Ch.22
Okay, so this will be my very last blog.
All I have to say is that I loved reading about Gandhi because I think he was a great man, and I love how he believed in non-violence.
"Non-violence means conscious suffering. It does not mean submission to the will of the evil-doer, but it means the pitting of one's whole goal against the will of the tyrant...It is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honor, his religion, his soul" (Strayer p1095). This quote is simply amazing. Even though he was attacked many times while fighting for the right of his people, he never once used violence against his "enemies." I think that people like him and Martin Lurther King Jr have done so much more to really help their people instead of all the wars that have been fought. This only proves that there is no need to use guns and violence in order to fight for a cause and actually win.
Ch.23
Capitalism and Feminism ar the two things that ought my attention in this chapter.
Women were not treated equally as man. They had to fight for their rights and to be treated equally and I think that we are still fighting for that equality. It has been proven that women are still earning less than men, even if they have the exact same qualifications. It is sad to know that we are in living in the 21st century and we are still seeing inequalities simply because if the gender differences.
