  1. Change By Kailey Morris

  2. How Ghandi changed the world? • Ghandi made the world better by providing peace, and caring for India. • His model of non-violent resistance became a model for other men with causes including Martin Luther King, Jr.

  3. How do we change the world? • In my opinion we kind of change it by offering peace and love. • when we go to war we help the united states if they need help we help them. • I think that we don’t really change the world together its more people themselves that try and change the world.

  4. Gandhi & The U.S peace movement • Gandhi's influence on the peace movement was starting to be noticed around the early 1920's. An effective writer on Gandhi's ideas was John Haynes Holmes (Unitarian minister and reformer). • He had first started his interesting discovery on Gandhi in a sermon called ''The Christ of Today", which had been widely produced. • Between the world wars, a strong social action became an important force in american life. Pacific methods were regarded as more appropriate instruments than violence for the attainment of the social and political objectives.Religious leaders were also attracted by Gandhis outstanding efforts to apply religious insights to both social and political problems.

  5. Canada and united states • Canada and the United States are pretty close they help each other out on a lot of things. • They pretty much changed each other by helping one another. • Canada and the United States aren’t that different they like to help and care about both countries.

  6. Gandhi's influence on the Quakers • Quakers are members of the society who advocate peace. These peace advocates were attracted to Gandhi because of their similar interest in the effect of religious experience. Rufus Jones (philosopher and leader in the Quaker affairs) was impressed by the spiritual force of Gandhi's personality, and in much later years referred to him as "the greatest person now living on our planet". • The country had soon begun the depression era, along with Hitler on the rise. This leadership element was impressed by the anti-imperialist and the anti-colonial view of the Indian Independence movement and there were always those who were pleased to see the Indians "twisting the British Lion's tail." Reinhold Niebuhr (influential figure in religious circles) had argued that Gandhi's satyagraha was a type of social and political coercion • Gandhi changed them by saying that there shouldn’t be any violence and by peace and love.

  7. Canada has changed • Canada has changed in many different ways we are now trying to recycle and stop the pollution. • Canada is making new laws so that many people are safer and they will try and protect them. • Canada does want to change and give peace and love all around but it is hard for something to change so fast.

  8. Led india • Mahatma — led India's independence movement in the 1930s and 40s by speaking softly without carrying much of a big stick, facing down the British colonialists with stirring speeches and non-violent protest. • He led India so they could be more peaceful and try and stop the violence, all Gandhi wanted was peace and love.

  9. Canada • Canada is trying to make a change in the world and trying to avoid the violence and just try and put peace and love out there. • People are trying to change the world everyday and make it easier on us. • Parents change kids life's because they are a big influents on are life’s.

  10. Gandhi • Mahatma Gandhi, an ordinary man, constantly applied his basic ideals of truth, love and service to transform himself into one of the greatest spiritual leaders of the 20th century. He led a 30 year campaign of non-violent resistance and eventually led India to freedom from British rule in 1947. • Gandhi liked to campaign for what he really believed in.

  11. campaign • Canadians didn’t like the fact that they were making little kids work in sweatshops, so they campaigned so they could stop making kids work in the sweatshops. • They also had kids working in the banana plantation and they were trying to change it because so many people started dying from the toxic stuff that they were using, many people would lose there husband.

  12. India • If you want to India today you would see that it has changed from when Gandhi helped them become independent from the Britsh. • However, you will also find in India the laughter clubs which help to enhance your immune system and move closer to how God wants you to respond to the pressures of life. • Gandhi not only changed India forever, his ideas helped changed the whole world. The concept of non-violence was taught to him as a child and he lived according to this belief his entire life. His example provided a formative role model for Martin Luther King in his struggle for civil rights and Caesar Chavez in his struggle to organize farm workers. Both King and Chavez effectively utilized the long marches that Gandhi employed. You repeatedly see in the movie two types of marches. The march of non-violent protest designed to bring injustice to the attention of the world, the kind of march that lifts the soul and makes you a better person.

  13. Religious and open-minded • Gandhi was both religious (he was Hindu) and open-minded, and saw the different religions as paths to the same goal. He was inspired by the teachings of Jesus, in particular the emphasis on love for everyone, even one’s enemies, and the need to strive for justice. He also took from Hinduism the importance of action in one’s life, without concern for success; the Hindu text Bhagavad-Gita says, “On action alone be thy interest, / Never on its fruits / Abiding in discipline perform actions, / Abandoning attachment / Being indifferent to success or failure”

  14. Believed • Gandhi also firmly believed that if violence was used to achieve any end – even if it was employed in the name of justice – the result would be more violence. But such pragmatism in matters of non-violence was unimportant to Gandhi. • He also believed that violence was never the answer and he was going to change it so it wasn’t that way.

  15. DIFFICULT TIMES • Gandhi most difficult time was when he was fighting towards the British, the fight between the British was called Satyagrah, Gandhi developed Satyagraha as the practical extension of ahimsa and love; it meant standing firmly behind one’s ideals, but without hatred. Satyagraha took the form of civil disobedience and non-cooperation with evil.

  16. Is Gandhi’s non violent possible in today’s world? • Violence seems to be ever present in our changing society. From early Revolutions to World War I and II, to the modern day war on terror, we seem to resort to violence for change. • violence is everywhere in the world no matter how hard people try and stop, there is wars pretty much everyday and it is hard to stop because most people just don’t want peace.

  17. Jail • When India finally gained independence, the problem became how Hindus and Muslims would share power. Distrust spilled over into violence. Gandhi spoke out for peace and forgiveness. • Gandhi was jailed many times. At one trial he said, “In my humble opinion, non-cooperation with evil is as much a duty as is cooperation with good.” When he was released, he continued leading non-violent protests.

  18. Unhappy • India finally became independent in 1947 but Gandhi was unhappy with the settlement because it divided India into two states - India and Pakistan - the first largely for Hindus, the second largely for Muslims. Gandhi did his best to pacify the violence between Hindus and Muslims and his work achieved some success. But in 1948 he was shot and killed by a fellow Hindu who believed Gandhi was betraying the Hindus by working for reconciliation.

  19. Gandhi • Gandhi was a man that really liked to have peace and love and forgiveness in the world, he was really hoping to change the world and to have a lot of changes know a days. • But everything want back to normal ever since. He didn’t like the fact that there was wars, but still now a days there is wars and many places are unhappy. Even though Gandhi tried to change the world.
