         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe the reason behind what inspires people to take action in their world is a problem that jeopardizes freedom or human rights. The reason why I believe this to be true is you&nbsp; take a look our history as hummans great leaders like Martin Luthier King Junior, and Abraham Lincoln they stood up for their beliefs and made a change .When I think about it Martin Luthier King Junior ,he believed that racism was not fair to people with darker skin had less rights than people that had lighter skin. He did diside to speak out and he changed many minds of U.S. citizens. Abraham on the other hand believe that it was not fair to force people to work nonstop with no pay. Abraham spoke out , and helped end slavery in the U.S .&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>What inspires people to take action?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I think there are many things that can make people take action. Some ways are through love, lost and anger. I think though that lost is the most common one. I will talk about in what ways Malala lost things, like her peace. Then tell you how this inspired her to step up. </div><div><br></div><div>The first thing that Malala lost was her country’s schools. The Taliban started bombing schools in Pakistan. When Malala heard this she begin to speak louder because she knew they were trying to silence her. The next thing she almost lost was her life. The Taliban shoot her in a bus on the way home. But this attempt of silence only made one voice into a million. So now she spoke as if they were right behind her cheering her on.</div><div><br></div><div>Those are they reasons why it’s not love or anger, it’s lost. She loses schools and speaks up more. She also most loses her life and speaks up louder than before. She takes that pain and sorrow and turn is it not energy. And she takes that energy and puts it into her most important and thing, her voice.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Like many others state, it’s important to take action to improve their world. Many people in the world have opinions like what kind of clothes to wear, and what they do. In my opinion it’s very important to take action in my community and move to improve my world. These opinions of the humans speaking out and taking action to change our world.</div><div><br></div><div>According to the TedEdx Teen speech, the speaker Natalie Warne spoke out and took action. She works with the Invisible Children movement, these children were being handed guns to either kill their family, or friends for no reason. Natalie found out that 30,000 children were abducted by a rebel leader named “Joseph Cooney”. Her action was too go to 9 cites in the U.S and get the celebrity's attention to End the longest War in Africa. She acted to save 30,000 children in East Africa still fighting to get over this “hurdle”. She was 18 years old starting the protest to end the longest running war in Africa. Her advice is to speak out and save the world, any age is not too young to make a change/ difference.</div><div><br></div><div>Martin Luther King Jr. is a inspirational speaker and a memorable person. He is known for his speech “I have a dream”. Mr. King a activist searching for the right moment to speak for less fortunate people, people that are black and are made fun of. This man has changed our mindset, he spoke in front of thousands of people just to change the world that he was living in. He we inspired to change is world because he was black and was always made fun of, he wanted this to stop. It was the feeling of always walking outside and getting pushed around that made him so confident to speak up and stop these people pushing him and other blacks/ African Americans around.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Many people around the world speak up to change their world in a different way, also many people have different opinions. It’s what makes people inspired to fight or to take action and improve their world/ environment. These can change one person or thousands, just as Martin Luther King Jr. said “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This is what inspires others (In this case Martin Luther King Jr.) to take action to improve their world.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><em>What inspires people to take action in the world By: MAX CRIPE</em></div><div><br></div><div>Inspiration is sometimes hard to come by, but know in this world many people are standing up. Why? I feel that people are not being inspired, but are realizing. When you realize, you are inspired to do the right thing, at least in your mind.</div><div>It may not be the right thing and you may not think about it first, but you realize what you think and the action goes from there. It can be applied to anything. You lied, though you realized it was right to do. You realized that helping your friend was right, so you did it.</div><div>	When something comes into your head that you act. You may realize things twice, and take action for them. How do you realize. Well your brain is comparing something, and makes a connection. It may be that more boys go to school than girls, then you say ¨Girls should go to school.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Making a change is no easy task. Anybody could tell you that. But if you truthfully want a change to occur you must push through the boundaries of fear. No matter what struggles you face you have to push through to succeed.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Change is something that people work for when they see an issue or a problem occurring . When I see stories on the news or online that talk about somebody making a change in their community or in their area it tells me that there was an issue that they wanted to address. But what inspires a person to make a change that will affect people world wide? Well Malala made a change when she saw a deprivation of education in her community, so if somebody else is gonna make a world wide change it will be because they don’t like the way things are happening around the world. It seems as if it would be an easy task to stand up for what’s right, but truthfully nobody will make a change unless they are courageous and brave and willing to go through any challenges they might face along the way.