The documentary "Before Stonewall" was very educational and interesting because it shows a retail group that fought for the right to integrate into the society and was where the homosexual revolution occurred. Also, through this fight, the "LGBT" was born. The documentary shows how homosexual people enjoyed and shared with each other. Also, the documentary shows their participation in World War II and how the government discriminated and oppressed them even denying the right to federal

It offered a candid honest perspective on a taboo subject. Her studies in this field were rooted in findings of men’s unwillingness to acknowledge their over-privileged status. These denials, protected male privilege from being acknowledged or decreased. Calling out this unacknowledged male privilege her finding of white privilege might be a key to racism as well. The message that was being portrayed was that privilege is real and whites are taught not to recognize privilege. They simply go along with a system that is already biased in their favor, never noticing the privileges built into their daily lives and institutional structures. In terms of primary identities like race and gender, I do not think I am privileged. When looking at secondary identities like education and work experience I could be considered privileged in comparison to individuals of my same background. The freedoms of these specific privileges allow me access to higher education which opens more opportunity to various

The film is centered on a group known as the Women’s Army. It is a group comprised of women who seek to eradicate the ever-present inequalities between males and females. They end up going on marches, networking with different radio shows and meeting together in order to find ways to educate women and the general public about the hypocritical nature of the government and its role in the social and economic status of women. In the beginning of the film we see men catcalling women as they walk down the street, harassing them while riding the subways, and even attempting to rape them in broad daylight. This highlights the impact of societies ideology about gender

Old Major used Logos Pathos and Ethos in his speech to the animals on the farm. The only reason the animals decided to listen to him is because he had a reputation with the animals. “ Old Major was so highly regarded on the farm that everyone was quite ready to lose an hour’s sleep in order to hear what he had to say.” This is an example of Ethos because it shows his reputation gave him credibility so the animals listened and believed him. He used Logos in his speech when he used the argument that the humans are the reason they are having bad lives and if they rebelled against the humans their lives better.

As this campaign kept getting bigger and spreading to different cities the first two years, the organizers used this as a easy way to find new ways to spread this campaign all around the world. This also helped give African Americans faith that there is other people out there that go through the same sort of things on a daily basis. Also that there is people trying to make a difference, trying to stop the discrimination. Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Mya Hall, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland these names are just some of the women

What I found most significant was how this movement all started, which was when the plaintiff Oliver Brown realized his constitutional rights were being destroyed. He realized this each day as “his eight-year-old daughter, Linda, bypassed the neighborhood white school to catch a bus to a segregated school” which was located 21 blocks away. This is when Brown decided to sue the

Not only were women victims, but also activists. There were many different groups of women who fought against the inequalities that they had to face and stood up for the protection of white women. One of the groups who did this was the Sojourners for Truth and Justice, this group was led by two African American women, Louise Thompson Patterson and Beulah Richardson. Their main goal was to bring all women together to fight against the abuse that the whites had caused. They joined together and shared stories of the sexual abuse they have been victims of and had talked about how they need to find ways to protect black women and stop being treated as if they weren’t human. Over 100 women had met up there and joined the meeting, “On September 29,

The historic march on Washington was a call of humanity to the world. It was a turning point in the American history after the abolishing of slavery. African American women struggled for justice and equality to be given to all mankind but, unfortunately, women were forgotten. They were stripped of all their rights, when men got all the benefit. African American men, who supposed to be their nature supporters and protectors, also turned their back at them. Women found themselves all alone facing the society constraints that were hemmed upon them. Despite the significant contribution women made toward the struggle for equal right, they had no representation in most of the March activities and their issues were not addressed. They were concerned that they would not get their fair share benefits from the struggle.

The movie portrayed how it takes love, commitment, perseverance, dedication and lots of time to fulfill a goal or dream. Alice Paul, Lucy Burns and other suffragettes worked hard and dedicated their lives just so that women today could vote. These women risked their lives, marriages, and children, and Inez Milholland even died just so women could have a say in their government. If it weren't for them, where would we be

I can’t say that I honestly enjoyed watching it, but then again that is not the point of a documentary such as this. This documentary, although not the most exciting to watch, forces you to constantly evaluate and consider the information being presented to you. There were times I would have to rewind just to give my thoughts a second to catch up, and in that sense, the film fully accomplished its goal. In discussing complicated ideas such as education, employment, and obedience it showed me just how narrow my scope of the world is, and I think I can better understand what the narrator meant and how he felt when he said: “almost everything I was brought up to believe turns out to be

This story also lets me see how far women have come in this country. While in other countries in the world remain the same. America has made it to where men and women are equal as possible. Today we have women in the Supreme Court and Congress. Not to mention in the army too. Women today can be independent and do what ever they want. Some women take care of their husband and kids.

Although most of the material was that in the movie related to something we have learned previously in the course, it still offered new insight to certain aspects. One of the things I liked most about the documentary was as stated before was its ability to incorporate relatively everything we learned in the class. Such as having people from other documentaries, books and articles. Another thing I liked about the documentary was how despite reviewing a lot of material, it also gave real-life accounts of what was going on during that time. Overall the documentary sparked the interest in me to understanding more about how minorities, homosexuals, and hemophiliacs were treated before after and during the AIDS

The article discusses how Italy economists and sociologist have been talking about the ratio of the elderly to the young. The have few younger workers that will have to pay social security contributions for every growing number of longer-living elderly. The massive number of eastern Europeans, African and Asia immigrates have flooded into Italy helping with this serious problem. In the past the Italian government was relented to have immigrates but now they are the reason for the rising birthrates. Italian women especially working women are reluctant to have even one, let alone a second child due to the global recession. Incentives are offered for women who have a child.
