"Brand Malala" Response Prep, Marwan Saadeh

                             
              In the text by Grayson we saw lots of different views, topics, and perspectives concerning exploitation, oppression, sexism, and terrorism. First, the social perspective focuses on the inequality and the mistreatment of women. As Grayson stated: "that women exploitation is in-grained in her society". Where the plight of Malala has been adressed but many other issues remain unadressed. For example the plight of the widows who lost their husbands by the hands of their state, the inequality in labour between the sexes, and suppresing women's desires and ambitions in the Pakistani society which is an example of what happens in eastern societies.

              Now to address the author's emotional perspective. We can clearly see the anger in Grayson's tone throughout the text. The frustration is obvious. She hates how Malala is being exploited. She hates how the west makes use of the media in order to shed light on certain subjects while withholding other subjects in darkness. When she mentioned "asylum seekers", undermining the fact that they are war "torture victims" we can also see the irony here.  Yet we can also see her support to Malala's cause and her compassion which is being disturbed by money seekers' exploitation of Malala's story.

              Furthermore, to address the rhetorical perspective. Grayson emphasized lots of persuasive tools in order to grasp the audience's attention. The use of quotes, mentioned by Jonathan Rao: " i guess i was worried that she was probably a pawn in a bigger game and was being unduly influenced by the people around her". Stating facts about how the BBC took advantage of Malala's story. How the Queen Elizabeth Hospital takes in certain individuals while considering "lesser others" unworthy of care. We also saw lots of shifts and transitions, and repetition to further clarify her point. Lots of repetition about Malala's exploitation and shifting from there to inequality then to oppression, and then to the support of her cause.

             In addition, the logical perspective was also put to use. Grayson deducted that her government was being negligent to certain topics like the injustice and the oppression of the British Government while highlighting Malala's story. " The acceptable face of Islam". The "terrorism of Taliban" the USA "collateral damage", which is also a hidden form of greater terrorism, the murder of children and innocent bystanders. Grayson supported her claims with the use of such evidence, and she concluded that Malala should be left alone to persue her education/career not be used as a pawn to satisfy the money-grubbing companies.

            Finally, the ethical perspective Grayson discussed, and showed her disturbance that even though Malala was being exploited her safety wasn't being adressed. The media even covered the locations Malala was attending which shows the possibility of her being targeted again. Grayson also compared Malala's situation with Rigoberta Menchu who won a Nobel Prize by taking advantage of the extended coverage being provided to her by the media. She also pointed out that one campaigner was refused of his right even though he was on his deathbed. The BBC spoke of him: "He died a disappointed man" ignored by Gordon Brown. She also discussed the importance of support in aiding an individual to overcome trauma. About how many are untreated no matter how hard they struggle while others are easily supported. Grayson mentioned these ethical issues of huge import to further impact the reader.
