Colonial Activists and Modern Radicals

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the many differences between activism in early and present-day America. The paper explains that, not only are goals and issues different, but the methods of calling attention to those goals and achieving them are different as well. In particular, the paper suggests that today's activist are more concerned with the common good than were the activists of the past who were more concerned with acquiring and protecting their wealth.

From the Paper:

"The Colonial Radicals were constructed largely of men, and those men of some substance, whether intellectually, influentially or financially, as
far as the leading forces were concerned. Modern Activists are made up of just about anyone who has a passion for some injustice or something they want to change. Communications is the main influence for the vastly different population of the Modern Activist, and to augment this is the internet, which can span countries together with the same causes. Of course, a people more united makes a more formiddable force, and, in the near future, world leader's will be forced to bend to these people, who are now uniting with similar causes."
