*a martyr is somebody who suffers ‘persecution’ + ‘death’ for (‘advocating’ / ‘renouncing’ / ‘refusing to renounce’ / ‘refusing to advocate a ‘belief’ or cause”) as demanded by an ‘external party’*
.
(this ‘refusal to comply with the presented demands’ results in the ‘punishment’ or ‘execution’ of the ‘martyr’ by the ‘oppressor’)
(the word “martyr” comes from the greek word μάρτυς, mártys, which means “witness” or “testimony”)
(originally applied only to those who suffered for their ‘religious beliefs’, it is now often used for people ‘imprisoned’ or ‘executed’ for espousing a “political cause”)
(most ‘martyrs’ are considered ‘holy’ or are respected by their followers, becoming symbols of ‘exceptional leadership’ + ‘heroism’ in the face of ‘difficult circumstances’)
(‘martyrs’ play significant roles in ‘religions’)
.
(similarly, ‘martyrs’ have had notable effects in ‘secular life’, including specific figures such as ‘socrates’, as well as in ‘politics’ + ‘chinese culture’)
