When you think of the past you might think about unfairness. During slavery and inequality of colored people fight for freedom,equality,and human rights. But two people stood out, Cesar Chavez and Mahatma Gandhi.They fought for two different things. Although they have a thing in common, they have both fought for human rights. Both of these people have made a huge impact in what they had believed in. Gandhi fought to relive his country of Great Britain. Cesar Chavez has fought for farmers right using non-violent approaches. They both fought for human rights but one of these men have fought better and made more of an impact on the world is Mahatma Gandhi. He has freed the whole country of India…

There was Martin luther king jr. a man who doesn’t need an introduction. Same as the second man Gandhi doesn’t need an introduction. Each of these men change a way a nation thinks.

Mohandas K. Gandhi, known to the world as The Mahatma, or the "Great Soul", brought a great gift to the modern world. That gift was the light of Non-Violence, of Service to the Community and of Social Justice. His life served as an example and this light became a torch which illuminated our world and which saved us from our own inhumanity to each other.…
When I think of the civil rights movement, one of the great contributors I think of that helped pave the way is Dr. Martin Luther King. King fought social injustice against African American with grace and respectful for all. Martin Luther King wished for every race and culture to live in harmonious peace, which many people are still fighting for today. King stated that no one should be judged “by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” word that encouraged us to look past our differences and promoted a free, loving, diverse world that king would be pleased to see. Mahatma Gandhi, being one of his role models, king believed in non-violence protest; that influenced how he lead his battle against institutionalized racism in the south.…
In America, during the early 1950s, times were dramatically changing for the better due to the brave actions taken by Rosa Parks and the many African Americans who took part in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Parks is known as an activist during the African-American Civil Rights Movement who promoted the idea of racial equality and an end to segregation. Martin Luther King Jr. led his first nonviolent protest known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott where he advocated equal rights for all races. Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. are both remembered not for doing what is prohibited, but for failing to do what was required of them in a segregated society such as refusing to give up a seat on a public bus and abstaining from taking action when it was felt necessary.…
By emphasizing that it is the viceroy’s responsibility to end these injustices, Gandhi places the onus of peace in Lord Irwin’s hands and, at risk of continuous civil disobedience, Viceroy Irwin is forced to back down and comply. Consequently, Gandhi's influence extends far beyond his immediate battle for Indian independence through peace. His approach to nonviolent resistance became a model for future social movements across the globe. The Civil Rights Movement in the United States, led by figures like Martin Luther King, drew direct inspiration from Gandhi's principles of satyagraha (nonviolent protest). Similarly, leaders of anti-colonial movements in Africa looked to Gandhi as a symbol of resistance against oppressive regimes such as Apartheid.…
Gandhi was a an example of a socialist in which added on to his status of a world leader. One of the main contributions he made socially were the making of non violence organizations. Non-violence was expressed deeply and was the priority in putting his cause forward(Appadorai). His movements were focused on the principles of satyagraha. Satyagraha is an important part of many of his protests but there is more two it than that. Gandhi followed the views of coming together to meet a consensus. He believed that in sitting down, without the use of violence, they will be able to agree on something that will satisfy the wants of both parties(Gandhi). Mahatma Gandhi was prosperous in his movements to gain his countries freedom. You can say this considering the fact that he got India's Independence. After many struggles India had finally gained the rights they deserved. This important day in history was August 15, 1947. Gandhi impacted and influenced people and the world in the present as much as he did in the years after…
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent”, said Martin Luther King Jr. He was saying that when you do not say anything, nothing will happen and the world will not become a better place. He was an activist, who believed that people should speak out. .Other activists, such as Malala Yousafzai and Mahatma Gandhi also believe this. These activist refused to stay silent and fight for their cause. Despite the risks they kept on fighting. They did whatever it took to fight for their cause.…

Gandhi was one of the first people to use nonviolence in a major way. A book tells how Gandhi went to jail instead of others because he did not fear a jail cell and proved he was nonviolent. When Gandhi organized a march officers beat the protesters and injured them severely, but they did not raise an arm to fight back. Gandhi sent a letter to Lord Irwin saying how british rule is a curse and he will stop at nothing to free his people from british rule. Gandhi initiated the first acts of nonviolence and won freedom for the people of India.…
"There is only one God and he is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I have always said that we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic."(Mother Teresa) Mother Teresa was a unique soul that help and impacted many unfortunate people in this world by holding the word of god near and dear in her heart. She devoted her life to the dying, the cripple, the mentally ill, the unwanted, and fully enjoyed every minute of it. She was fulfilling her life mission to work among the poorest of poor.…
Mahatma Gandhi was a very self respecting man, who used his mind to influence the entire Indian population in India and protested for his country to be returned to the Indians. But just because one man changed the minds of a whole nation doesn’t mean that I completely agree with the ways he manipulated…
