The Conflict Of A Social Movement

The way the country has come together to help fight for the rights of black people due to the killings. Along with the injustice black people have been receiving from society, individuals, government and people in authority.

This article was about the Nigerian school girls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram about two years ago. The author wrote about how the search for the girls isn’t over as well as how the girls rescues are being planned, but the military and government officials from America are afraid that if they attempt to rescue one group of the girls the other will suffer because of it. African officials are afraid that Boko Haram is making the school girls become suicide bombers or giving them the option to become suicide bombers to escape the lives they are facing. They believe that the girls are choosing to be suicide bombers to escape the lives of being trapped, used for childbearing and abused that they have been forced into.

For the past seven years innocence have been injured, killed, or brutally tortured by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. They have lost their homes and precious possessions due to a cruel, selfish satisfaction of this organization. Boko Haram members believe that these “brutal penalties” is just an ordinary way to express their culture. Although Nigeria came to a conclusion that these terrorists had given up, it only took five months later to realize it was not the end. Nigeria’s strategies had gotten them nowhere and only led them back to where they started.

A social movement is when a large group of people who have the same beliefs carry out, resist or undo a social change. These types of movements can be very large and are made up of large groups of people or entire organizations. They tend to focus on political or social issues. There are different types of social movements including redemptive social movements that look at a part of the population and seek radical change. Another being a re formative social movement which targets the entire population, but small changes. When I think of social movements I think of protests such as Occupy wall street, the American Revolution, abolishment against slavery and the Women's Rights Movement of 1848 which eventually led to the right to vote in 1920.

The story of a Sudanese woman named Hawa is told in Half the Sky. She was “gang-raped and beaten by the Janjaweed outside Kalma camp,” after which friends brought her to receive medical treatment, but as nurses began caring for her “several truckloads of police stormed the clinic...and burst in on Hawa.” As if the rape itself weren’t

Social movements a collection group of ordinary people working get noticed by the public,media and government officials. They gather to resist,promote, or undo social change. Social movements are made up of people that have the same belief or feeling about a topic, unconventional and disruptive tactics are more commonly used by social movements because it helps gain attention. In the united states there are many different social movements in the united states some of the more important movements are The abolitionist movement, the gay and lesbian movements,the women's right movement, and the environmental movement. The abolitionist movement's main objective was to end slavery in the United States, the abolitionist movement was most active

On Apr. 14, 2014, Islamist militant group Boko Haram abducted 275 girls --- most of them Christians --- from their school in Chibok, Nigeria. While almost 50 girls were able to escape, 228 are still believed to be in the hands of the kidnappers, Christian Today reports.

Historically, kidnapping has shown to provide significant financial resources for perpetrators. Furthermore, unlike hostage taking, does not limit the perpetrators options, is generally not public, and compels the third party to act in their favor. This is a strategy often utilized, successfully, by Boko Haram. The U.S. has estimated that they have received nearly 1 million a year from ransoms (threat report). Kidnapping is not only used as a financial mechanism for Boko Haram, but rather a strategy to advance their goals in all areas. It has been over two years and most of the Chibok schoolgirls, kidnapped by Boko Haram, are still missing. Boko

While at first tranquil and addressing a standard of withdrawal from what they saw as a savage Nigerian state, Boko Haram continuously involved with gatherings with security compels over adjacent verbal confrontation and got the opportunity to be more radical and furious. Since 2009, the gathering has finished logically lethal attacks on a far reaching assortment of targets. Nevertheless, notwithstanding clear associations with worldwide terrorist affiliations, particularly al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), various the bunch 's grievances are prodded by

Despite Nigeria’s growing economy, the nation still has a startling percentage of citizens living in poverty. For children, the choice became easy: to survive and support their family or to get educated. Boko Haram’s radical ideals of religion’s role in society, conformed gender roles, and tradition have not only destroyed families and communities but they continually add fuel to the fire – destroying the newest generation’s only chance at a better life. The jihadist group has an infamous reputation not only to burn down schools and villages but to kidnap school children, especially girls, and educators. The most notorious event in Boko Haram’s cruel initiative against Western Education was when it captured 276 school girls, 60 of whom managed to escape now fear to return back to school as alike with many girls who have been directly affected by the group. Boko Haram, through its violence, aims to control the northeast through crippling fear and wants to clearly establish a message: it will stop at nothing to see western education abolished.

Boko Haram has been terrorizing Nigeria and surrounding countries for years, with noticeable increases in power over the last five years. Best estimates indicate that the Boko Haram insurgency rose to power in the 2000s with the goal of promoting strict adherence to Islamic Shari’a Law throughout Nigeria (Bussey, Chasse, Martin, 2016). The group found footing quickly; frustrations with the faulty political system and lack of economic and social development in northern Nigeria allowed the group to recruit large numbers of members and gain momentum. In 2009, the groups leader, Muhammed Yusuf was murdered. This, coupled with increasing economic and social tensions across Nigeria caused the group to become increasingly aggressive. The group executed a prison break of over 700 prisoners in 2010 and performed the well-known kidnapping of over 200 school girls in 2014. This kidnapping truly brought global attention to the acts of terror the group was committing for the first time (Onouha, 2012). United State’s Citizens became increasingly involved, leading to the spread of the “Bring Back our Girls” movement. As United States interest in Boko Haram increased, the hostility of the group increased. In 2014, according to the Global Terrorism Index, deaths attributed to Boko Haram rose by 314%, attributing to the groups ranking as the most dangerous terrorist group in the world (Institute for Economics and Peace, 2015).

Day after day, night after night, our world keeps getting even more dangerous and we don’t seem to notice. On April 14, nearly 300 Nigerian girls were abducted from their school. We cannot even imagine their darkest fears or the pain they are going through with the Boko Haram terrorists who took them. Boko Haram is a group of Nigerian terrorists ruled by a man named Abubakar. Boko Haram stands for “Western education is sinful”. But we can imagine how their parents and family are feeling. The abduction of these girls has led to many social media trends calling for their rescue. Around the world, people have started campaigns, and protests. There are millions of people worried about these girls. There are also few people who can help. Many

The importance of human rights has been implemented in Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 by United Nations. Every country that signed the declaration has to abide the declaration.
