O4 W3 World History remote learning due by Friday, May 22, 2020

The 20th century was one of the most destructive times in history.  WWI, WWII, and the Cold War dominated the century.  The Soviet Union's Joseph Stalin and Nazi Germany's Adolph Hitler were each responsible for killing 10's of millions of people, but a man of peace emerged during their time.
India's Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869,  Stalin was born in 1879, and Hitler was born in 1889.  Although contemporaries, they each changed the world dramatically, though by very different means.
This week we focus on a man of peace, Mahatma Gandhi.  Mahatma was a title given to Gandhi meaning "great soul".

II.  Gandhi quotes.
   1. What do you think Gandhi meant when he said:  "I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary: the evil it does is permanent."

   2. Rewrite  three more  Gandhi quotes found in the link below.  Explain what you think the quote means or why you agree or disagree with the statement.
from  the quotes below

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well. 

As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it. 

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. 

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Hate the sin, love the sinner. 

Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress. 

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress. 

I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before any one even at the cost of your life. 

I want freedom for the full expression of my personality. 

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth. 

Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy. 

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence. 

It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err. 

One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds. 

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. 

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. 

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. 

When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always. 

You must be the change you want to see in the world. 

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. 

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy? 

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. 

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. 

Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right. 

I think it would be a good idea. Mahatma Gandhi, when asked what he thought of Western civilization