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>People that make changes have no boundaries as to how far they will go to make a change. I feel that people will make a change when they’re frightened or scared of what the outcome could be if they don’t make a change. Malala made a change because she feared that without a change girls would not know how to live an everyday normal life that woman in other countries got to experience. Not only that but it wouldn’t be fair if women got less of an education then men, because everybody deserves a right to education. If you really want to make a change you can’t wait and wait to do so until the time is right because in reality the time isn’t just going to seem right, you have to make the right time in order to make the right change, I think the people that are inspired to make a change realize that they can’t just wait for the right time to come.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Luke Xu</div><div><br></div><div>I think that the driving force behind those who change the world is oppression. When people are shut down and are told that they cannot, they will fight for what they believe. It is kind of like a caged monkey. As it is caged in and oppressed it will try harder at breaking out. People are the same and it just makes sense because when we are told no, it will make us want to prove ourselves by doing the thing they said we could not do.</div><div><br></div><div>For example, Martin Luther King Jr. was discriminated and his children were treated with disrespect. This drove Luther to start his campaign against racism. Another example is Michael Jordan, his chia chip told him he was worthless and in the next few years, he rose to fame and went down in history as one of the greatest players. These people were told that they were worthless and useless but they realized that they were human being too and they defied those who held them back, rising above their limits at the same time. Mahatma Gandhi was a activist that fought for the British for India’s rights. The British said no and so, he fought and his voice was heard throughout the world.</div><div><br></div><div>For ages, people have been oppressed and abused. But every time, we have risen to the challenge and shown our masters that we are human too. We have pushed pass our boundaries countless times after those in control have doubted us. Everyday we look around and we can see the fruits of our labor. The person who made the lightbulb was told that it was impossible. But here we are, surrounded by lights wherever we walk. Oppression has pushed us past the sorrows of today and into the promises that the future holds.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Jaedyn Adler</div><div><br></div><div> I believe  what inspires people to take action, is when they see something wrong happening around them. This has been seen all around the world in many examples. For example Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, saw that black people could play baseball just as well as anyone else, if not better. Also Mr. Rickey saw segregation as a awful thing in fact “In a 1956 speech to the “One Hundred Percent Wrong Club” in Atlanta, about 9 years after Jackie Robinson began playing in the MLB, Rickey discussed his decision to end segregation in baseball and the factors he found necessary to achieve this, as well as the obstacles he faced along the way.” (Credit to: Sports in Black and White).</div><div>This is a prime example of someone being inspired to take action because they saw wrong happening around them. Branch Rickey saw segregation in baseball happening (wrong) so he decided to break the color boundaries in baseball with the help of Jackie Robinson. </div><div><br></div><div>    Another example is Rosa Parks, she was inspired to fight segregation laws and to stand up for what is right. She boarded a bus in Alabama and had sat in the front section of the bus, and for the most part it was fine, no big deal. A few stops later, a white man boarded the bus, and then the bus driver demanded Rosa to move to the back of the bus, she refused to move. The bus driver warned her, but she didn't move; the bus driver called the police, and they took her to jail. This act caused the Montgomery Bus Boycott; Rosa Parks saw segregation and decided to rebel against what was wrong, and stand up for what was right.  Another example of people being inspired to take action because of problems, are the brave kids at Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. After the tragic shooting, those kids drove all the way to the White House and protested for stricter gun regulations. They caused a chain reaction all over the country; kids have been walking out of school, protesting, and speaking out for stricter gun regulations. These kids were inspired to tell congress to have stricter gun regulations because of all these sad school shooting/attacks. </div><div><br></div><div>    In conclusion, people of the past and present have always been inspired to take action because of problems happening.  Many people see things that are unfair, wrong, dangerous, or just not right, and find the courage to take action to make changes.  Segregation was a nationwide problem and many people risked their jobs, property and even their lives to put an end to it.  Today, people of all ages are standing up and showing that they are fed up and tired of being scared; people are uniting and taking action to change our world. Altogether many people have taken action because they see problems that they feel the urge to act on. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>    </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Lexy Richards&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Like most people everyone has a opinion on something, weather it is the shoes you decide to wear, or the food you eat, or what you believe in there are always opinions on everything. I often find myself giving my opinion. More people than you would imagine do not have the opportunity to go to school. Or freedom to living what we would call a “normal life”. About 253 million minors do not have the opportunity to attend school. There are about 7.6 billion living on earth right now and 253 million can’t attend school. What I think makes people inspired to take action to change their world is when they have gone through something unexplainable.