Abstract
This paper describes the beginnings, the leaders and the motivations behind the anti-Vietnam War movement of the 1960s. The paper also takes a look at how much the anti-war movement actually affected U.S. action in the Vietnam War and what lessons were learned from the protest.
From the Paper
"The beginning of the Anti-War Movement can be found in the Free Speech Movement that had already taken hold at universities across the nation. At Berkeley, Mario Savio, having taught lessons on freedom in McComb, Mississippi in what was to become known as Freedom Summer, began the movement. Involved in the Civil Rights Movement, Savio saw a correlation of the oppression of blacks in the South, the war in Vietnam, and free dissemination of information on university campuses. Savio believed that students were entitled, under the First Amendment, to practice Free Speech on their campuses."

Abstract
This paper examines the Women's civil rights movement in 1960s, USA. It looks at the different motivations held by women taking part. Discusses the internal divisions and different groups within the movement and the goals and different motivations for protest.
From the Paper
"There was a great deal of variation in the causes and preoccupations of the women?s movement. Initially, the women?s rights movement emerged from the involvement of women in general civil rights protests. However, there are background causes that can be traced back to long before the civil rights movement. Protest stemmed from the place that women had in society at the start of the 60?s. The women?s movement was riddled with internal divisions and different groups within the movement had different motivations for protest and different goals.
The woman?s rights movement was very much tied up in the rest of the protest movement on the 60?s. It is often argued that the women?s movement originated from the involvement of women in race protests. This is the line of argument taken by Sara Evans in her writing that concentrates on the link between the woman?s movement and the black movement: ?the struggle for racial equality has been midwife for the feminist movement.? The argument runs that the movement started because of the experiences of white middle class women in the non violent protests about race. The argument runs that sparks of new protest in the women?s movement were ignited by the race movement in two main ways. Firstly, the women who participated gained a new kind of confidence. The protestation empowered them and they learnt that non-violent action could affect change. They also gained practical experience of protest and learnt ideas about the organisation and mobilisation that were vital for effective protest. Evans also claims that white women were inspired and spurred on by the strength of character of black women who they encountered. She suggests that there was a particular breed of black women who were particularly strong and resilient who played a role in the racial protest and that their unique sort of femininity was greatly admired by the white women."

Abstract
This paper examines the often violent and coercive tactics of anti-abortion movements, looks at some of the more famous anti-abortion leaders, explores the motivations of these leaders and the movements that follow them, and discusses the perception by many that the anti-abortion movement is just one part of a broader, more conservative, anti-feminist, political agenda.
From the Paper
"Both the pro-life and anti-abortion movements are motivated by one concept: that human personhood begins at conception. To these groups an embryo and a fetus are all human persons who should be granted the same rights, privileges and protections as a child or adult (Violence & harassment at U.S. abortion clinics). Operation Rescue is an anti-abortion organization that states that it is dedicated to the protection of children in the womb and their mothers who are exploited by abortion. The group declares that ?We work in every way we can to manifest the truth of God concerning abortion? (Operation Rescue Colorado). Unfortunately, ?every way we can? includes violence, murder and the misuse of religion to inspire what any moral individual could only interpret as unholy acts."

Abstract
This paper discusses how in terms of ideologies, actions, and goals that exist, or should exist in order for the anti-globalization movement to develop into a successful global social movement, there is general agreement that there must be a greater emphasis on social and political issues such as gender equality, and economic issues such as product music and entertainment product copyright protection. The paper further discusses that these are only two of a multitude of important issues that need to be addressed, but they reflect the anti-globalization movement's fundamental goal of protecting the social, political, and economic rights of individuals, groups, and societies as globalization expands. For example, globalization has presented many challenges and opportunities for the transnational women's movement.

Abstract
This paper examines the historical importance and legacy of the Anti-federalist movement, based on a reading of the article "Anti-federalists, the First Congress and the First Parties" by John Aldrich and Ruth Grant.
The paper discusses the movement's role in the formation of the party system, which today endows the United States with its leadership, its philosophy and its cultural identity. The paper holds that Aldrich and Grant's article succeeds in reinforcing the impression of the long-defunct party as an important player in the development of many institutions which are, for their contributions, relevant today. The paper concludes that the political philosophy framework, which the authors utilize, is particularly compelling, suggesting an organic process by which ideals begat parties and parties began applied institutions.
From the Paper
"The authors take a theoretical approach which is at once rational and psychological. Certainly, the long-term relevance of a party with such a brief lifespan as that which eclipsed over the anti-federalist party would be bore out as a product of its practical institutional thinking. That it would disappear as an official party suggests less that it had conceded to its non-existence in light its failure to lead the First Congress in its conceptualization of the Constitution and more that its structural proclivity for compromise would ultimately make it susceptible to a diminished party distinction. This in turn, would help to create the rational formulation of the Republic Party. The process is explained by the authors as a matter of natural political continuity, wherein "the Anti-federalists' votes combined with the antiadministration Federalists to create a bloc, led by Madison, with sufficient strength to challenge and, at times, temporarily block enactment of Hamilton's plan." (301) This bloc, the authors argue, would be the catalyst in forming the Republican Party. Its proclivity toward party-line voting in accordance with an ideologically-based political power-group would presage the modern party system with a distinctly philosophical modus operandi. This is the reality which would follow naturally the ideological assumption that the Anti-federalists, and thereafter the Republican Party, would serve public office "on behalf of the people as a whole." (298) Here, we are also given cause to suggest a psychological theoretical approach to party development and the shaping of the Constitution, with the philosophical focus of Anti-federalist efforts taking on a pointedly humanist approach shaping the nation."

