In this article, the social issue that it is focused on is women's rights. In the article, it states "Life changed forever for 15 year old Malala Yousafzai on oct.9th 2012. On her way home from school that day in Pakistan, two members of the Taliban flagged down her school bus, and one of the men shot her in the head. Why? Because Malala had been speaking out for girls rights since 2008…" This quote shows that Malala speaks out for women's rights to be able to have an education. The article also says that the Taliban banned TV, Music, and girls' education. This also shows how, despite these bans, Malala still speaks for her beliefs and her and other girls' rights to learn in school. " I realized girls' education is something important, and thats why the terrorists are afraid of it- because they do not want women to be empowered. Thats why I started speaking for it." Says Malala. This quote shows that Malala is a girl with a very strong opinion on why girls should be able to learn. This article has made me realize/ learn that if you believe in something, or if you think that something is wrong, you should take a stand, not just go along with everyone else.
This article made me feel angry. This article made me feel angry because don't know why the taliban would shoot a girl just because of what she believes in and what she thinks is right. I think that people should have the freedom to stand for their rights and what the believe is right and wrong, and in my opinion, it is wrong to discriminate someone for their beliefs. I think that Malala had a right to stand for the girls in her school.
