Looking through the history and development of human beings when people face problems, they would like to solve them. There were many ways of solving problems, people would either kill each other to reach a goal or do trades with each other. Later, there were different levels between people, the way of people who don’t many right started to use movements to solve the problem. It is all about causing and solving problem. To discuss about this, I would like to use some modern examples to show more events and details of these movements. Let us start from 2013. Nowadays, Black lives matter (BLM) has become a very popular social movement locate in United States of America. It is an international activist movement, originating in the African-American …show more content…
They had many leaders as I mentioned above, it shows that the movement was acted in a huge area. People all over America and even outside America all attend this movement. So the result the separation of the movement is very important. Besides women were a poor, unarmed and disenfranchised class when they first organized to gain political power in the mid-1800s. They didn’t get the vote and as many power as men did, there were some of the discriminations within this. Women were not allowed to have any political powers in many situations. Like the African-American people we see today, they also didn’t get the equal right as white people as well. Which made a public anger in women’s society. And to reach a common goal in women’ society, they also wanted to vote for their leaders, Yet despite all of this, the suffrage movement was being ignored for a long period of time, and when it has not been ignored it has been substantially misrepresented. So it wasn’t a really smooth movement, because women were being ignored. Unlike today, BLM has became one of the most popular topic, and there is nobody ignored them, black is a strong group with many political and financial supports. Women’s suffrage finally succeed, women had become stronger than ever before, that’s impressive, they changed the view of point of all traditional men, and fought the right for their selves.

And their organization for this movement is called the labor union which still appears today. Unions began forming in the mid-19th century in response to the social and economic impact of the industrial revolution. National labor unions began to form in the post-Civil War Era. The Knights of Labor emerged as a major force in the late 1880s, but it collapsed because of poor organization, lack of effective leadership, disagreement over goals, and strong opposition from employers and government forces. That would happen is because didn’t had a clear idea about what they are going to reach, for BLM they have a very complete system of doing almost everything, like donation, meeting, website (internet wasn’t even well-known so they don’t have one). But the labor union didn’t. Labor unions at the turn of the nineteenth century industrialized changed America. Who worked in the factory system to replace the small shops of artisans and craftsmen work. Artisan guilds had their own organization, but the power line will drop as manufacturing replaces the artisans work. The new manufacturing workers organized trade unions. Early trade unions fail for many reasons, including the internal tensions, unable to prevent violence, social revolution and the fear of failure, won the public and authorities. As I said they were lower class of people, they were not good at forming an organization. That why the start of the
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stone created one of the first organizations in New York, 1848. (Lewis B.R. Women at War: the women of World War 2; at home, at work, on the Front Line) The goal of this movement was to bring attention to the public about restrictions against women and to address the issues regarding equality between men and women. However, the main goal was to earn themselves the right to vote. These women promoted their ideas and concerns by speaking in girl schools and in public as well as participating in the hostings of parades around the White House. All of the women’s information was beginning to influence others, therefore, they received support from people outside of the movement. Finally, after all of the fighting women did to gain liberation, the government passed the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 which granted women a right to vote. (https://www.nwhm.org/online-exhibits/progressiveera/home.html) Thus, after all the protesting, marches, parades and organizations, women’s voices were finally heard and they now felt more equal to men because their long term goal was achieved.
Back then men would do all the voting and representation for their state. The women would do all the cooking and cleaning for their husband, while they could work and get an education. The movement started to gain ground, but due to the Civil War it lost momentum. Some of the main women were Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Lucretia Mott strongly believed that a woman's voice should be heard. How would you like it if you did not have a say in the matter, or that you were a women? Like these women they did not like that they could not do anything, so they decided to act upon it. In 1910 women finally had the right to vote. If this did not happen we would still be at the mercy of
There are many problems that exist in the world, whether that be political, economic, or even social issues. These issues can affect individuals, both directly and indirectly, in doing so can lead to detrimental effects on society. One way to get involved in an issue and help spread awareness is through a movement. There are many movements in the world where people stand up and fight for a cause they believe in, in doing so can bring about change that leads to a better world. In specifically the Black Lives Matter movement is a global platform that helps black communities when they are faced with injustice. Black communities are faced with inequality, injustice, racialization and many more struggles that other communities don’t have an issue
The battle for suffrage was a long and slow process. Many women tried to initiate the fight for suffrage, like Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. “These were the New Suffragists: women who were better educated, more career-oriented, younger, less apt to be married and more cosmopolitan than their previous generation.” (pg 17) Eventually, in 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified; allowing women to vote, but it was not any one person or event that achieved this great feat. It was the confluence of certain necessary factors, the picketing and parades led by Alice Paul, militaristic suffrage parties and the influence of the media that caused the suffrage amendment to be passed and ratified in 1920. But most importantly, they successfully moved both
This was a very hard movement to make successful because of the time era. There was no technology to help them promote their campaign, there were no cars to campaign faster, and many more disadvantages held the women back. However these women were able to break the wall between genders even though these problems were in their way. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has caused one of the most important parts of the women’s rights movement.