</div><div><br></div><div>Malala was about 15 years old when the taliban got on her bus and shot her. Why did they do it? Because she did something a lot of us can’t do. She used her voice for what she believed. Malala spoke against the taliban for girls education. In Swat Valley girls are not allowed to have a education. Malala's father was a teacher in Swat Valley he created the school with hundreds of dollars. A average school costs hundreds of thousands even millions.</div><div><br></div><div>Malala and I are in common along with a lot of other people. We both believe in people getting a educated. I'm going to speak for myself saying before I read Malala's story I did not like attending school, but after I read it and found out how fortunate I am to be attending school that totally changed my mindset of going to school, I am all the way thankful now for my rights to be at school. When someone has been through something hard they want to change it, and they get inspired to use their voice to change something for the better.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Words are the sounds people make. Words are also sounds that others hear. Words can change the world, words can start a fight, and words can even be inspiring. If you are inspired by other people, you can change your own world. You can do your part to make it right. Words allow you to share your opinions and thoughts, and they allow you to make the world a better place.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Being inspired by people can help spread the word about an issue to the world. If the problem is bigger than yourself, people can help you. This is why it is important to speak out.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There are many people who have spoken to the world for important reasons. They usually speak up for others rights. One person who spoke out for others rights was Martin Luther King. He was recognized as a person who fought for freedom. He, and many others were being treated badly, just because of their skin color. When he spoke out, it changed the world. One thing he said was, “ Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” He is saying that people who do not speak up forget about the importance of an issue.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;It is so important to speak up. Words are the most powerful thing on earth. Although, you need people to say them. So, speak up for yourself, and others who cannot speak for themselves. Speak for the world.</div><div><br></div><div>Citations:</div><div>Gould, Syke, and Chris Weller . “12 Inspiring Quotes From Martin Luther King Jr. .” Business Insider, 15 Jan. 2018, 10:30am, www.businessinsider.com/inspiring-martin-luther-king-jr-quotes-2017-1?r=UK&amp;IR=T.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Like many others state, it’s important to take action to improve their world. Many people in the world have opinions like what kind of clothes to wear, and what they do. In my opinion it’s very important to take action in my community and move to improve my world. These opinions of the humans speaking out and taking action to change our world.</div><div><br></div><div>I think it’s very important to take action to improve my world because the world doesn’t change on its own it has to have a “boost” of self confidence. The one thing I have done to inspires others, was for example I was with my friend and we combined our money, and found food to give to the homeless. It was very important to my friend and I, to give back and recognize the homeless people. What makes me feel inspired to take action is to know someone that haven’t done yet and make “my own mark on.”</div><div><br></div><div>Martin Luther King Jr. is a inspirational speaker and a memorable person. He is known for his speech “I have a dream”. Mr. King a activist searching for the right moment to speak for less fortunate people, people that are black and are made fun of. This man has changed our mindset, he spoke in front of thousands of people just to change the world that he was living in. He we inspired to change is world because he was black and was always made fun of, he wanted this to stop. It was the feeling of always walking outside and getting pushed around that made him so confident to speak up and stop these people pushing him and other blacks/ African Americans around.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Many people around the world speak up to change their world in a different way, also many people have different opinions. It’s what makes people inspired to fight or to take action and improve their world/ environment. These can change one person or thousands, just as Martin Luther King Jr. said “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” This is what inspires others (In this case Martin Luther King Jr.) to take action to improve their world.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe the reason behind what inspires people to take action in their world is a problem that jeopardizes freedom or human rights. The reason why I believe this to be true is you&nbsp; take a look our history as humans great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr they stood up for their beliefs and made a change .When I think about it Martin Luther King Junior ,he believed that it was not fair to people with darker skin had less rights than people that had lighter skin. So he did decide to speak out and he changed many minds of U.S. citizens.