Education/ Lack of education
Positive impacts: Education has a positive impacts on individual level and social level
Education is a vital prerequisite to mass social change
Symbol - the pen
"There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen"
Knowledge puts people in a position of power and independence, whereas deprivation of knowledge renders people vulnerable
"They are scared of the pen"
Through the personification of the pen, Malala’s father implies that religious extremists are “scared” of knowledge, because if the people were to obtain it their propagandist methods would fail.
"One child, one teach, one book and one pen can change the world"
By employing the anaphora of “one child, one teacher, one book…” Malala stresses her belief that individuals have the power to transform “the world.” as long as they have access to education
"I began to see that the pen and the words that come from it can be much more powerful than machine guns, tanks or helicopters. We were learning how to struggle. And we were learning how powerful we are when we speak.
it enables individuals to achieve their goals, to build their future and achieve personal enlightment

Malala
"The school is my world and my world is the school"
The importance of getting education.
she highlights how education can shape her future
Events
"Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow. Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.
Negative impacts:
Miseducation can be a negative force for change
Miseducation about Islam
“They are abusing our religion,” I said in interviews. “How will you accept Islam if I put a gun to your head and say Islam is the true religion? If they want every person in the world to be Muslim why don’t they show themselves to be good Muslims first?”
"
“I consider Western democracy a system imposed on us by infidels. Islam does not allow democracy or elections.”
Te Holy Quran clearly says it is wrong to kill
Miseducation about gender role (essentially this is a part of miseducation about Islam)
The Quran teaches us sabar—patience—but often it feels that we have forgotten the word and think Islam means women sitting at home in purdah or wearing burqas while men do jihad.
"They don't think the power is in hands of the women who tales care of evert one all day long, and gives birth to their children"
Consequences
Peoples' life is affected as they fall prey to propaganda/extremism
Vulnerable people who are poor and don't have access to education will become susceptible to Taliban's propaganda and miseducation
"They saw Fazullah as a kind of Robin Hood"
"many of the boys were taken in by the JuD and housed in their madrasas. In Pakistan, madrasas are a kind of welfare system as they give free food and lodging, but their teaching does not follow a normal curriculum. The boys learn the Quran by heart, rocking back and forth as they recite. They learn that there is no such thing as science or literature, that dinosaurs never existed and that man never went to the moon."
Prejudice is perpetuated
It's harder for activists to create changes when people are not educated about what is good and what is bad
They want to interview a small girl, but the girls are scared, and even if they’re not, their parents won’t allow it. I have a father who isn’t scared, who stands by me. He said, ‘You are a child and it’s your right to speak.
Root causes of lack of education
People with low socio-economic background do not have access to education
"Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected"
Women and girls' needs of getting education is denied by their male family members/by the schools/by the Taliban. -> Gender discrimination prevents women from getting education
