    Malala is an example of how this has changed, and how many women around the world are now openly regarded as being heroes for being advocates and simply doing things for the greater good. In the text, this is proven by the line, “So here I stand. So here I stand, one girl, among many. I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard.” This line uses repetition to show that she is woman standing up for her rights and being acknowledged for it. It shows her dedication to other people’s rights as well as her own by saying that she is here because of voices that can’t be heard. This line shows that she isn’t a soldier, and instead is an educated advocate and a

    Throughout history, social movements have continuously formed because of a person who had the courage to stand up against the injustice they witnessed in every day live. When I was a child, I remember feeling as if it takes a superhero-like person to start a social movement. However, I have found that through the use of social media today, any person with a passion for making a change can spark a social movement. Social movements are a powerful way to help people believe that their voice matters and they should stand up for what they believe in. Before the advancement of technology, it took a lot longer for social movements to become prominent in society’s media outlets because of the difficulties of not having enough time in one’s life to

    When he was four years old when he was called in from play to be sold from his parents for extra cash for his older brother’s wedding. His family had to sell him to a rug maker to work off a loan of about twelve dollars in U.S. cash. Iqbal had to work a year entirely without pay, then after, he was “paid” twenty cents per day, that means if he made a mistake, he was fined so he didn’t really make any money. Then, by the time he was ten, his loan grew to about two-hundred sixty bucks. During work which is six days a week, fourteen hours a day, They had poor conditions like poor light, no ventilations, heat, unfiltered air, and many more. Even Iqbal himself explains his work explained in the article, Pats Eduent, “Even sick children were not allowed to rest. They also hung children upside down until they got sicker. Children were beaten. If children fell asleep or were slow in their work, they would be punished by being beaten or starved.” Then in 1992 the Bonded Labor LIberation Front let him free at age ten. When he was out, he was sick and frail, half the height of a ten year old, and stopped growing. Iqbal also had arthritis with kidney and breathing problems, plus his spine was permanently curved, with scars and cuts from the tools. He then became an activist against child labor and risked pretending to be a factory worker so he could get information about the children working there, or to even help escape. Iqbal also helped free about three thousand child laborers from all sorts of factories, and became a good speaker and explained his experiences in BLLF meetings and journalists. He also visited the U.S. from Sweden to Massachusetts. But when he arrived back in Pakistan, his life, was cut short. Some people say the carpet factory worker murdered him, but nobody really. Iqbal was an inspiration to many people, plus some people planned to build a school in his home area to

    All over the world, there are terrible things that have happened, but some people actually see them and have the courage to make the right change. Some of these people have even changed the way the world looks at things. Some great leaders and examples were Harriet Tubman, Melba Patillo Beals, and Malala Yousafzai. All of these characters had big motivations in their lives and felt the need to enact change. Harriet Tubman had lived through slavery herself and wanted to give other slaves the freedom they deserved. Melba was simply a highschool student who chose the long path of integrating an all white high school. Finally, Malala was a young girl who was determined to give women and girls the same chance at education

    Think of the fight to cure AIDS, cancer research, Alzheimer's research and now healthy life extension. Productively framing, placing and keeping a problem front and center in the mainstream of our culture is hard work, but that education and persuasion unlock purses far and wide. Government money is usually the least of these resources. Far more funding comes from a venture, charitable and corporate concerns. Corporations and venture capitalists see mainstream culture explicitly in terms of needs and markets for future products. If a need is shouted loudly enough, money will be directed to answer that need. Charitable causes answer the same needs and more certainly goes to those needs shouted loudly from the rooftops but through voluntary donations and giving. AIDS funding in the 80s and 90s is one crowning example of a victory for activism and advocacy. In a comparatively short few years, AIDS moved from obscure disease to the center of media attention. There was a close relationship between activists and researchers at that time. The floodgates of research funding opened and AIDS progressed from death sentence to manageable condition for those with access to treatment. Through activism, we, become more aware of current life situations and we make a change for the better with larger groups of people who believe in that we believe
