Social and Formal Groups Comparison

However, the revolution didn’t encourage both sexes to reevaluate the women’s right. It very little changed happen women still had the same basic rights like before. However, Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams, became an early supporter of women's rights when she prompted her husband to "REMEMBER THE LADIES" when starting up a new government. Even though Adams passed a new law that protects some women from bad husband this new law did not protect the single women. Also, women need and wanted to have the same right as men. Women have the same capacity and the same intellectual as men, there is no difference. The only difference between women and men that men have access to education and have more power than women before the American Revolution, this changed after women started to realize that they could have the same rights as men. Furthermore, American women deserve to have the same right. If the republic were to succeed, women must be educated in quality so they could teach their children how

Caucasian person from France but they will have different ethnic backgrounds. Each will have different traditions and most likely speak different languages as a result of their different ethnic backgrounds.

Leaders of these sororities established organizations that dealt with women who wanted to change society.

During the early 1900s the Puritans and Quakers were two of the most common religions in America. The Puritans were known for trying to keep their community as close to their beliefs as possible. That meant their laws came from the bible and that if they were broken then there were to be serious consequences. They also believed in witches and other supernatural beings at this time; this is why they had the Salem witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. At this time women were still seen as weak and inferior to the men of the day so they didn’t have many rights.

The Puritan society had very little tolerance to women who had independence and those who had come into possession of land and property on their own challenged the

Following the Reformation, views of women were altered. They were thought of as equals of men, as shown in Document 4. Schools were made for girls where they could study the Bible. The wealthy were also attracted to the movement due to the end of indulgences, which had previously pressured the wealthy into giving the Church large amounts of money in order to “save their souls”. It seems to me that people back then did a lot of things that they didn’t want to and it’s difficult to bring that topic to realization. But, with this whole debacle ending, it made people feel more safe and secure with others as well as

On December 6th, 2012, the state of Washington legalized the use and possession of marijuana by adults over the age of 21. There were already laws in place to provide for the medical use of marijuana before this date, therefore this new initiative (Initiative 502) pertained mainly to recreational marijuana users. According to a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney’s Office the day prior to the law going into effect, “The Department of Justice is reviewing the legalization initiatives recently passed in Colorado and Washington State. The Department's responsibility to enforce the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged.

Women took charge of religious and charitable enterprises because they were excluded from other public roles and because of their numbers. After 1800, more than 70 percent of the members of New England Congregational churches where women. The overabundance of women prompted Congregational ministers to end gender segregated prayer meetings.

Social reform that evolved in the second religious revival was, the Women’s Suffrage. Women, back in the pioneer days, did not necessarily have the same rights as men. Women weren’t allowed to vote or even have full custody of their

Between the time of 1890 and 1920, the Women's Era was booming. More states started to have greater economic and political opportunities,gained more educational opportunities, and had the right to own property, control wages, make contracts, and wills. Women in America were always vital contributors in the economy as producers and consumers and always worked whether in a factory or in the home as a mother. One of the greatest contributions came through with their membership and leadership in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1874, with over 150,000 making it the largest female organization in the United States. They soon embraced a broad reform agenda by pushing for the right of Women's vote in their country.

During the 17th century, many people were dissatisfied with the teachings of the Church of England, the principal religion during that period. This was an age of religious uprising, made evident by the English Civil War. However, gone fairly unnoticed, a new religion was starting to bring itself up. This would be the Religious Society of Friends, to be more well known to the public as the Quakers. These people upheld peaceful, pacifist attitudes. They did not believe in violence; they believed that every one is equal. Women were just as free as men were. The Quakers began in England but shifted to North America with settling in the colonies being a sought-after choice during that point in time. Although they were still persecuted, Quakerism exploded in America. The Religious Society of Friends has broken the mainstream of American religion for centuries in spite of the fact that they endured persecution at every turn, all the while having the ability to exceptionally maintain a harmonious, anti-war attitude.

In the Northern states, and during the Second Great Awakening, many Americans became involved in evangelical work and had become eager to share the Protestant faith. Although, the Second Great Awakening “reasserted the egalitarian ideals which drew more women than men”, and it also favored women and their reform activities (DuBois & Dumenil, 2012, p.151). Therefore, the revivalism that expanded during the antebellum period is what introduced a number of social reform movements to improve America overall. With the new conversions and the growing interest in religion, women were influenced to help improve all aspect of life including the political, economical, and social problems; therefore they started by “supporting their husband in missionary

Women differed though because during the Women’s Rights Movements, women started to take a bigger stance in promoting women’s rights. Since women during the Women’s Rights Movement were not allowed to participate in any organizations, they took a stance by creating their own. Susan B Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton created the first Women’s Rights Convention and promote women’s rights by organizing protests and public speakings. This differed from the way women promoted the patriotic cause during the American Revolution Era, because women only protested the way men wanted them to protest. For example, the non-purchasing of British exports was created by men, and women just followed along. Other then not purchasing British goods, women really could not do anymore to promote the patriotic cause, because they could not form their own protests and they could not form their own organizations. During the American Revolution Era, women were dependent on their husbands to promote the patriotic cause, and during the reform movements, women really changed by starting to advocate for themselves, even though during both time periods, women were yet to gain political

Have you ever judged a person by their age, gender or appearance rather than really knowing them? When you meet a tattooed man on the street, your first impression of him might be bad, i.e. a negative categorization, since tattoos are associated with criminals and unemployed people. However, he could be a person who does volunteer and works as a business manager. People tend to automatically categorize a person into groups by visual judgements, demographic features, personality and own perceptions or beliefs (Billig & Tajfel, 1973). Social categorization is a process of classifying people into different groups based on their similar characteristics and group memberships. It is a natural part of social perception and serves a basic epistemic and identity function in organizing and structuring people’s knowledge about the world and make things become manageable in daily life (Bodenhausen, Kang & Peery, 2012). It occurs spontaneously without much thoughts (Crips & Hewstone, 2007). In social categorization, we usually form a general conclusion about other people and begin to respond to them as a member of a particular social group than as individuals. It allows us to communicate and connect with those who share the same or similar group membership. Social groups that we use in social categorization can change under different situations and over time. Whaley and Link (1998) discovered that there is a strong association between categorization and stereotype-based judgments. For

For the last year, I was in the position of women’s ministry leader at church which I found to be much harder than I thought. It was not that I felt I could not lead but I found you cannot lead those that do not want to be led. I was led to do activities that would bring a gospel message to the women of the church while having fellowship. I found that day to day activities were much more important to the ladies in our church. The events that were the most successful, unfortunately were the ones that were of fellowship, little worship time and cost each person money to participate. My biggest challenge in this was coming to terms with the fact that the ladies have the choice whether or not they want to deepen their relationship with Christ through fellowship and the gospel. God gave us choices and I have to accept that some do not always choose to
