According to “Youngest Nobel peace prize winner Malala celebrates exam success” (2015), Ziauddin Yousafzai, who is Malala’s father, posed on Twitter on Friday that his daughter has received the top tier rank in her GCSEs, which is a significant test of British students.As the news reported, I am quite glad to hear this news, because she now acted as an education activist and won the Nobel peace prize last year. I believe that before she could reach at this successful point, she used to face with many undesirable things. The hard life in Afghanistan drove her to change Afghanistan's educational system. I heard from her interview with an USA talk-show program that she was injured by the Taliban and she said that if she tried to kill them, she will not be different from them.
When I heard about Malala's story, even it is not much, I am very impressed with her action towards the authorities in her country. It is undeniable that Muslim countries such as Afghanistan are the male-dominant societies, and women have much less rights and equality to do just one little thing like studying.
It reminds me to think of the importance of education. We seem to have more freedom to do many things as much as we want; at the same time, not only men, women can also learn anything they prefer to. While some people in developing and developed countries may overlook the significance of studying at school or university, there are some people in the world who need the knowledge to fulfil their ignorance and illiteracy, to know how to live their lives, to develop the country better, and to equalize the right of humanity.
In conclusion, although Malala was not born in the city, which is plenty of sciences, education, and modernity, she did not think that she was born in the wrong place, she just thought how she can live without inequality.

I heard her name from the conversation class, too. When I know that she was hardly injured and nearly to die because of she have an education. I also know that some cultures are still treat women different, sexism, but for the education it is my first time. She is very brave for me, she knows what will happen to her if she has an education and lives in her own culture and her country, and she decides to do it.
ReplyDeleteOne fact of her is that she's just 18 years old, but she braves enough to do such a great thing. I heard that she is the youngest person who got the Nobel Peace prize. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteRights and equality in the view of gender or education became an debated issue in several countries. Nowadays, with the great change in technology, science, economics, laws, and the like, it seems to me that both male and female should be able to be literate and enough skilled for living in the modern society. No one would rule out the significance of education that contributes to the development of the nation.
ReplyDeleteMalala’s braveness in such action shows nothing but that all people in any countries could be equalized in term of sex and education, leading to equality-based civilization. So, it is not surprising why she truly deserve Noble peace prize.
