Malala speaks for those who cant.

Malala Yousafzai is a sixteen-year-old girl who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014. And to that opportunity she has a speech witch today is heard all over the world.

In her speech Malala talks with a confident and calm voice, and this defiantly gives her credibility, given the fact that she is only sixteen years old and has experienced the terrible consequences that can happen if she speaks her mind.

Malala fights for every girl’s and boy’s right for education and for equality and peace for everyone in the world, the fact that she is a young person, living in, and experiencing the challenges of these rights that she fights for, also gives her a lot of credibility. She is a live example of the challenges and inequalities that we stand above, and that makes her voice even stronger and more powerful, when she, above so many others has made it so far.

When Malala speaks, she thanks her family, her teachers and talks a lot about “us”, “we” and all the millions of other children who need to be heard. In this way she brings a lot of emotion in to her speech, and one can see in the filming of her speech that her words touch everyone listening. She also talks about her journey, how she was once shoot by the Taliban when going to school, but she also then explains how this is not her unique story, but so many other’s story as well. This brings even more emotion to her speech, as well as logic of her argument.  Malala also uses a lot of humour and repetitive language in her speech; this brings emotions forward and strengthens her argumentation.

When she arguments for her idea, she comes with real life examples from girls all over the world, she talks about all the lost potential that the whole world looses by not giving everyone the right for education. Malala also gives reason and logic to her argument when she questions the society and the “stronger countries”. She asks how it can be easier to build a tank than a school, how it can be easier to give a child a gun rather than a book and so on. In the end of her speech she concludes with how everyone, not just politicians, not just those in need, but that every single person needs to stand up so we all can make a change. This gives her logic to her argument as well as credibility and emotions among the audience.
