One current example of an alternative social movement, which is becoming increasingly popular in the military community, is home schooling. This alternative to public school is becoming increasingly popular as a dissatisfaction of public schools increases among parents. A redemptive social movement is similar to an alternative social movement, in that it also targets a specific group, but a more extreme change is desired than that of alternative social movements (Macionis, 2006). A current example of a redemptive social movement is anti-death penalty movement. This movement cites the main reason for their movement as the 8th Commandment, which says that thou shalt not kill. A current reformative social movement aims at one specific issue, but targets all of society (Macionis, 2006). One example of a reformative social movement is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. PETA’s primary goal is to decrease the slaughter of animals for selfish reasons. In recent years, PETA has specifically sought out to reform those in the public eye, like singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, but PETA’s campaigns are widespread. A revolutionary social movement seeks to change all members of society (Macionis, 2006). A current example of a revolutionary social movement is the National Organization for Women, or NOW. NOW’s primary goal is to close the gap on gender inequality and seeks to empower women. Now was established in 1966 and currently continues to fight for women
