People who changed the world
Today everything goes so fast that sometimes we can’t follow
it. So world change every day, every minute and it is depend on us take part in
this process or just look them. If you want to change the world first of all
you have to change your mind, the way you think and then can decide and say
that I want to change the world. May be you think I am too young to think about
changing the world but today I’m going to talk about young people who changed
the world, they were alone but they believed that one man can change the world.
Malala Yousafzai, age 17
Malala
Yousafzai who was just 17 years old in October became the youngest Nobel Prize
winner ever. She was fighting and was also recognized for her efforts in
defending education for all children, especially girls. Malala blogged in 2009
for BBC and from this year she has been in the news. 7 years old girl was
writing about her experience in Pakistan, where Taliban extremists forbade
girls to go to school. Her way of fight wasn’t easy, in 2012, someone tried to
kill her- this man was Taliban member and he shot Malala in the head- but surprisingly
she survived and more actively continued with advocacy work protecting for
oppressed children. She said to CNN reporter “I’m here to stand up for their
rights, to raise their voice. It is not time to pity them. It is time to take action,
so it becomes the last time…that we see a child deprived of education.”
For me
Malala Yousafzai is a girl who changed the world despite of she was fighting
only in one country for one group of society he managed to change the way of
life for them and by this she also change the world. So believe that one man
can change the world.
Joshua Wong, age 18
Joshua Wong who was 18 years old delivers a speech in front of the
offices of Hong Kong’s chief executive in October.
Wong is the
man who wanted democracy in Hong Kong and by this speech he did not want to
become a symbol of rebellion. Then China announced it stood by Hong Kong’s new
reforms to restrict the 2017 elections, Joshua Wong decided to help launch the Umbrella
Movement advocating for democratic elections. So he led the protest and for
this was arrested in September after storming the government’s headquarters and
went on 5 day hunger strike to push universal suffrage. Wong was interviewed by
Time magazine and he told that “the future will not be decided by adults, I would
like to ask adults, people with capital and power, why are they not fighting
for democracy?”
Jacob Barnett, 16 years old
Jacob Barnett who has not even hit his sweet 16 yet is one of
the mos promising researchers in the world. At the age of 8 he started auditing
physics classes at Indiana university and began making waves at this small age.
At age 9 Jacob Barnett made discoveries that expanded Einstein’s Theory about
the Relativity. It is surprisingly that Jacob has an IQ higher than Einstein
and this year he accepted to the independent Perimeter institute for
Theoretical Physics in waterloo, and he is youngest scholar researcher who was
ever accepted to this university. May be you have a question what makes Jacob’s
intelligence so influential? I had the same question when introduced this
amazing person. He has diagnosed with Aspberger’s syndrome. Jacob is a man who
managed to triumphed over his difficulties and also found charity organization
for children with autism by opening public profile ‘Jacob’s Place’. Jacob was
only 2 years old when doctors told his parents that he would always struggle
and hardly managed to talk.
This is a small list of people who changed the world, they
are a lot of but I talk about people who managed to overpowered obstacles and
change the world. I think this article
was helpful and interesting for you and believe that one man can change the
world. so you can write your favorite persons who changed the world in the comment.
