Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for attending to my speech on why we should take on challenges. Conflict seems to find us in the most unexpected moments. Along with the many people living in this world, there are also many types of responses to conflict. The responses can be split into two main types; those who are uncomfortable in the faces of conflict and those who choose to challenge it. The way in which we perceive the conflict can help or hinder us as a person. Conflict doesn't always have to be a negative battle, so why not choose the positive approach? Accept it, and challenge yourself for the better. Last night while reading the play The Life of Galileo, I could see acts of selflessness and courage demonstrated. Galileo made sacrifices so that his beliefs could be exposed to the world. Despite being forced by the Church to give up promoting his theory, Galileo …show more content…
This however was not the case for Malala Yousafzai. After the Taliban had shut down schools and denied girls in her country an education, Malala chose to speak out against this injustice. What she received were threats, yet she still continued to fight for equality. While travelling home from school one day, she was shot in the head by a gunman. (is this too much of story telling? what could i say use if it is) Now, this is a traumatic life threatening event. Her response however was not fear. Luckily, Malala survived. Instead of letting the dangers of her passionate conflict stop her from moving forward, using the courage she had established, she chose to continue to raise awareness in the world for women's rights. For that choice, she is not only seen as an inspiration, but also as a valiant person. How we choose to face our battles can impact on how we are seen, so why not take on challenges? The experience you receive can be
Whether we like it or not, conflict is a part of everyday lives. It can happen to anyone, from your friends to your family.
Conflict is inevitable in any personal relationship or among members of any group. While we encounter many types of conflict in our lifetime, we often look for ways to avoid conflict. So, why do we run away from dealing with our conflict? It is often because many of us fear the conflict will escalate into a situation we will not be able to sustain. “As conflicts escalate, they go through certain incremental transformations. Although these transformations occur separately on each side, they affect the conflict as a whole because they are usually mirrored by the other side. As a result of these transformations, the conflict is intensified in ways that are sometimes exceedingly difficult to undo” (Pruitt, and Kim 89). We
Malala did not only have challenges to face, she had courage to overcome them. In the text it said, “Malala and her classmates stopped wearing their uniforms and began hiding their books under their clothing. Staying alive meant going to school had to be top secret.”(7) This is an example of courage because Malala and her classmates are risking their lives to go to school and get an education. “When asked on a Pakistan talk show about
During this tragedy Malala and her family showed a tremendous amount of courage as they stood up to the deadly terrorist. One example of courage that Malala’s dad showed was that he kept his school open. According to the text, “Despite the Taliban order, Malala’s father decided to keep his school open. This was incredibly dangerous, especially because the Taliban were gaining in Swat.” (7) This takes courage
Encountering conflict is an inevitable facet of human existence, which by definition is the opposition of intangible entities. From conflict individuals and societies may be challenged and furthered in terms of social and moral values and beliefs, as each comes to encounter the underlying and intangible elements of conflict and through this, humanity.
One thing that is a part of every person’s life on every day of every week of every month of every year is conflict. Conflict is something that people, no matter how they strive, cannot escape from. Whether the conflict on a certain day is on a large scale or it is a miniscule bump in the road, it can be said that there will always be conflict. When people encounter conflict, the sole thing on their minds is to devise a way to be rid of it. The way that a person responds to whatever conflict they are faced with is what determines success or failure. If a person meets the conflict head on and with a positive attitude, then it is almost certain to end in success. If a person meets the conflict with a negative attitude and tries to avoid it, then
Conflict Starts in the Heart- Conflict is an unavoidable truth. God made each of us in his own particular picture, yet he additionally made us unique. Along these lines some of our perspectives and assessments will contrast from those of others. Conflict regularly happens in light of absence of appreciation for another 's need and perspectives.
In 2012, word of Malala Yousafzai spread around the world. She had been shot in the head for standing up for girls’ education. Malala is a teenager who displays many attributes that all heroes show, no matter what time period they are in or how old they are. These attributes consist of courage, determination, and selflessness.
We deal with conflict everyday. Whether it is a kid at school that you just can't stand, or a family member. Heck, it may even be a random stranger at the store and he took the last LEGO set that you wanted. Whoever it is with it is still conflict. And when you get conflicted, you don't handle it too well (don't lie to yourself, everybody does it). When people are angry at one another, they want to show that they’re mad. This doesn't just happen in real life though. Conflict and reactions are shown throughout our culture. It can be a book, movie, picture, or even history. No matter what, conflict is all around us, and how we deal with it is very important.
The elucidation of a role model is a person in particular, that is looked up to as an example to be inspired from and by. Drawing upon the article “What is a Role Model”, Dr. Price-Mitchell briefly recounts the characteristics of being a role model to others. I believe that by having the ability to overcome obstacles, Malala had been able to effectively help others form a vision for their own futures. In the excerpt “Malala the Powerful” the author Kristin Lewis iterates, “It seemed that by trying to silence her, the Taliban had unwittingly helped thousands more to find a voice of their own.”
Conflict is like a person stalking you, you know there there you just carnt find them and becomes frustrating. Thats just like what conflict it is, one big misunderstanding in someways that becomes frustrating. Strength is one way to help get through this world. It can make you stronger of it can tear you down. Beliefs are tested and put to the test when something isn't right. Humans minds are put to the test and everyone tried to fix the problem. In desperate times of needs family’s are sometimes all you have and maybe all that you need but may not be able to reach them. Causing humans to go mental and do things that they will soon regret. Sometimes its not you that causes the conflict but its you that receives the conflict. For one to examine
Conflict occurs in our everyday lives through the major decisions we make. For example choosing whether to have a child or through the minor decisions like whether to have a mocha or a chai latte.
In the book I am Malala I think that Malala was very lucky and honored to be able to speak to many important people in an important way. Malala is also very brave because she is facing threats still that if she returns to her country that she will be killed and even because of all that happened she still speaks out for her rights. Another thing is that Malala's family wasn't like other families and that her and her father are both very similar, one way is that they both speak out against women rights. People in her country are very wrong, crazy, and violent, but still people shouldn't keep quiet of what they know is right.
I always thought that a conflict was a fight or discussion that could end up in negative circumstances. Nonetheless, in class I learned that conflicts are neutral that what actually makes the difference is how we deal with them. For example, I might have a conflict with my father about sports, if I get mad when he says that the Philadelphia Phillies are the best team in baseball, I would be taking the conflict negatively by getting upset from his opinion. On the other hand, if I just think that my father is just a fanatic who sees his team as the best, I would be dealing with the conflict in a positive way by respecting his opinion about his favorite team. The good part about conflict is that the individuals who take part of it are interconnected by a specific subject, but each individual perceives other’s opinions as barriers against a goal or their beliefs. For instance,
Conflict is not always bad. Sometimes you get what you what. Sometimes what you think will happen doesn't. Conflict can and will push you to your limits. Conflict is not always bad, because sometimes you get what you want. Just like Doris and Tasha. They begged for what they wanted. Doris wanted the dog and Tasha wanted to find her
