What kind of passage is this?

Explanation

First-person conviction and moral appeal aim to change the reader's view.

Note: Passage II is a short prose piece on learning from children, attributed to Gandhi, and summarised here. Children are not born naughty; with good parents they follow truth and love. Even the wisest adults can learn much from children if they approach them humbly, and the author believes this is God's will. Real peace, 'a real war against war', must begin with children: if they grow up in their natural innocence, no resolutions will be needed and the world will fill with peace and love.
