Malala

Malala is a girl who at age 13 made a blog for the BBC NEWS that said things of the Taliban. The Taliban between the years 2003 and 2009 prohibited the study to the women who did arrive to shoot him in the head to Malala leaving it in coma by a long time. She survived the shot and did not give up, that accident gave her more strength to fight for education in Pakistan. The doctors explain how the shot was and if the bullet passed through another bone she would be dead. Malala for talking about peace and education won the Nobel Peace Prize being the youngest to win the prize. She teaches me to never rendinder, if I fall I get up again and fight for my dream as Malala did.Malala is a girl who at age 13 made a blog for the BBC NEWS that said things of the Taliban.

Assertiveness and Direct Communication

One of the factors that sets human beings apart from the rest of Creation—that has, in fact, helped make us the dominant species on this planet—is our ability to communicate in great detail, with a minimum of confusion and unproductive "noise." That said, it's amazing how easy it is to fail to communicate properly. The annals of history are replete with episodes of poor communication (or a complete lack thereof) that led to widespread misery and pain. On a lesser scale, individuals and businesses have to deal with miscommunication issues every single day; and in the workplace, such issues can have a severe impact not just on individual productivity, but on the overall bottom line.

Even when the lines of communication are wide open, you can fail to communicate if you use the wrong words in the wrong way, or simply use too many words. Beating around the bush, couching your message in obscure terms, or burying it in a mass of unnecessary verbiage may cause mental static in the people you're trying to communicate with, resulting in confusion and irritation. At best, this will slow them down; at worst, they may ignore you altogether. Either outcome will damage productivity, both yours and theirs. 

Therefore, whether you're communicating with employees or superiors, you have to make every effort to get your point across with a minimum of noise. It's crucial to choose your words with great care, so that you can say precisely what you mean as directly as you can without being curt or offensive. 

Developing Responsible and Autonomous Learners

Teachers can focus on creating responsible and autonomous learners through the use of appropriate student choices. Providing opportunities to choose topics of interest stimulates students’ natural curiosity and eagerness to learn. However, providing choices is most effective in contexts where students are individually supported by others in caring and challenging learning communities. In these cultures and climates for learning, students are more likely to develop diverse competencies needed to be successful lifelong learners. Stimulating curiosity is fostered when students are encouraged to work collaboratively with their teachers and peers in finding answers to their questions in inquiry-based learning environments.
An increasing number of teachers have observed that after second or third grade, many students begin to show signs of decreased motivation to learn. What happened to that natural eagerness to go to school or the curiosity to learn that is so apparent in preschool, first and second grade students? Many teachers fear that presenting more choices to students will lead to losing control over the classroom. However, research shows that in fact the opposite happens. When students understand their role as agent  over their own feeling, thinking and learning behaviors, they are more likely to take responsibility for their learning. To be autonomous learners, however, students need to have some actual choice and control.

The peace in the classroom

Peace was naturally the major topic for discussion at the different Festivals. A very good starting point is to ask children to describe various situations in which they feel at peace. Many of the children at the Festivals came from war torn areas of the world or areas of trouble or unrest and so there was much discussion of war and how to stop it. Although the Cold War is over, many nuclear weapons remain in the world. A number of countries are still developing independent nuclear weapons and there is always the possibility that are still developing independent nuclear weapons
and there is always the possibility that terrorist groups will obtain the ingredients to make a nuclear bomb and use it to threaten other countries. Nuclear testing was also discussed by many of the children, especially those who live in the Pacific region. Children from as far away as Africa and Central America also showed concern.

At school, children may come into contact with those who are different from them, perhaps from other cultures, perhaps disabled. They need to understand that, in spite of differences, we all have common needs and aspirations. We are all part of one huge global family. We are all important and we should help one another. Tolerance may also mean not being upset when criticised by a teacher, or when working in a group. As an adult tolerance may mean seeing others' points of view.
Young people should be tolerant of other opinions and views. In games they need to realise that cheating or violent, selfish behaviour will not help to make them better members of a team or of society but by being tolerant they will learn to accept losing as easily as
winning. They may question why there are wars and why so many people have to suffer. It needs to be pointed out that there is a great deal of poverty, hate and jealousy around. We should strive to eliminate such sources of conflict.It is important to be tolerant to our
neighbours, whether they be children sitting next to each other, next door neighbours or neighbouring
countries. We should respect the Earth and all the people that live on it.
