What if I told you it only takes a single individual to change the world? Sure, as a child we were told that by dreaming big and working hard we could do anything we set our minds to but very few people can actually claim they accomplished something during their time on this Earth that legitimately reshaped the course of humanity. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi is one of these extraordinary humans that can truly be said to have changed the world. He did so based on the simple belief that “Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth”. This quote by Gandhi really stood out to me because it epitomizes his overall messages of morality, tolerance, and perseverance that were demonstrated throughout the film.
The central theme throughout …show more content…
In addition to information from class, the film and Gandhi’s teachings can be linked to current events happening all over the world today. One of Gandhi’s quotes really stood out to me due to the current state of our country, specifically the upcoming presidential election and all of the madness that inevitably comes with it. The quote, “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” is a reminder that just because a few people may be hateful and dishonest, we as a country need to come together in unison so as not to further dirty the metaphorical ocean Gandhi was referring …show more content…
It told the story of a single person who, beyond question, reshaped the world and did so while also educating me as a viewer. Seeing that it took so much effort and poise, between the hunger strikes, calls for unity and non-violence, organization of the masses, and peaceful protests for Gandhi to get his message across and liberate India helped me to see that our world is ever-changing. I was able connect many parts of the film to topics and lectures covered in class as well as see that Gandhi and his message of non-violence and tolerance have impacted and will continue to impact the world long after his

    Mahatma Gandhi Dbq

    Gandhi, world leader, prison inmate, pacifist, lawyer. This man started a non-violent movement in India, against that of British rule in the area. How did it work, though? How did one man, who could probably be picked up and carried by the average British soldier manage to diffuse the greatest Empire man had known at the time? This was because of two simple reasons: that to the end he chose to be peaceful, (which showed the wrongness of the British rule), and that he was influential, persuasive even to his people and the British.…

    In the Film “Waiting for Superman” the representation of schools in America is weighted down greatly by the “bad” or prone to failure schools.

    Mother Jones's View Of The Great Depression

    I would definitely say that this film broadened my understanding of the great depression in a way that a lecture never could. I have learned about the great depression many times throughout my education but I never realized how desperate these people really were. Tom and his family's trip is a great example of this. It amazed me that Tom’s entire family fit in a single car and drove across the country to look for work that wasn’t even guaranteed. Then the family found out, from a man in the camp they were staying in, that the work they were seeking probably wasn’t available anymore.…

    Health In America Documentary Analysis

    The film was enlightened my idea on our health issues. The one thing that bothered me the most was that we see our country represented in good health, yet Americans spend a lot of money on their medical care and still live a much shorter and very sick lives compared to other countries. America only ranked thirtieth for life expectancies and more babies die in our country than in lower poverty countries. I really did not realize that forty-seven million people in our country did not have health coverage. People that are well off and are in the top one percent of their income have more money that the bottom ninety percent of others income put together.…

    The Debut Film Analysis

    The Debut (2000) was a film presenting the positive aspects of the Filipino culture, using the real problems and relatable issues that teenagers face. This film is one of the first films I’ve viewed which portrays an Asian culture as what it truly is. Unlike many other films and scenes in Hollywood cinema, this film did not use negative stereotypes or derogatory topics as its main base. Director Gene Cajayon is from the Filipino agency and grew up in its heritage; this reflects on the films true use of Tagalog, traditions, relationships, and cultural values. What was particularly enjoyable was the scenes of dancing and singing that are accurate presentations of the Tinikling dance with string instruments.…

    Personally, I feel like race is a difficult subject to talk about. I never want to step on anyone’s toes, and I feel as if I don’t have the right to talk about race. I have never experienced a disadvantage because of the color of my skin, but I am aware that I am held at different standards because I am white. I realize that racism is an issue that many people deal with on a daily basis. Therefore, I try to be aware of my biases and try learn more about myself.…
