Who Inspired Me?
The person that had inspired me throughout my whole life was Gandhi and his accomplishments to save India's human rights. Growing up I have learned that Gandhi was a man that stood up against the British for the rights of his own country which was violated by the British. Gandhi is an important man because he brought about the independence of India through a non-violent resistance movement. Many leaders learned of the benefits of his methods and they have used these methods in their political struggles. For example, Martin Luther King was inspired by Gandhi to lead on non-violent protests in America against discrimination. Also over the years of when Gandhi was alive, he wrote to leaders of different nations to stop their violent ways of conflict. Mahatma Gandhi has inspired me as a young Canadian because if there ever was a conflict that I was in, I would go about solving it by peaceful means. I take in consideration that violence leads to no answer to any conflicts, because of Gandhi inspiring me. Gandhi has given me the inspiration to fight for what is right but fighting for it in a non-violent way because violence only causes more damage.
This is very important in the world today and many have not discovered that there is a peaceful route that can be following all situations and will derive the same outcome. Gandhi Has inspired the world and I think you made an an excellent choice in choosing him for an influence on human rights.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really good post Ray.
ReplyDeleteIt's really good that Ghandi had such a positive affect on the way you would go about solving a conflict. I think that the world would be a way better place if more people could learn from Ghandi's ways.
Great post Ray! Gandhi is a man of true inspiration and I understand why you chose him. He stood up for the right of his country and got independence for India. This is huge act and he definitely made a change in MANY peoples lived. You really underlined important notes.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. Gandhi is a very inspirational man. Most people would have taken action but their protest would have been violent instead he took a peaceful approach. This took a lot of courage because I'm sure many people thought that he would just give up once they tried to use force on him but he never did give up. Instead him using peaceful ways to protest had a bigger impact. Great person to look up to
ReplyDeleteGandhi is a very good role model to look up to. I personally look up to him myself and I think his morals should be reflect in more individuals.
