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.
