Ideal families in the fifties consisted of a working father, a mother who was a housewife, and a few children. Many men joined unions to take care of their families, where they were able to receive pensions and health benefits. The government also supported most families with their financial situation after the war had ended. Although the "ideal" family life was pleasing, it did not last very long. According to Pauline Irit Erera in What Is A Family, "The main reason for family change was…

the ones who did not benefit from the revolution were the peasants and those in poor communities. This eventually led to social-structure movements that intended to diminish the gap between social classes and provide equality economically. The Liberation Theology Movement affirms freeing of social, political, economic maltreatment as an attempt of salvation. Early 1960s, the church was riding a new wave. The churches began to take…

Peter Singer in, Animal Rights: debate between Peter Singer & Richard Posner, makes clear his position that animals which feel, deserve the consideration of their well being by humans. This position echos his stance as an Utilitarian because the moral theory of Utilitarianism weighs the sum of happiness and least unhappiness in a holistic approach that reaches beyond mere inclusion of human beings. Singer therefore encourages us to include the animal kingdom in the conversation of maximum…

For this essay the two films that have been chosen are Pride and Suffragette. Both films are quite recent being released in 2014 and 2015 respectively. For each of the films this essay will go through the accuracy of the films and how they portrayed the historic events.

Environmental justice is very ambiguous term as it denotes the need for not only environmental sustainability but also social liberation. Regrettably, not every citizen, politician or business owner is apprehensive about our wilting global environment. To this very day, there are scholars and politicians that contend that climate change and global warming is the rhetorical vehicle for which liberal propaganda can be transported. Consequently, these same leaders in their lofty positions deny that…

In addition to the creation of Gay Liberation Front, a newspaper called Gay was created -- the first of its kind. When the GLF disbanded, the Gay Activists Alliance was formed immediately afterwards, a new group that unabashedly proclaimed support for gay issues and forced politicians to acknowledge…

Hence, if historians are really interested in making civil rights harder, they need to take the lead and leave the trodden path. Not necessarily by developing new frameworks to counter a White-centered conservative take on civil rights movement with a White-centered liberal or leftist approach, but rather, by developing ways that allow them to capture the different ways and means African Americans expressed their resistance. No matter how long and how much historians tweak on the timeline or…

Liberation theology and Catholic Social Teaching are two very important aspects of Catholicism, and are the basis of which we should live each day. Catholic Social Teaching is rooted in the love of God. God loves us, sent down His only Son, and gave us the Holy Spirit; we are called to use this as a lesson and to love one another as brothers and sisters under God. Catholic Social Teaching is a guide that teaches us and reminds us how to do so. There are seven distinct themes in Catholic Social…

Ask any young gay where the modern LGBT movement began, and it’s likely they’ll answer “Stonewall.” The Stonewall Riot, a two day period of rioting after a police raid at a gay bar in 1969, is often hailed as the genesis of sexuality and gender liberation in America. However, ask any LGBT historian the same question, and their answer might be much more complex. Although within the modern LGBT community Stonewall is considered the turning point toward true equality, both socially and politically,…