</div><div><br></div><div>Another reason why I believe inspires people to speak out is a passion that they have . In my opinion when you say the passion I think of something like a sport, like soccer(hokey for me personally), or a hobby like art. But I believe that another reason that inspires people to speak out is passion because again when I look into the past some other great leaders also were probably inspired as well by a passion of theirs. According to abrahamlincon200.org Abraham Lincoln loves to read and when he realized that slaves were not only not paid but uneducated as well. I believe that is one reason that inspired him to start speaking out for a change and finally end most slavery in the United States.</div><div><br></div><div>In conclusion the two main reasons for me of the explanation what inspires people, to take action is their world are a problem and a passion. Why I am convinced that this is true is because of our great leaders now and in history . A final example is Frederick Douglass a slave who gave himself an education and spoke out. Why? I asked at first but the I relied the reason behind it , it was probably a combination of passion and a problem and he wanted to follow his passion and fix his problem and with that he was most likely inspired to speak out and he did make a difference.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In this short essay I will be explaining my opinion on what makes people take action for something. Whether they’re standing up for their rights, education, or something else they believe, they all have something in common. Are you a public speaker? Are you a world wide speaker? Or are you a town speaker? Do you hold fundraisers? Whichever you are I think you all have one thing in common. You all want something to change.</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; To start things off, if you look at Malala, she has done so much for girls rights for education. One of those things is speaking publicly. She has spoken all around the world to change womens rights to education all around the world. This shows that she was speaking up for a change that she believed in. This is just one of the great examples of someone standing and speaking up for something that she believed.</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; In my opinion the main reason that makes people take action is the desire to change something. It doesn’t matter what you do to change something. It’s the fact that you had the grit and determination to do it. Malala took it upon herself to make sure that girls were getting an education. Abraham Lincoln started a war to end slavery and was later assassinated. To sum things up, in my opinion the desire to change something is the driving force that makes people want to take action in something.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>All over the world people are inspired to take action to change and improve life for themselves and citizens. Usually people take action because of injustice and major problems in the world. The injustice can be minor affecting only a few individuals, while sometimes it can be major affecting an entire population. These events large or small motivate people to make a change. The famous Malala Yousafzai experienced injustice and took them on in ways large and small. Malala was born into a country that didn’t believe girls should be educated. Yet still Malala persevered and went to school. Malala said “even if I have to sit on the floor, I will get my education.” In Pakistan her country had a law that women should cover their face, but Malala didn’t because she felt like it was hiding her identity. By breaking the rules she started to make a change. Malala realized that her city was experiencing injustice. So she decided to do what she wanted to do, So that she could prove that everything the Taliban is doing is unfair. The Taliban realized that Malala was defying them so instead of talking it out the Taliban took the shortcut, they shot her in the face. Miraculously Malala survived and rose to speak for women all around the world and for their rights. Malala’s actions are a great example of the ways injustice inspires people to take action.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; I think many things inspire people to take action in their world.&nbsp; Three things that inspire people to change their world are religion, when they feel something is wrong, like slavery, and when they feel something is unfair, like girls being prevented from an education.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; My first example of what inspires people to take action in their world is religion.&nbsp; On <a href="https://www.cnn.com/cnn10">CNN 10</a> February 22, 2018, it tells about Billy Graham a Christian preacher who, over 6 decades, prayed with U.S. presidents, hosted large revival events, and preached to more than two hundred million people around the world.&nbsp; He grew up on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. He attended a revival when he was fifteen that changed his life.&nbsp; After his experience at the revival, Billy Graham became a baptist minister and preached about Christ all around the world.&nbsp; He took action by preaching and religion inspired him to do so.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; My second example of what inspires people to take action, is when they feel something is unfair.&nbsp; When Malala heard the Taliban say that girls should not go to school, she felt it was wrong.&nbsp; She continued to go to school and spoke out against it.&nbsp; When Malala spoke out, the Taliban announced her name on the radio with others who had disobeyed them.&nbsp; When she found out her father’s friend was shot and killed, she was inspired by that to speak out even more.&nbsp; Then on the internet, Malala’s father found a website that said the Taliban would kill her.&nbsp; She was shot, but that did not silence her.&nbsp; When the world found out they helped support her.&nbsp; The Taliban helped Malala capture the world’s attention.&nbsp; Malala still speaks today so she can promote education for girls.&nbsp; She was motivated by people who tried to stop her from getting an education.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; My third example of what inspires people to take action in their world is slavery.&nbsp; On <a href="https://www.cnn.com/cnn10">CNN 10</a> February 22, 2018, I found a story that talked about a woman who was a slave.