"A philatelic journey through Mahatma Ghandi's life." __The Hindu__ 30 > Jan 2009 18 Feb 2009 .

Stamps with Ghandi were printed for the 50th year of the Indian Republic. The United States was the first to print stamps showing him as the apostle of non-violence. This shows Ghandi as a good role model because it shows that he has lived beyond his own life by accomplishing great things in his life. It also shows that he is remembered for his philosophies and leadership.

This article says that Ghandi believed Democracy was a great thing because all are represented. We have to listen to the other side. He believes that the weakest should have the same opportunity as the strong. This shows that he thinks all are equal and that all should have an opportunity. He says that you have to stand up for what’s right, even if it’s against the majority.

Ghandi was not a great student. His brother had to help him to get to law school. He did legal studies and was a lawyer. He fought against Indian racism. He fought British rule through non-violence. This shows that you don’t have to be the best to do something good. He shows that if you stay with it, you can achieve great things.

Mahatma fasted so that Britain did what he said, if he were to have died when fasting, the country would have revolted. So Britain had to do what he said. He has inspired many others with his philosophies, such as Martin Luther King Jr. This shows him as a good role model because he actually inspired other role models with his thinking.

Ghandi believed in non-violent protesting. He said that non-violence was man’s greatest weapon, even greater than a nuclear bomb. He was killed when going out for his regular prayer one evening. This shows that he made the ultimate sacrifice for doing what he believed was right.

Ghandi lead the freedom movements of South Africa. He believed that all were equal and should be treated fairly, and that one can’t restrain the many. This shows that he infused many with a sense of nationalism and shows him as a great leader.

Mahatma Ghandi believed that all cultures and beliefs were equal. He said that non are inferior or superior. He didn’t want people to think themselves better than others. This shows him as a good role model because he treats all cultures equally and believes that all should be able to believe whatever they want.

This article talks about how Ghandi worked with Tagore and Bose to free India. It tells how he kept a request by Tagore to watch his hospital when he died. This shows that you sometimes need help from others and that you don't have to always do things on your own.

Walz, Tom, and Ritchie Heather. "Ghandian Principles in Social > Work Practice: Ethics Revisited." __Social Work__ '2009' p213-222. 19 Feb 2009 > .

This article says that ethics have become less and less important with the new technologies. It says that Mahatma should be viewed as a social activist in this new world. His principles are seeking truth, non-violence, and self-development. I think this article shows that having good beliefs and following them, despite what anyone says, can make you a great person.
