im gonna do on Mahatma Gandhi. He's a very famous guy (means ur stupid if u duno him, nah jk), only because he did a lot of noble stuff and saved the world (literally). He is definitely someone worthy of my respect and worthy of everyone's respect. If it were u, would u give up a high paying job just to bring peace to this world? No right? BUT HE DID!

He was trained to be a lawyer (credits to Mr Ben Tan, Anglican High School), and can be one, earning big bucks now living a comfortable life. BUT HE DINT. He chose to return to India and organized poor farmers and labourers to protest against oppressive taxation and widespread discrimination.

Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for the alleviation of poverty, for the liberation of women, for brotherhood amongst differing religions and ethnicities, for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj — the independence of India from foreign domination.

Throughout his life, Gandhi remained committed to non-violence and truth even in the most extreme situations. A student of Hindu philosophy, he lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. Making his own clothes — the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl woven with a charkha, he lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts, for long periods, for both self-purification and protest.

Believed i had answered the first two qns which im supposed to, i shall now move on to part 3. Moving on..

3.What makes this person considered 'crazy'?

Answer: He is definitely crazy la, who would give up fame and fortune to choose to help people in need, help the poor, help the world?? Would u? I dun think i would. Im not as noble. But that doesn mean i suck, because what he did was beyond what a normal man would do. Yea and because of what he did, that seemed abnormal, he is considered CRAZY.
