Question

There are many social movements that have occurred in our society to start or prevent change. Some movements are the Women's movement, Gay Rights, Pro-life, Pro-choice movement, Occupy, Black Lives Matter and the environmental movement (which has 50 subgroups!)

I bet many of you have participated in a movement directly or indirectly in your life.

1) Please explain a social movement you belonged to surrounding race, gender, or social clas and how you were part of the movement. Why did you join it and how has it impacted our society?

Or

2) If you have not been part of a movement when it comes to gender, race, and social class  I would like to you to choose a social movement that you WOULD join and explain why you would be part of this social movement (and how it impacts our society.)

Explanation / Answer

A social movement that I would personally like to be a part of is gender equity. This is a cause that affects a large majority of the population. One aspect of gender equity would pertain to fairness of treatment for women and men, according to their respective needs. Another aspect of it would relate to recognition of genders besides women and men, or gender identities outside of the established gender dichotomy.
