  • The Sydney Tarrow: A Successful Social Movement

    Without meeting these three intertwined characteristics, the social movement in question cannot be successful. The Occupy Wall Street movement for example, as mentioned previously, is lacking leadership and organization and its common purpose was very wide, as it focused on social and economic inequality worldwide. It would have probably succeeded if the movement had broken down the claims they made in small movements. Contrastingly, feminist movements embody perfectly this idea, as they each fought for one cause, from the legal right to file complaints independently to contraception. By taking the problem of gender inequality as a basis, they succeeded in taking issues like voting, contraception or matrimonial rights, in the prospect of making changes in society. So today, we can affirm that the feminist movement is succeeding, as it still criticizes current issues. Also, as seen before, sustaining contentious adds the success determinant of other new issues emerge from them, as it brings new political opportunities, by the dissolution of constraints in society. In the end, the key to success of social movements is adaptation to the context, and the flexibility of the movements’

    The scientific method is how psychologists gain knowledge about the mind and behavior. It is used by all scientists. The experimental method is the one way to engage the scientific method, and the only way to find a cause and effect in relationships. It is summarized in five steps, observing some phenomenon in the world, forming a hypothesis which is an educated prediction about relationships between two or more variables, examining the gathered information by using empirical research, determining what the results are and drawing them, and evaluating the results whether it will support the hypothesis or not. Researchers, at the end, submit their work for publication for all to see and read (King, 2016). There are three types of psychological research in the scientific method, descriptive research, correlation, and experimental research (King, 2016). The article The Effects of Negative Body Talk in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of College Students (Katrevich, Register, & Aruguete, 2014) is an example of the experimental method.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Liberal Feminism

    507 Words  | 2 Pages

    Firstly, this paper will evaluate how the more radical tenants of liberal feminism, specifically the ones that promote open celebrations of female embodiment and sexuality as a form of political representation through activities like The Slut Walk, can work to exclude women of color. Indeed, a woman whose political, social, and economic subjectivity/Otherness has historically and socially been formulated through a discourse of hyper-sexualization may not believe that re-appropriating a term like slut or whore is actually an effective tool for political representation and change. This is because the woman of the Other has historically been the whore within a virgin/whore dichotomy produced by colonial western political orders, in a way a white woman is not. Consequently, activities like a slut walk, may only generate the very ideologues of sexuality that have been constitutive of racialization and systemic

  • Late 1800's Crusade for Equality: Successes and Failures

    In the majority of undeveloped countries, women are still married off to whoever a higher authority chooses, must stay in the home to clean, and do not have the same amount of legal rights such as voting. It is true that until there is more of an economic development within these least developed countries, women’s rights will expand naturally. In the United States, a developed country, women still do not get the same amount of pay or social standard as men do. For instance, the United States just elected a president that sees women more so as objects than human beings. Therefore, people are going to watch this man and be influenced by the words of disrespect to women and believe it is fair to treat women this way. In society, women are shamed for trying to express themselves. The shaming leads to men being violent with women which can take a turn into rape. Nine out of 10 victims of rape in the United States are women. In conclusion, women have successfully improved their rights as individuals, but have not conquered their rights. In order to conquer their rights and be completely equal, people all around the world that are advocates for women’s rights need to stand up. People must do everything in their power to stand up against their governments. Men and women can do so by being involved with organizations that promote women’s suffrage and create a huge impact on children, men, and

  • Why Men Should Teach Feminism

    2168 Words  | 5 Pages

    Thinking about the first question – what leads me to teach feminism – the answer stems from my belief that alliances matter in the struggle for progressive social change, and that allies must be enlisted to support the aims of ending sex and gender discrimination.  The histories of justice-seeking movements in the United States can help to illustrate why alliance building is necessary as a follow up to and a complement to the concentrated efforts of a dedicated base of activists, such as suffragists in the 19th century, young black students involved in sit-ins in the early 1960s, or protestors against the second Gulf War in our time.  Social movements often follow a trajectory that begins with radical activists confronting oppression with direct action, even when a cause appears unpopular.  If the efforts of an activist base are successful in calling attention to unjust social practices, a sizable minority or even a majority of the wider population may decide that they have a stake in the movement’s success, making possible such historic legislative achie...

    Women have been fighting for equal rights ever since our country was created. Now I know that what men are fighting for is a different situation, but there is a common ground, Samantha Olson says in Medical Daily, “Feminism only speaks of one lopsided perspective in the gender inequality story. There is a common misconception that men are a gender exempt from the burdening expectations, stereotypes, and social pressures. Free from glass ceilings and slut shaming, but boys are faced with a totally different hate”. Women are fighting for a different reason, but I feel that we should piggyback off their

    To conclude, liberated women and the women's liberation movement are two separate, but related, concepts. The concerns of liberated women are more individualized than those of the women's lib movement. Liberated women are more concerned with their own personal identities and independence, whether it's their sexual freedom or freedom from their bras. The women's liberation movement, however, is more about women's collective interests and the actions that can be taken to remove the sexual oppression that denigrates all women.

  • Research Paper On Slut Shaming

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    Victims often find that they have to deal with a lot of harassment even after being shamed. For example, some men will come onto girls who have a reputation of being ‘sluts’ because they think the girls are going to be ‘easy’ and ‘into it”; thus, slut shaming can ruin how people, especially men, perceive and treat a women. Slut shaming can also increase rape culture by discrediting a women’s allegation of rape due to her sexual history. In so many cases where rape is reported, officers and lawyers attack the victims by questioning how they were dressed prior to being rape, how they acted, were they being ‘promiscuous’, or were they flirting with their rapist; if any of the above questions were answered “yes” they would claim the victim was “asking for it”. In the Steubenville rape case, a 16 year old girl was recorded being raped by two football players at a party. The footage was later sent to other classmates and quickly spread throughout the whole school; as a result of the “stigma surrounding sexual assault, she [the victim] was labeled as a slut and viciously tormented by her classmates,” (Nelson, 3). In cases like these, girls are slut-shamed for being victims of sexual

  • Empowerment Reflection Paper

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    Personally, I think that female empowerment means to motivate and encourage women to be who they are and to make the changes that they want to see in the world. We read in “Presence” by Amy Cuddy that in order to make change, women need to find their “best authentic selves.” This means being comfortable with who one is and being confident in one’s ability to make change. In the book “Vital Voices”, we read many examples of how women across the globe stepped up to make advances in the feminist movement. Each one of those women knew who they were and where they wanted to go. Many were raw with their emotions and experiences and used that to connect with their audience or inspire others to join a cause. This demonstrates that in order to empower others, an effective leader needs to capture the idea of authenticity. One can share their experience about having a personal drive to do something or share how they fearlessly utilized their skills to create a change, but most importantly, an effective leader can empower others by being the one that believes in someone else’s
