herself and her audience as “brothers and sisters;” this phrase causes the audience to pay attention to what she is saying from the beginning of the speech while causing a feeling of kinsmanship. In addition, Malala builds her ethos by keeping a calm, steady voice throughout the duration. Moreover, Malala ethos is strengthened through the phrase, “one girl among many.” Malala wants her audience to view her as just another girl, not a martyr or a Saint. She insists that she was only one of the millions injured and that she is merely speaking for the voices that cannot be heard. Furthermore, Malala’s ethos is enhanced when she insists that she learned peace, compassion, forgiveness, and the concept of change from social activist leaders of the past. This builds her ethos by developing common ground among the audience; thus, the same activist who influenced the common person also affected her for the
