19 September, 2014 The Human Rights Why are human rights so important? Human rights are important so that peace is kept and so that everything stays aligned, put together and won’t be absent. The rights keep the people safe and feeling safe from harm and any other kind of problems that may occur. Safety is one of the reasons that human rights have been established. The central Idea of Malala’s speech and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is that everyone is or should be equal, and they use parallel structure and uses imagery. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was made so people would know what their rights are and what aren’t. Equality and peace are some of the main reasons that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was wrote. The article states the term “unalienable rights” which basically means that under law “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” Everyone should be equally free, so as the article says, nobody should be held into slavery or serve anyone without their own consent. The document is set up first with the preamble, it goes in order from article one to article ten. The way it is set up makes it easier to read and comprehend. It uses rhetorical devices such as repetition in the articles to get the

One member of the Taliban was boarded on her bus and asked for her by her name, then they shot her. This experience made her realize that women don’t exactly get the same rights as men. Job and education is a big part of it. They believed that women didn’t need jobs or education. She was fighting strongly for the rights and didn’t give up hope. Women we’re not equal to men and men seemed to be more superior. The document structure almost repeated itself. It was in paragraphs when she paused, and she used rhetorical devices as of parallel structure to persuade people to agree with her
Malala Yousafzai uses the rhetorical appeal of pathos to express the immorality of Pakistani government which coaxes the U.N. to allow women basic rights. Everybody should be granted the right to education, no matter race, gender, or religion. Malala pleads to the U.N. to allow her an education. During her presentation at the U.N. meeting, Malala appeals to the emotions of the representatives of various countries by discussing heartbreaking topics such as terrorism, war, and most brutally, death. While fighting for their basic rights, Yousafzai stated, “thousands
When an individual is born, they are automatically given human rights. Human rights are rights that are entitled to every human regardless of sex, race, ethnic origin, or status. Within our Nation, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were very important documents that changed how we lived. These documents were established on the foundation of human rights because of how essential every man was in the country. Human rights play a major role within our life but not everyone is aware of them. These documents made it clear that human rights allow us to be who we are as an individual and led us to a more equal lifestyle.
Malala Yousafzai speaks out after she was shot by the Taliban on the left side of her head for attending school. She then decided to recount the event and write a speech which she presented to the United Nations. Her speech was intended to bring awareness to people that education should be available to males and females.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, categories all human beings as free. Article one identify all human beings as born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. Article two states, Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust,
Human rights as stated in the universal declaration of human rights is that every human is born with equal rights no matter what sex, age, race or sexuality they are. It also means every person is protected by and under this law no matter what.
“I am those 66 million girls who are deprived of education. And today I am not raising my voice, it is the voice of those 66 million girls.” Malala Yousafzai makes this statement in her speech to the Nobel Committee as the first Pakistani and, at the age of sixteen, the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize Award. Malala was unfortunately shot in the head by a member of the Taliban, due to the fact that she defied a culture that did not allow girls to have an education. Despite her brush with death, she not only recovered, but became a champion for the rights of children and girls around the world to receive an education. Malala delivered a speech before the Nobel Committee
Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist for education, especially for females, and equal rights to education in the middle east. She revolutionized education equality for children. She has received many peace awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize. The Taliban outlawed education in Pakistan, where she lived, for all females in 2009. She continued to attend classes and speak out on her BBC blog, the radio, and was even in a documentary about her life in the middle east and going to school as a girl despite the new law. In early October of 2012, when Malala was 15, she became the victim of an attempted murder by a Taliban gunman. She was shot in the head on the bus ride home from school. She was rushed to the hospital and after being stabilized, she was moved to another hospital to remove the bullet. After her tragic personal experience, she became well known and used her newfound popularity to advocate for education in the middle east. This speech is just one example of the many speeches she gave to bring attention to the problem. She also asked many other influential people with a higher status to help her bring awareness to the cause. To understand Malala’s speech the reader needs to understand what her goal is, what rhetorical devices she uses to reach that goal and how effective the speech is. She is quite effective in getting her goal across to the audience through her speeches by using her public speaking skills to get her audience to agree with what she has to say.
Prior to the rise of the Taliban, life for women in Afghanistan was improving dramatically. In Laila’s father’s words, “Women have always had it hard in this country… But it’s true, it’s a good time to be a woman in Afghanistan” (Hosseini 121). Women were able to teach in universities and schools and even hold office in the government. However, once the Taliban came to power in 1996, women were stripped of their basic rights and practically ordered on house arrest.
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.
Ethos, pathos, and logos! They are the three persuasive appeals that a writer utilizes to effectively convince an audience. These persuasive appeals can be found in Malala’s Yousafzai speech, The Sealand Lady’s speech, and in Mr. Turk’s video “Look Up”.
The purpose of this speech is to speak for every child right to education and to those who can not raise their voice. As Malala says in her speech:
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.
The speaker is Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani girl; she is sixteen years old. She was shot by Taliban in on October 2012. Malala was the first and the youngest person who received the biggest European human rights prize called "Sakh arov" Malala was received Nobel Peace Prize in 2013. She also received many other international awards such as women of the year 2013 by Glamour, Women's rights award "Raw & War (Malala yousafzai Web, 2013).
“They will not stop me. I will get my education if it is in a home, school, or any other place” these are the words of Malala Yousafzai, a Nobel peace prize winner, a human rights activist, and a Pakistani girl, who has traditions, stories, and a unique experience. She was named after Malalai of Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan, and she lives up to her name as a heroine for girls education. Despite the cultural traditions of Malala Yousafzai’s community, she has grown as a world leader in spreading world peace throughout the globe, through her challenges, her accomplishments, and her growth in publicity, with her common goal being an education for all girls.
On July 12, 2013, 16-year-old Malala Yousafzai, delivered her first public speech, to the United Nations Youth Takeover, where she persuasively articulated her aspiration to reach out to young, adolescent advocates the deficient nature of education, specifically in regards to women and young children. During Yousafzai’s advocacy for children’s right to education, her spoken ambition was to reach a global audience in hopes of bringing awareness to a troublesome issue. Likewise, throughout the speech, Yousafzai effectively expressed her gratitude to the people who have made an influence in her life, including the champions of the world Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah as well as the countless teachers she had who motivated her to persist in further educating herself. Nevertheless, she also commendably reveals through her Nobel Peace Prize Speech that the award is not only for herself, but, consequently, for those “disregarded” children who continually yearn for education on a daily basis. This successfully demonstrates that she is not above those children, but, instead, stands with them. In several illustrations, she conveys the notion that she is not going to stand idly by and witness young girls being denied their rightful education. Accordingly, Yousafzai deliberates, it is moral and upright to fight for what one believes in.