&nbsp; Kanchhi Maya Tamang was a maid to a rich family in Cairo and was never allowed to leave the house without supervision.&nbsp; She was abused andher passport was taken away.&nbsp; She begged to go home to see her sick mother.&nbsp; After six years they finally let her free.&nbsp; Kanchhi wanted to raise awareness about modern day slavery to make people aware and to make sure that what happened to her didn’t happen to others around the world.&nbsp; She said that if you speak out normally it is hard to get attention, but if you speak out from the top of the world people will listen.&nbsp; For her the top of the world is Mount Everest. She was able to climb it successfully, now people will listen.&nbsp; Where she lives, there is a lot of human trafficking and women struggle to find jobs.&nbsp; There was an earthquake making the situation even worse.&nbsp; She visited schools on her way to visiting her mom and dad.&nbsp; Her family is poor, but she hopes she will find supporters to help fund the anti-slavery campaign.&nbsp; She now plans to climb other high peaks and mountains with the message, “We are people not property.”&nbsp; This woman was inspired by the unfairness of her situation.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; Therefore, many things inspire people to take action in their world.&nbsp; Like girls being prevented from education, being enslaved, and religion.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; Sources:&nbsp; CNN 10 and Malala’s book/movie.</div><div><br><br></div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think what inspires people to take action is love because Malala loved her school and she stood up for its rights because she loved it. You may think that it might be stupid to stand up for something like school but in Malala’s opinion it was worth it. My opinion is that the reason people stand up for things that they take action in there world is because they want to make it a better place or they want better or equal rights. Malala stood up for her rights because she was not getting them like being able to do something so simple in our world like go to school.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason I think this is because if you look back in time there are multiple times that people have stood up for their rights for example Martin Luther king jr he stood up for black and white people have the same rights. Malala was not the first she just was one of many there were also people who stood up for women’s rights. I feel we should also recognize the other people that stood up for something they believe in or need the right. </div><div><br></div><div>Most of us dread going to school because we think it is boring the one thing that we don’t think of is all the other people in the world that can’t go to school because they aren’t supposed to. Event morning we complain about having to go to school there is a person that is risking their life or getting yelled at for going to school. Kids across the world climb huge mountains, or cross rivers to get to school. Or they are at home hoping that one day they can get an education they are cooking or cleaning, going to the market to get food to make. They need a turn to get something that they are missing.</div><div><br></div><div>Some people a few years back innocent people where killed for standing up for there opinion. Think about it you have so many chances to do things you take some many things for granted. We don’t understand what people have gone through weather it is death or something els. We judge people by looks we don’t even take the time to get to know them we think for them we call them names and do this unthinkable. We don’t know what people have or don’t have some people have a phone or something like that well others can’t have them because it is not allowed or they can’t afford them. Think about trying to get a job without having a education or being given the right to go to college. We are all ready guessing what college we want to well others can’t even do that. </div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion I think we need to focus on Malala and all the other people who stood up for something important like Martin Luther king jr or someone else. It has happened so many times like in the army and in wars. Also there are kids out there who are risking there life so they can go to school. Kids who are climbing mountains, crossing rivers walking 100 or so yards off the ground just to get to school, we take so much for granted like school. We complain about it when there are kids who would die just so they can go. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Many people in the world have done many things that have really had an impact on their and other people world. People like Malala have changed and impacted so much for people. Malala had helped girls who were to scared to speak out about their education rights by speaking out for her and all women who had been to scared to speak out. This really impacted Malala because during this Malala was shot and had been very lucky to live because she was shot in the head, but in the end this made so many people speak out. Now that Malala did that she had made billions of people in the world speak about it and she herself got an education out of speaking out.</div><div><br></div><div>Another person that impacted their own world is Jk Rowling herself. She had decided one day she would right a book and she wrote what is now one of the most popular and most liked series in the world “ The Harry Potter Series.” When Jk Rowling wrote the first book it was so much if a hit that this had impacted her to write another book and then a series. The end results of that ended up in a movie series based of the books that are also one of the most loved movie series in the world. Jk Rowling had written the one best book series in the world and because of&nbsp; what she did the Harry Potter book series had gotten the best seller award.