"I am what the terrorists most fear, a female political leader fighting to bring modernity to Pakistan. Now they're trying to kill me". Unfortunately, this quote by Benazir Bhutto became reality on December 27, 2007, when she was assassinated. A young Pakistani girl with dreams of a better world for Pakistan world become the first female Prime Minister. Despite the fact that he life was cut short due to a suicide bomber Benazir Bhutto left a lasting effect on Pakistan and the people of Pakistan.
Benazir Bhutto was born on June 21, 1953, in Karachi Pakistan. Her father was Zulfikar Ali Bhutto he was the man that founded Pakistan’s People Party, which Benazir later took over. Benazir completed her early education in Pakistan and pursued a higher
Stories were being told, except we weren’t sure if they were true. Rumours were spreading about how the Taliban treated people, but time went by and nothing changed. When the world started to fall silent, Malala Yousafzai, with all her courage and strength, spoke up. She has suffered for doing that, but she doesn’t regret it. Every word she says is expressed with concern. She knows that even her small voice, can and has, changed the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young activist from Swat Valley, Pakistan. In my opinion she is one of the most influential people living and that’s why I’m going to talk about her struggle, her accomplishments and what she wants and will try to change until the day she dies.
A Taliban leader said that if girls did not stop going to school within a month, there would be repercussions. Instead of capitulating, this proclamation only made Yousafzai more passionate and courageous. She continued to attend school, despite the numerous threats and causes for fear. As an education activist, she was in more danger than most of her classmates, so it was not safe for her to walk anywhere, instead she had to take a car or bus. One day, while aboard a school bus with her classmates and friends, two men entered asking which girl was named Malala. The other girls looked at Yousafzai which unintentionally gave away her location. The men shot 15 year old Yousafzai in a defining moment in history. This not only had consequences for her and her family, but it also had consequences for the citizens of Pakistan and people living around the world. This was a turning point because people began to realize that the Taliban would target anyone with opposing views, even teenage girls.
“ First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win” (Mahatma Gandhi). Gandhi was born in 1869 in Porbandar. Throughout his life Gandhi helped those in need. He was taught that everyone and everything is holy. He married at the custom age of 19 and went to London to study law. The thing that helped Gandhi promote nonviolence is that he worked his entire life saying that violence didn’t change the way people acted. He lived his life saying that an eye for an eye only made the whole world blind. Gandhi’s nonviolent movement worked because he had something to prove and everyone else in the world agreed with him.

Not only does a human service workers work provide counseling for children that have been placed in foster care, but it is also important for them to work with the biological parents and provide support to the foster parents.

Malala Yousafzai was born on July 12, 1997. She lived in Swat Valley in Mingora, Pakistan. (http://www.biography.com) Pakistan is located on the Arabian Sea in South Asia. Malala attended Khushal School for Girls, in which her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai’s, founded. Malala’s father was her greatest inspiration in becoming a Women’s Rights and Children’s Activist in the future. (Malala’s Dream: A Brave Teen From Pakistan…)
The country of Pakistan has not always oppressed women. The former man in charge of Pakistan professed, “No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a third power stronger than both, that of women (Lamb and Yousafzai 31).” It was not until a general named Zia ul-Haq threw a coup and seized control of the government that women and men’s rights became incomparable under Islamic Law. Zia’s regime did not allow women to play most sports, have access to healthcare, or open a bank account, and, in...

Margaret Thatcher became the first woman to serve a Western political party and the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons. From 1979 - 1990, she served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and became a prominent leader for democracy in the Cold War against communism and the Soviet Union. Thatcher had similar ideals as Ronald Reagan expressing a strong anti-communism, supporting capitalism and having an individualistic point of view throughout 1980s. She was an anti-socialist and she believes in reducing the role of government to reduce taxation, promote private bus...
The ideal image of a Pakistani woman is a housewife. Women become completely dependent on their spouse and spend the rest of their lives cooking, cleaning, and raising children. In America, women are more independent and have greater opportunities to display their capability. Being a Pakistani-American woman, I have the ability to decide what life I would prefer: the life of a housewife or a working woman.
In protest to this, Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl, refused to follow these rules, and even began a blog for the British Broadcasting Corporation, detailing her life under Taliban rule. In response to her protest, a gunman approached her, and shot her three times. This assassination attempt started a global movement in support of Yousafzai and her beliefs. Like Thoreau, Gandhi, King, and Yousafzai, one must realize when others are being oppressed and take action against those in power who oppress the people they rule. Otherwise, there will never be change, and the world will never see justice.
Malala Yousafzai gives a speech at the United Nations. The terrorist attack made her a strong person, although she is young. She did not give a speech for revenge, however, she finds that talking about the importance of receiving education for all people at the time of the shooting. Further, Malala has a pure heart, so she can’t hate the Taliban. She has learned to be peaceful to all people from Muhammad, the prophet of mercy, Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha.
Margaret was no luckier than others. She deserved it. Margaret Thatcher, nicknamed “The Iron Lady”, was later known to the whole world as the first female Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the leader of the Conservative Party. Nothing is impossible. Her...
Malala Yousafzai, a women's right activist and one of the bravest women in the world. Malala is a hero that stood up for what she believed, that all women should have equal education. She sacrificed her life when she was shot in the head by a Taliban just to get her point across. ¨I am only talking about education, women's rights and peace. I want poverty to end in tomorrow´s Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school,¨ said Malala Yousafzai. She's an amazement because she wanted to modify the world by making women have equal education and rights. Malala also wanted to end penury in Pakistan for a better life with good economy. On October 9th, 2012, Malala was shot in her school bus for speaking out that women should be equal in education as men. Even though she almost risked her life,
The idea of a more peaceful word if more women held powerful and influential positions depends fundamentally on the conventional view of females as the most peaceful and pacified gender. It is easily questionable as to whether this outlook is naturally inherent, or if society has assumed these values as the manner in which women are to behave (Cook & Wilcox, 1991). By analysing the characteristics and actions of women who have been in influential and powerful positions, it is clear that those who succeed when in these positions of power tend to show conventionally masculine qualities. For example, bellicose leaders such as Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir would prove the idea of a more peaceful world if more women were in power as untrue due to all three leaders’ history of war and in Gandhi’s case, a nuclear program. This is because in current politics, the rise to a powerful posi...
