Introduce the leader: Aung San Suu Kyi
Aung San Suu Kyi was born on June 19, 1945 in the city of Rangoon, Burma. General Aung San Kyi and Daw Khin Kyi brough her into the world. Her father, General Aung San, was the national leader of Burma until his assassignation on July 17, 1947. His death would be one of the main contributors to her fight for peace and independence for the country of Burma.
- She came back to her homeland in 1988 to take care of her sick mother. While in Burma she joined the pro-democracy movement, which was pushing for political reforms in Burma.
- On July 20, 1989 Aung San Suu Kyi is placed under house arrest in the city of Rangoon.
- She won the Nobel Peace Prize on October 14, 1991.
Motivation
Motivation is the willingness to do something and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal.Aung San Suu Kyi’s father was a national hero who led the Burma independence movement and her mother is an ambassador. It is easy to say, the apple didn 't fall far from the family tree. Suu Kyi has put forth her entire being in advocating against the militant rule in Burma, and also spoke out against oppression and inspired generations of Burmese people – even the world. Defying social convention of “appropriate” gender roles, Suu Kyi led a pro-democracy movement in Burma.
Aung San Suu Kyi demonstrates Maslow 's concept of Self-Actualization through her pursuit of democracy and freedom for her people and the way that she expresses her concern for the well-being of her people. She has struggled greatly, but based on all she has accomplished, both in her spoken and written word, in deed, and in the recognition she has attained (her Nobel Peace Prize, for one), she has certainly achieved great levels of personal growth and self-fulfillment in her proven devotion to her country and her people.

    Today in the modern society, the use of surveillance cameras is becoming increasingly common because their use have become effective in multiple ways. Basically, it’s like some form of a Preventative of protection when it comes to society. But the real question here is: does society feel a sense of comfort when they know that a surveillance camera is watching every single move at any given moment? Of course they do. Surveillance cameras have multiple purposes to which they operate. Though their use may be considered spying, it benefits society greatly by a reduction of crime. Video surveillance has been proven to be successful in cities where many thieves amass, where suspicious individuals attempt to exploit proceedings for their own corrupt benefit, and also in neighborhoods with a high crime rate. A few examples of where surveillance can be utilized may include, but are not limited to: lowering the risk of suspicious activity, locating artifact that are on external grounds and understanding how the artifact arose in said location, and also it may be used as a simple means to give a sense of security to citizens especially in high risk situations such as banks. In many cases video footage is used in courts and even in public safety stations. Its success has been proven statistically. There are several reasons why video surveillance should be incorporated in our daily lives primarily for crime prevention, as evidence in crime scenes, and for public safety reasons.…

    Political beginningsCoincident with Aung San Suu Kyi's return to Burma in 1988, the long-time military leader of Burma and head of the ruling party, General Ne Win, stepped down. Mass demonstrations for democracy followed that event on 8 August 1988 (8–8–88, a day seen as auspicious), which were violently suppressed in what came to be known as the 8888 Uprising. On 26 August 1988, she addressed half a million people at a mass rally in front of the Shwedagon…

    Just like Saro-Wiwa, Aung San Suu Kyi spoke out and made a difference, she returned to her native Burma and put herself through everything in order to gain the autonomy for the citizens of her beloved country. She “founded” (“Icon of Hope”; 445) the National League for Democracy and was elected president in 1990 but the military regime refused to transfer power and placed her under house arrest. All this didn´t stop her, she never gave up on her cause. She was persistent and didn’t let anyone tear her apart. All the effort that she put through out the years resulted on her “release” (“Icon of Hope”; 445) and a little advance on her purpose on freeing her country. After her release she continued to work on her goal and she recently recieved her Nobel Peace Prize for all her effort.…