</div><div><br></div><div>Nick Vujicic someone who really had impacted not only his life but many others. He was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare disorder where there is absence of legs and arms. He is a motivational speaker who really had a hard time in life because he didn’t have arms or legs so this made it a daily struggle for him. He motivated so many people around the world and showed them how lucky he was to be alive and that he is no different than anyone else in the world. I impacted his own life because he wanted to show people how lucky they are to be alive and to have arms and legs and because of this many people appreciate what they have in their lives and he appreciates that he is alive even though he has a few less limbs then other epi9 in the world but he isn’t the only one who has that syndrom.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>What inspires people to take action to improve their world? I think what makes people stand up to people that are doing bad things and are not following the law. One reason I think people also think people stand up for education and equal&nbsp; rights. Another reason is religion the reason I say this is because some people believe in other things. And because they see something that is wrong and try to stop&nbsp; what those people are doing. I think the reason that teachers try to make a difference is to try to give everyone an education. Why do you think people stand up to make a difference?<br><br>The reason I say rights is because some places have don’t give women the the right to go to school.&nbsp; I think this because some places education is only for meant for men not for women. Also the reason that I said religion is because there is mixed beliefs about women going to school and women not going to school. The reason I say people believe that women shouldn’t go to school because they think that women should stay home and clean and also take care of the children and cook. And the reason I say women should go to school is so they can have an education and know how to read the labels at the store if they are shopping and read instructions on building something.<br><br>The reason I think people take stand to change the world is because they believe that people should get an education or try to stop people that are making bad choices. The reason I think that Martin Luther king took stand is for equality between races and for people to be treated the same as everyone else is. The reason I Rhine that police try to make a difference is to try to make the economy safer than it already is and to try stopping people from doing bad things.<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>April conilogue</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>What inspires people to take action in their world? Other people besides me may get inspired by other things like people, places, etc. lots of famous people get inspired to be other people and to do what they do like singers and artists. When I think of people getting inspired to change the world I think of teachers, athletes, and olympians they inspire us to be something different then just another person. When we all get inspired we all want to be something other than ourselves we want to be something greater than we were before, we got inspired by something to take action.</div><div>In my opinion i get inspired by people who can do the impossible like olympians I want to become an olympian one day even if it means i haft to do the impossible. I am really sure a lot of people get inspired by people who are better than them. When you see that person that is better than you know that you are a nobody. When people take action they want to make their world better and when your world is better you feel happy and when you are happy that energy goes on to other people and makes them happy. When i think of people getting inspired i think of writers, artists, and singers they all got inspired by someone bigger than them. That's my opinion on how people we get inspired to take action.</div><div>Why do people get inspired to do things amazing? When people get inspired they do things like become president, teacher, Olympian they chose to make sacrifices like put work in everyday into getting in shape going to collage. I'm assuming that everyone has made these sacrifices once in their lifetime. Will you make those sacrifices to take action in your world? I will take action if it means that i will become someone better than who I was. &nbsp;</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>By Lexy Richards&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Like most people everyone has a opinion on something, weather it is the shoes you decide to wear, or the food you eat, or what you believe in there are always opinions on everything. I often find myself giving my opinion. More people than you would imagine do not have the opportunity to go to school. Or freedom to living what we would call a “normal life”. About 253 million minors do not have the opportunity to attend school. There are about 7.6 billion living on earth right now and 253 million can’t attend school. What I think makes people inspired to take action to change their world is when they have gone through something unexplainable.</div><div><br></div><div>Malala was about 15 years old when the taliban got on her bus and shot her. Why did they do it? Because she did something a lot of us can’t do. She used her voice for what she believed. Malala spoke against the taliban for girls education. In Swat Valley girls are not allowed to have a education. Malala's father was a teacher in Swat Valley he created the school with hundreds of dollars. A average school costs hundreds of thousands even millions.</div><div><br></div><div>Malala and I are in common along with a lot of other people. We both believe in people getting a educated. I'm going to speak for myself saying before I read Malala's story I did not like attending school, but after I read it and found out how fortunate I am to be attending school that totally changed my mindset of going to school, I am all the way thankful now for my rights to be at school. When someone has been through something hard they want to change it, and they get inspired to use their voice to change something for the better.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

