An Inspiring Person (Complete)

The person who I´m going to talk about is one of the most important people in the last years, I mean Gandhi. His way of thought which was so amazing, is the principal reason that I really admire him.
Since the moment that I got a greater level of consciousness I started to think in the same way that Gandhi did because I´m a very pacific person.
Born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, India, Mahatma Gandhi studied law in order to advocate for the rights of Indians. After studying, he became a spiritual and a political leader. His way of thought, resistance through mass non-violent civil disobedience, allowed him to create a movement whose goal was the independence of Indians but he was jailed for conspiracy.
If Gandhis thoughts both non-violent civil disobedience and honesty gave important results for his country then we´re also able to create judgments to back up (support) a movement against the government and try to find out (discover) solutions in order to hang in (stay positive), in behalf of nowaday situation. Moreover, we we will go after (try to achieve) a new country without discrimination and rights for all at the same level unless we want to live at the wrong way the rest of our lives.

During the Independence Stage, people had to work a lot with a very little payment, in contrast with the modern Mexico, people work an established time and get the right salary provided by law.
By the time of the independence men had more power and better opportunities than women, but in the modern stage, mexicans men and women are equal by law.
At the independence stage people had a lot of needs and very restricted rights, nowadays, people still have needs but actually has all the rights without limits, like education.
in the past, people had to accept whatever the government choose for them, but in the modern mexico, people have the right to choose their governor with a popular election.
