960 Words4 Pages

UNICEF, is one of the most important organizations in the world, and as such requires an important spokesperson as well. There are many possible, qualified candidates to be the next spokesperson for UNICEF. The organization needs a new face to be remembered by while they continue to help over 180 of the countries in the world. This is an important decision, and therefore, Nelson Mandela should be the next spokesperson for UNICEF because of his fight for racial equality and against oppression, and his experience of growing up in Apartheid-torn South Africa.

The text states, “The truth is that we are not yet free; we have merely achieved the freedom to be free, the right not to be oppressed” (Mandela 736). This quote by Mandela means those who break free from oppression, can now choose what they can do with their freedom. It means he knows when the fight ends, because the oppression may be broken, but the society that left the oppression is still there. He cannot leave as soon as the oppressors are gone, as one will rise as soon as he leaves. Also, the text quotes, “When I walked out of prison, that was my mission, to liberate the oppressed and the oppressor both”(Mandela 736). What this boils down to is the conspicuous point that the oppressor needs help also. There is always a reason for someone to do those horrible things, and the victim and the predator both have problems to be solved. In these cases, Mandela is not directly helping children, but attempting to bottle the suffering at the source, so all can live happy, free, equal lives. The oppressor may have done horrible things, barricaded the progress of his society, but we are all human. We all do bad things, but with varying degrees of severity. Nelson Mandela would be a great candidate for the position at UNICEF for his work against

    Some may still argue that Nelson Mandela would be the best ambassador, because he is a leader and mentally strong. However, Eleanor Roosevelt is twice the leader than Mandela was, because she is also experienced, determined, and passionate on top of that. Mandela did need to be mentally strong to reach his goals, since he was an oppressed minority- but as a woman in politics, Eleanor was all that, too. Mandela’s mental strength only pushed him along, but Eleanor’s helped her and all those around her. Both influenced their countries for years to come, but Eleanor’s reach was far wider.

Although he had shared how generous he was to children with heart disease, however, there wasn’t much said about his generosity to help impoverished people. Even though it isn’t his responsibility to take care of those who are suffering from poverty or those who deal with racism, but if he wants to relieve oppression, he
