Wangari Maathai- Nobel Peace Prize

For this assignment I had to research the Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2010, Liu Xiaobo.

What issue(s) caused Liu to take action?:  The lack of Human rights in China.

Was the issue local or global? Explain: This issue is global but Liu mostly geared his intentions toward China.

How did the person take action?: Liu took action by making a voice for all Chinese people. Even though he did that, he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for trying to overthrow the government.

What media channels did he use to take action? How did he use each?: Lui used... Logos, and Ethos.
He used logos because he used statistics of how many people are in need of rights and used that to draw people in to supporting him. He used Ethos because he used real peoples stories about Human rights and used them to draw people in to support it.

How does this person inspire you?: Liu inspires me because he used his voice instead of him body to get human rights in China. This man is an inspiration to me and should be to many other kids in the world!! :)
