Malcolm X contribution to change
When considering Malcolm X's life, his life experiences that are cultural society and his belief have many social and cultural implications for his life experiences. Malcolm's life is all about his religious and racial factors in the fighting for the African American's right in the American community where they are oppressed by the white. The fight includes the fight for their civil right, where the policy is sorted through his force and fights towards the African American. His fight was responsible for changing the African American name from the name Negros and coloured to afro American and blacks. His association with Afro American unity was meant to fight for the civil rights of human right. He considered that the most important issue was nit the voting right but the need to preserve the blacks' integrity, identity, and independence. His fight is the key to the youth’s motivation, his effort in attaining educational achievement, his belief and stand on his religious choice, his fight towards the right and freedom of the African American, his fight against the white people's evils in society, his influence in the political and religious grounds, and his sacrifice for the need of the fellow African American.
After Malcolm was imprisoned, his interest in education and teaching commitment is crucial in developing policy and knowledge. To acquire knowledge in all the fields, he was interested in. He spent most of his time in the library, where he memorised the dictionary and participated in debates to strengthen his forensic skill (Tucker, and Jed B.185). The need for education as the vital weapon toward eradicating oppressive policies and fighting for their right is the key to Malcolm’s discussion. The skill obtained through education is the key to individual development, emphasising the need for education to the youths as the fighting tool. Education is, in this context, considered the key to the development of the policies that were essential for the fighting for African Americans. His fight in the African American and the white is based on the organisation's formation, which was the key to its success. His knowledge through debate was the key to debating the policy changes and maintaining education's importance.
The religious change and adoption of the Islamic faith were followed by the following of the faith and practices, which is the key to decision making where one has to stand with the choices they make. In response to the Islamic religious belief that Malcolm had to change his name to commit to the Islamic religion, they regarded the family names as white. This led to changing his name from little to X; his stand in the Islamic religion is considered an achievement in response to his influence on the period (Jones, and Trevin. 420). The growth and development are used as the symbol of commitment and the result as the time was recorded to have the greatest growth and influence in the Islamic religion. The youth's commitment to the activities of interest can be considered a vital tool for achieving their goal as the Islamic community acted as a tool for Malcolm's political and religious goals.
African American oppression required to address on both the political and religious grounds where Malcolm’s organisations do the activities. His fight towards the African American right, from the civil right to the human right, indicates that the youths can fight for the less privileged. The key to the development and policies that fought for the African right was through the development of Islam's nation, based on African American rights (Jones, and Trevin., 422). The development of afro American's organisation was the main tool for changing African American rights from civil right to human right through Malcolm's direction. His fight is also associated with changing the African American name to Afro American or the blacks; all this fight indicates that the people's right can be attained through the fight and policy-making to better society.
African American's oppression was affected by the white, where he was the key to fighting white people's evil. His fight against the African American's oppression was done by the whites who could not identify the Africans and consider their integrity, where Malcolm was more concerned about (Malcolm, 2). The use of the name negros by the white was degrading the African America where they considered them as coloured, thus not part of the community. This was the response to the restriction on the civil and human right as they considered them not part of the community. The development of an organisation can prevent the oppression of the people in the community in the current world done by the first class to fight for their rights and condemn evils done by the fellow citizens and members. In addressing the evils in society, he never considered race, where he addressed Mohamed's evils despite their religious and political policies.
Malcolm's effect on society, both politically and religiously, was the key to change despite using all the means possible in the community. In return, the influence as the key to the development of African American policies and rights emphasises using the influence and power to societal change (Varda, et al., 14). The influence is the key to the change. It tries to advocate for people's power to better society without interfering with individuals' personal needs as interference. Malcolm used his influence to advocate for the change in the African American through the nation of Islam and Afro American organisation where they fought for their right and acceptance. This organisation is the base for developing the black nationalist ideology and the black power movement, which are formed due to his ideologies, ideas, speeches he offered, and martyrdom. This provides the base for the leaders to fight and use their influence to fight for the community's development and betterment using their influence in society.
The African American community's development and change are built under organisations and individuals who sacrifice their interests and life for community change and betterment. This plays a vital role in policy development and changes through the fight by the influential people in the community. The fight should ensure that the community protects the less privileged in the community as the people who are usually disadvantaged by the high-class policy. The evils in the communities are best controlled by the law enforcers who should be on the frontline in eradicating evils like corruption without considering or favouring some parties. In response to the people fighting for human rights and the oppressed, the government should ensure their safety to protect the people's interest. The death of the influential African American leaders and the freedom fighters for the people indicates the commitment the leaders should have in fighting for the community betterment and development by eradicating racial discrimination of the nation's development economically, socially and politically.