Maybe there’s a problem and no one else is taking action so they have to. Last week there was another school shooting. Students from the high school in Parkland, Florida are now speaking out about gun laws. They are speaking out because there's a problem and no one's doing anything about it so the students took action.</div><div><br></div><div>People change their world for the better so it can be better for everyone. Martin Luther King jr fought for African Americans’ rights so they could be equal with everyone else. Martin Luther King made the world a better place for everyone. Now African Americans have all the same rights as white people do. Martin Luther King did this because he had a dream to make the world a better place.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Even the smallest of things can change the world. Rosa Parks didn’t get up when a white man asked for her seat. She didn’t do anything extraordinary but she inspired others to stand up and fight for African Americans’ rights. Small maybe even insignificant looking things can do so much for the people around you. The students in Parkland Florida, Martin Luther King king jr, Rosa Parks and many others throughout history have set out to change the world for the better and they inspired others to do the same.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Ian salmeron</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;I believe that people get inspired by things that hype them up. What I mean about “Hype” is like an intensive reaction to something , tons of people watch inspirational videos that makes them dream of what they want to dream of . That's what I think makes people inspired. Also I think people who believe in themselves can inspire others, And when you take all of this and put in a bundle you can change your world.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I’ve read</div><div>some facts about inspirational videos, And they said that the videos inspire people because it shows them putting in hard work, Like for soccer. People get motivated from that because it’s a great feeling when you achieve something that you’ve been working hard on. Back to the question ( What inspires people to take action to improve their world?) motivation makes people improve their world, And makes them fight for what they want to do.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;I’ve talked to several of my neighbors, And they've said that the thing that inspires people is what makes the happy. Ex: when Adele that she could not singing by her music teacher she didn't stop, She sang anyway because that was what made her happy. That is just one reason why she inspires people.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>All and all I think what inspires people is motivation, The reason I say this is because Without it people would just quit. Adele never quit singing and never gave up on herself, And now is one of the most popular singers in the world, And for not giving up on herself she has changed her life forever. She took action and will never look back. Inspiration won’t make you do something that you don't want to do, It will make you do something that you and only you want to do. Tons of educators spend hours and hours working for students and going to school because, That’s what makes them happy.</div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe that morale inspires people to take action. I believe this because in most case, like when people work at homeless shelters, they do it to see the happy grins or thanks that the people give back in return. I call this a transaction or trade. You give someone happiness you get happiness. I think that this is important because most people consider happiness more important than being rich.<br><br>Another reason why I think people are inspired to take action is from things that happened from past experiences. I think that a bad thing that could have happened which was burned into the person's memory. They may want to make a change in the world. For example if there is a homeless man who got beat up, and you witnessed it at a young age. You may still remember it when you become an adult. This person may want to work at homeless fundraisers (like when people serve food to the homeless).<br><br>Finally, my last reason for why I think people take action in the world is empathy. I think this way because if someone were to think "if I were in their shoes, how would I feel". It really opens up what you think of the world. Making people want to make a change. For example, you see a video about kids with cancer, you show empathy and donate money to help. In conclusion, the info above shows my opinion on, " What Inspires People to Take Action?".</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think education is really important for all kids, even girls. Education is important in a lot of different ways. If you couldn’t read or write, you wouldn’t be able to buy things and know how much money you have. </div><div><br></div><div>     Education is also important because if you don’t get educated, you won’t get a good job or even a job at all. If you don’t have a job, you won’t be able to get money. Without money you won't be able to pay for food or even read the prices on the item that you are buying. </div><div>   </div><div>  Subjects in school are fun for kids. Teachers make cool projects so that it isn’t boring. One of the projects you get to pick what you want to do, including making jewelry. I went to science and looked at different cells in a microscope. All of these reasons are why you should go to school. Some kids can’t go to school, and they have to look after the house and clean. Some kids have to look in the garbage for food and bring it home. That’s probably because their family doesn’t have enough money to buy food. If you ever think that education is not important, just think about the people that are not educated. Think what they will do with their life. