Activity 2: Fighting for Freedom
Mahatma Gandhi was an activist best known for his role in helping India become an independent country in 1947. Prior to this, India was under British rule. During the fight to become free from England, Gandhi (and others) led peaceful protests, marches, and hunger strikes in India. His birthday (2nd October) is widely celebrated in India as the International Day of Nonviolence.
Gandhi originally studied to be a lawyer in London, England. When he completed his studies, he got a job in South Africa where he saw that people were treated differently because of their skin colour. He thought this was unfair and wrong, and so he organised protests to highlight the rights of Indians living in South Africa.
Gandhi impacted the world by using non-violent protest to bring about change. Recently, school students around the world have followed his lead and participated in peaceful protests about climate change. These were started by a girl called Greta Thunberg who, like Gandhi, is using nonviolent protest to try and make a change.
I think Donald Trump building a wall between mexico and america is really bad idea because I think that anybody has the rights to travel to any country in the world. Donald trump is the president, but I think him building a wall to keep out the Mexicans is wrong because what if the Mexicans try and destroy the wall and lots of people get hurt. That's why I think building a wall to keep out the Mexicans is a bad idea.
