Mahatma Gandhi by Gabriella scarpantoni https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka en-us 2017-04-05 04:37:40 UTC 2023-03-29 09:53:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Background information on Gandhi gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165672380 Mahatma Gandhi was born on the 2nd of October 1869 in Porbandar India. He attended Alfred High School, University College London, UCL Faculty of Laws and Sanaldas Arts College (Biography, 2017). ]]> 2017-04-10 13:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165672380 You need to give some background information and the essence of why this person is revered as a ‘Truly Radical Change Agent’ gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165672610 Gandhi was considered as a “truly Radical Change Agent” because of the endless amounts of effort he put into making India’s independence. He led India’s independence movement against Britain in the 1930’s and the 1940’s. He was admired so much because of how he went about changing his country. He led a movement that was simply him making speeches and non-violent protest and by using both his ethics and intelligence unlike any other protester. More than anything Gandhi proved that one man has the power to take on an empire. Gandhi’s methods shook the world of politics and its process and have been emulated in years since in other peaceful resisters such as Martin Luther King Jr during the 1960’s civil rights movement and Dalai Lama (Science, 2017). Gandhi’s dream of his country having independence was finally achieved on the 15th of august 1947 (Castle.eiu.edu, 2017). Gandhi led the famous Salt March to Dandi in 1930 for 24 days Gandhi marched 388 kilometers(Learnodo-newtonic.com, 2017) from Ahmedabad to Dandi in the hope that the British Salt Act would be abolished. Thousands of Indians joined him and it sparked large acts of civil disobedience against the British salt laws resulting in 80,000 Indians being jailed (Learnodo-newtonic.com,2017). The world became to recognize the claim for Indian’s independence. ]]> 2017-04-10 13:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165672610 How has their work encouraged a more open-minded view on situations rather than a close-minded and controlled view? gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165672959
Gandhi’s perspective and outlook was very different and open minded than others at the time. He fought for equality and independence something that was not encouraged back then. By Gandhi’s perspective and outlook on the world being so different it opened up a new way of thinking. Instead of discouraging people who thought differently he encourage wishful thinking because he believed that everyone had a right. Gandhi’s view on situations was so different that it showed others that there wasn’t just one way of thinking, it opened people’s eyes to the world around them.

Gandhi proposed peace and talking to come to an agreement, he was always more about sitting down and compromising with others needs in order to get the best outcome. He always thought about not only the lives of his people but the lives of all the others that would be lost if they were to go to war. He thought rationally and in a way that would minimize tension and war, which is a strategy that would soon be emulated by others.

Gandhi took risks for the wellbeing rather than risking others by organizing a time to meet and discuss whatever conflict with the main people causing the problem. By doing this Gandhi thought of the long term affect and how things would turn out and took that in consideration and made an alternative way to dissolve problems. Gandhi was willing to compromise and share resource’s so that they would be on the same page and have all the information and to avoid sending armies to fight the battles in order to gain information.

Gandhi never forced people to share his beliefs or force them to be a part of his movement, he simply explained what he thought and left it up to the public to decide for themselves. Gandhi made many give and take relationships because he recognized that he was going to get nowhere if he didn’t show that others would be getting something out of the agreements not just him. ]]> 2017-04-10 13:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674106 Who might they have offended along the way? How might this have cost them? gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674261 Gandhi as careful as he was about others beliefs he would not have made the changes he did without offending people along the way. Gandhi would have offended the governing state (Britain), royalty and countries that rule under martial law and the rulers of India. As the rights that Gandhi was fighting for were not small things and he was basically breaking the law in order to raise attention he would have upset all the parties listed above, as he was going against the strict guidelines that were put in place. They would have seen Gandhi as out of control and a major problem that needed fixing. Although Gandhi was fighting for racial equality not everyone had the same beliefs that he did and I’m sure that some Indians were perfectly fine living how they were such as the Indian rulers.]]> 2017-04-10 13:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674261 What have you found most inspiring about the person you have studied and how have they challenged your own worldview? gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674744 What I found most inspiring about Gandhi was that he adapted a new way of dealing with situations and the fact that he took what others thought into consideration and then adapted the situation so that it would suit most people. He was such an influential person in changing the way people thought and changing the way people approached situations. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for what he believed and recognized where things needed to change and then went out and did them. I feel like after researching more about him his quotes like “you must be the change you wish to see in the world” mean so much more because I now have a deeper knowledge of the world they lived in. He had the courage to stand up for what was right and he didn’t know at the time but his methods would soon be remembered and used by other truly radical change agents in the years to com]]> 2017-04-10 14:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674744 Bibliography gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165674863 https://learnodo-newtonic.com/gandhi-achievements

Ensure that you identify vital aspects of their faith and how that has guided their radical actions. gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165811831 In 1900 India was a part of the British Empire they were considered the jewel in the crown of the British empire (History Learning Site, 2017). As India was led by the British they had no say on how their country was run. Gandhi wasn’t fighting for a religion he was fighting for independence for his country, which was contradictory to what the British believed about India. The British believed that the Indians were incapable of governing their country. However, Gandhi believed that his people were capable for governing their country and that’s what he fought so hard for. He saw the potential in his people and had faith in them unlike the British who saw the Indians as incompetent. The British controlled all central government and within the provincial governments. They controlled the key post, taxes and laws (History Learning Site, 2017). one law was that they were unable to find salt within their country, they had to import it from Britain which was more expensive. So Gandhi led the first salt march (Learnodo-newtonic.com,2017). He started by himself and was then joined by 80,000 Indians. The walk was a complete violation of the British’s laws, which is one of the reasons it drew so much attention. Gandhi’s worldview was very different and unique to the worldviews of others. His worldview was very modernistic and he was wise beyond his ages. ]]> 2017-04-11 05:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165811831 Indian Policy made by the British gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165812799 2017-04-11 05:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165812799 gscarpan https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165812844 2017-04-11 05:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gscarpan/epesad5f88ka/wish/165812844