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In my opinion the things that make people take action in their world is courageous people like Malala. Malala inspired so many people to stand up and take part in their community. An interesting thing is that after Malala was shot she did not stop in proceeding with what she believed was wrong. Malala inspired me in many ways a lot to name but she is very insupational. Also some other people other that Malala such as Ghandi, Martin Luther’s king ext.</div><div><br></div><div>       </div><div>    What all these people did to inspire others changed the view of many other people in the world. That’s a good thing because that will start to make more things equal for everyone and everyone will have to get equal rights. I feel everyone should get equal rights but that’s just my opinion most people don’t think the same. I’m fine with the people that support those things but I think everyone should be equal. What Malala did was amazing same with all the other people that stood up infornt of the world and did not let anyone stop them.</div><div><br></div><div>       All in all everyone should have equal rights with education and many othe things. The days some people are just plain old mean to other people and I really like that they stood up infornt of other people to make a change. </div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; People want to take action to change or improve their world is because they want to learn and improve their space around them. They don’t want to have a toxic space where they can not learn and improve their brain like they should. People want a clean and safe environment to work in and not a place where they can't even walk to school without getting hurt. And i think that everyone should get an education even if you want it or not. You are helpless and&nbsp; cant help yourself if you don't have an education. And education helps you with the basic needs in life. In life you need basic knowledge and you can't do anything without education. And you can't learn from your mistake without education, and no matter who you are you have the right to an education. You can be the worst person in the world and you still need an education. But if you believe that you don't need an education that's your lose not the people who believe in the same religion as you. But some people think that you can't have a education and that women should be helpless and the only people that could help them is their husband and other family members(men only). But if you set your mind to something you can make it yours. And you can make anything yours if you just try and try. But the point of life where you say that you don't want to try and listen to the people who say that nothing is possible and that women don't need an education. That's the point to keep trying and. Because you should always improve your learning and don't stop tell you learn everything which you can never stop because learning goes on forever&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe that people take action and change because of the way they see things and they want to change things or the way they work. Malala stood up to terrorists, Martin Luther king Jr stood up to discrimination and color people rights. People like them want to change the world because they think it’s fair and better for the economy. Education should be a part in everyone’s life, though not many people have it and we take it for granted.</div><div>Imagine you don’t want to go to school for a day, and someone in a place that can't afford school like parts of Africa or Asia wanted to go to school because so they would switch places with you. You go to there home and they go to school for a day. Now in most parts where they don’t have school they have to do chores. Like walk 10 miles for clean water and back or do work like sweep the floor, grow crops and hard work. I’m not saying that you would rather go to school than do chores all day it’s just a reference.</div><div>All in all Malala and many others have changed the world tremendously. From getting girls education to changing the world about color rights. People have been inspired to take action and change the world</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>What takes to make people take action in there own world is many things. One is that it’s how people are treated. For example if I was treated badly I would do something about it to make my world/life better. Also I think what takes people to take action is just how their society is running or how it’s running. For example our world was 9nce rolled by a king and or a queen but that’s not what I’m talking about 8m talking about who ran the city or town or block if you call it&nbsp; that way. But the people who spoke out for them self and there Charleen and their children should have a better and or more of respect. There’s a lot more but for now that’s all the ways I’m going to say for what takes people to make their world better.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;What takes to make people take take action in there own world is how they were treated. For example Rosa,Park. She was African American I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. But since she was African American she got treated and other African Americans also got treated horribly and rude. But she sat in the front&nbsp; of a only chokasin seats. But she thought that was wrong so she sat in front of the bus because she fought for her right and took action to make a point. Many people thought it didn’t change anything but it did.</div><div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Also what makes people take action in there own world is how the society is how it’s running or who’s actually running it. Not like ruled by a king or queen but how the citizens are running it. Let’s go back to the 1900s for example the way how African Americans how they were treated for being African American. But the Caucasians “ran” there town or city. African Americans didn’t like that so a lot stood out and they wanted there world better of how they were treated how they were being disrespectful because as they were African Americans. They wanted there world better so they made a stand and change to their society and for future generations&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