Through all these movements the key player were women, women played a very important roles to how these movement s changed America. Women were the people that gave a beilive to the second great awaking The Second Great Awaking helped many people become closer together and is what helped the nation become one. “Men and women of all classes and races embraced this Second Great Awakening to express
In the 1920’s women suffrage was a substantial impact because that year women gained the right to vote and run for office. It took activists and reformers nearly 100 years to win that right (“The Fight” par. 1). Before the Election Day in 1920, women didn’t have the right to vote or basically do anything a man could do. Women fought against the court and formed multiple groups until they made a change in the law, to let women vote. Many American women were tired of being known as an unimportant role in their generation. They were beginning to become annoyed with what historians referred them as which was “a pious, submissive wife and mother concerned exclusively with home and family” (“The Fight” par. 2). “All of these contributed to a new way of thinking about what it meant to be a women and a citizen in the United States”(“The Fight” par. 2). “The suffrage movement in the United States gained prominence with the first women’s rights convention in the world”(“Women’s Suffrage” par. 5). Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the convention in 1848. “American
The Women 's Suffrage Movement impacted the United States by giving women the right to have a voice and to finally be able to vote. Achieving the right to vote was the culminating event of the Women 's Suffrage Movement. The Women 's Suffrage Movement was also known as Women 's Suffrage. The movement was the struggle for women to be able to vote and run for president. It was also closely linked to the women 's right movement. In the mid 19th century women in several different countries, mostly the United States and Britain began forming organizations to fight for suffrage.
Woman suffrage, a major issue woman had to fight against. Our world has always had segregation no matter who was getting discriminated against. Well in the 1800s it was women who were getting victimized, because of their gender. Any woman could get criticized and ridiculed by a man just for being a woman. Woman didn't have as many rights or as much freedom as men did, men thought women were only good for domestic duties. Little did men know, women can do much more than cooking and cleaning. Elizabeth Cady Stanton stood along with other women and help put an end to gender discrimination of the 1800s.
They were such a big deal, partially because before the Revolution they were particularly active towards the cause. Although they were a big contributor to the Revolution, they were not given the credit for it, and at first weren’t granted the same rights that men received, as well. Voting was a brief right given to the women who owned property, but was soon taken away. The 19th Amendment changed this in 1920 stating, “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex” (Doc, N). The Women’s suffrage wasn’t as quick to be given as male’s suffrage was, but they did make headway within their marriages and families towards it. In marriage, women were viewed as equal partners, rather than the man having main authority. Women were prepared to experience the same rights that men did, and the partnership viewed in a marriage became part of the vision of the equality they wanted. They were tired of contributing towards the Revolution, but not receiving the liberties for themselves and it shows through this letter from Abigail Adams to her husband, “Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation” (Doc M). In the
The movement went on to fight other women suffrage issues and eventually an Equal Rights Amendment was drafted for the United States constitution, yet they knew it “was only advanced, not satisfied, by the vote” (Women’s Rights.) Now more than ever, people are seeing a growth in attempt for equality, but again it is only a step forward, not a complete
The fight for women’s suffrage went on for about seventy years. Crazy right? In the early 1800’s, women were considered second class citizens. The role that we see women have to was not nearly as close to the roll they had back then. A woman’s place was to be at home, baring children, taking care of the family and the home. They were not allowed to have any interest in anything but home and family; nor were they encouraged to pursue a career or have an education. Many women did not even have the right to own property. Women today would not be where they are if it weren’t for the women’s suffrage movement. The first fight for women’s suffrage started with the Seneca Falls Convention
Women’s rights were not always a part of society as it may seem in today’s world. Suffrage can date all the way back to 1776. Women had to fight for their rights and privileges, hard and for many years. In the late 1800’s women were seen as much less than a male and had no voice. Women were arrested, prosecuted and put down for wanting more freedom and power for their gender. As you see in many suffrage ads, women were desperate and wanted so badly the same equality as men. A few women in particular stood up for what they believed was right and fought hard. Although it took far too long and over 100 years, in 1920 women were finally given the opportunity to share the same voting rights as men. History had been made.
The Women’s Suffrage Movement of the 1920’s worked to grant women the right to vote nationally, thereby allowing women more political equality. Due to many industrial and social changes during the early 19th century, many women were involved in social advocacy efforts, which eventually led them to advocate for their own right to vote and take part in government agencies. Women have been an integral part of society, working to help those in need, which then fueled a desire to advocate for their own social and political equality. While many women worked tirelessly for the vote, many obstacles, factions, and ultimately time would pass in order for women to see the vote on the national level. The 19th Amendment, providing women the right to vote, enable women further their pursuit for full inclusion in the working of American society.
This chapter focuses on social change, social movements, and collective action. “Social change involves variations over time in every aspect of the social world, ranging from changes effecting individuals to global transformation” (p.358). Social movement is an effort to bring social change. A well-known social movement is the Tea Party, The Tea Party protest against high taxes and other government actions they don’t agree with. The Tea Party is a social movement because it has significant number of people in the organization, existed for years, outside established institutional channels, and attempts to bring social change.
