SOCIAL MOVEMENTS & INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence
On a basic or fundamental level, social movements are changes made mostly by the people and not a government or law enforcement agency. Social movements are not immediate and take years and often decades to yield results. Social movements are often but not always a response to unfairness, injustice, intolerance, and imbalance within a culture and/or society. In recent global history, the decade that saw a great deal of change due to social movements was the 1960s. In the 21st century, greatly in part to the advent of certain forms of digital technology, social movements are on the rise and grassroots activism has dispersed to deeper levels around Earth. Social movements are forms of organized actions usually taken by those who are disenfranchised, marginalized, or otherwise isolated or oppressed by the mainstream culture in which the social movement takes place. Social movements can enact a change, undo a change, and certainly resist a change. Therefore social movements can be both proactive as well as reactionary. The issues that social movements are based upon are usually very political; there are usually economic and social...
The actions to which the social movements are responses were not instantaneous, neither should the response be. There is a logic to the progression of social change; it makes sense that social movements and social change(s) do not happen immediately. People need time to react and really understand their feelings about a particular subject before they organize themselves toward a specific goal via specific means. All social movements require time and planning. Why should those in the fields of intelligence, terrorism, and protection be interested and attentive to social movements? All the aforementioned fields are directly related to social movements and are often involved in the destruction of social movements.
Many of the parties involved in the social movements of the 1960s were considered terrorists and were treated as such by agencies such as the New York Police Department, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Chicago Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and many countless others. Law enforcement agencies or bodies arrest members and…
King called upon Black churches to challenge the status quo and to change the pervasively oppressive social order. Racism, economic and labor exploitation and war were named by King as the three greatest evils of American society and they needed to be fully eradicated to resolve social disparity. King's idea of integration was complex; he struggled to eliminate or reduce poverty by linking political power, wealth, and poverty...."King's unfinished search
The perspectives presented in the first instance by the two main candidates for the Democrat nomination is essential. Their presence of the ballots raises serious questions that in the end target defining issues for the American society. On the one hand, Hilary Clinton addresses the issue of women in the society and in the political and civil arena; on the other hand, Obama underlines the existence of the African-American community,
It is an evangelical attempt, generally, to right some wrong or to gain some sort of justice. Examples of social movements include the equal rights movement, the women's movement, and the green movement. While the public is, by far, not completely enraptured by these movements, they tend to engage the action of elites, specialized members of the population, and at least a moderate amount of the general public. They
Women's health, sexuality, motherhood, and other issues became of real importance. They were talked about instead of just hushed. Both men and women benefited from the women's movement. Society, however, was the major benefactor, as women's perspectives were able to influence everything from government to entertainment. The continuation of the women's movement would have a similarly strong impact. This movement would encourage the complete equality of men and women in
Social Movement: The Civil Rights Struggle of the 1950s and 1960s The civil rights struggle in American history is one which is littered with numerous famous events and rulings and which marked the fierce battle of African-Americans to fight for equality. One of the most famous protagonists of the civil rights era was Rosa Parks, the tired seamstress who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white
Social Work as a Social Movement During the early part of the 20th century, social work was a way of helping individuals, but did little to question the status quo of larger groups of people. However, beginning in the 1950s, broad-based social movements began to challenge relationships that had previously been seen as private. While the underpinnings of these movements began in the 1950s, they became prominent in the 1960s. These
