Women’s rights movement

Order Instructions

This discussion requires you to answer two separate but related questions.

First, which of the social protests organizations/movements would you have supported?

Be specific in your selection of organizations/movements. For instance, if you wish to discuss the Civil Rights Movement, then identify a specific organization (ex: NAACP, CORE, SCLC, SNCC, BPP, NOI). If you wish to discuss the women’s rights movement, then identify a specific organization (ex: NOW). You can do the same with the anti-Vietnam War protests organizations, or those associated with the various student movements on college campuses (SDS, etc.).

Explain why these movements needed your support.

Explain why you think their cause was most necessary.

Second, which of the social protest movements do you think was most effective at advancing change? This part of the response is more argumentative, so you must incorporate historical evidence to prove your point.

–The discussion should be about a page long. The discussion should answer the question in language that takes a strong position and makes your answer to the question abundantly clear. Avoid writing a response that offers only a general discussion of the topic. Rather, write in such a way that makes clear you are trying to prove a point—to convince somebody of your perspective.
