Psychology Question

Identify a social movement of interest to you. Document the origins, significant actions, and results of a social movement (e.g., the womens movement, the civil rights movement, the right to die movement, the environmental movement, the labor movement, etc.). Examine aspects of the social movement in terms of origin, major persons involved, aims in historical context, composition, type of action, evolution over time, concurrent influences, and current status in terms of programmatic, policy or legislative change. Finally, discuss whether the movement was successful, and any future steps that can be taken to further the movement.

This paper should be 6-7 pages of text and cite at least 3 scholarly sources (in additional to the textbook). APA format and writing standards are required- there is a template for APA on our ‘Start Here’ module 🙂