Abstract
This paper questions whether the anti-war sentiment in the US shortened the Vietnam War. The author contends that protesters succeeded in creating a certain consciousness of war activities within the American public. It is argued that the public had only begun to question the war once it was apparent that it had continued for many years, and that there was some feeling that once committed, America could not withdraw without achieving victory. By analyzing the government's reaction to several anti-war incidences in US, the paper argues the government did not have a deep understanding of the anti-war sentiment. Therefore, the anti-war movement could not have impacted the war to such an extent as to shorten it.
From the Paper
"Vietnam was a situation that seemed to develop slowly in the consciousness of the American public so that much of the country seemed to discover rather suddenly that the nation was enmeshed in a growing war to which there seemed no end. In truth, America had been involved in Vietnam for many years before the issue became the catalyst for social protest and political reprisals in the U.S., and for much of that time the public ignored what was taking place. American involvement actually started in 1954, and at that time it was the French who had been caught in the Vietnamese quagmire (Chafe 259). Full American involvement was contemplated prior to 1954 and rejected, in part because Eisenhower did not believe that a military victory was possible because of the political situation in the region, since the people supported the Viet Minh and identified Ho Chi Minh as the leader of their independence movement (Scheer 274-275)."

From the Paper
"The concept of Rousseau of a natural man as a symbol of pre-civilized innocence and seeing him as an untutored savage is difficult to understand. This was also not taken as a look at other cultures, as the innocent savage of Rousseau is a part of the European mentality and not a person from the other unknown nations of Africa and America. There have also been other images similar to it like the famous cartoon by James Gillray which showed some unknowns enjoying a meal of dismembered aristocrats. (19th century AD)"

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the movement against the Iraq War as it has manifested itself in the U.S. since 2003. The paper looks at mainstream media coverage of public rallies, focusing on a report in the Los Angeles Times and a report from Reuters. The paper discusses the ANSWER media savvy organizing group that is rarely noted in mainstream media coverage of public rallies but which has a large role in sponsoring them. The paper thus shows how a mainstream news source omits small pieces of information that can have a significant effect on the interpretation of the news story.
From the Paper
"The first protests against the Iraq War actually began just prior to the onset of the war itself, at a time when it was becoming clear that the military preparations and intensified propaganda leading up to the invasion had passed a point of no return. In March of 2003, mass protests in both the United States and Britain, denominated the "World Says No to War" protests, attracted approximately 500,000 marchers nationwide. Since then the movement has had its ups and downs, but generally been able to sponsor large turnouts near the anniversary dates of the invasion (March of each year.) Many have commentated that this level of organization and turnout is remarkable given the lack of a military draft, which in past times (notably the Vietnam war) has substantially enlivened anti-war movements (Garfinkle.)"

From the Paper
"Until rather recently, globalization was a term that few people had ever heard, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank were merely among the welter of international agencies that cluttered newspaper reportage and which most newspaper readers ignored as obscure and technical, of interest only to specialists. In recent years however, globalization has become a flash-point issue in international politics. Trade negotiations and conferences of the IMF and World Bank are regularly accompanied ... "

From the Paper
"In the early 20th century, lung cancer was rare, but the disease rose from obscurity by the 1930s (Meyer, 1992, p. 72). This was because people began smoking cigarettes in large numbers Indeed, during this time, cigarettes and their accoutrements were associated with glamour, sophistication, and mystery. The appeal of smoking was mirrored in popular culture by the use of trendy ashtrays, ashstands, and lighters (Parente, 1992, p. 30-33). In the 1950s, medical research claiming harmful effects from tobacco had not been proven yet, and the tobacco industry turned to hiring public relations firms to further convince the American public of the merits of smoking (Miller, 1992, p.1).
Today, things are different. Smoking, once associated with glamour and sophistication, is now associated with cancer and heart disease. In addition, medical research has shown that.."

From the Paper
"During most of America?s history war has been glorified. Whether for political or economic reasons, the government has presented the option of war as real and necessary for the survival of the union. However, the attitude of embracing war has not necessarily been the typical one. In each of America's conflicts, large segments of the population have been critical of the war effort, and even larger numbers have been apathetic.
After World War II and the Atomic Age, though, the attitude toward warfare changed. No longer was one government simply stating that it had the power or might to destroy another government. The stakes had jumped to even higher levels - mankind was now capable of destroying all of mankind.
Some scholars have commented that the voices of those who protested America?s involvement in war, ?sometimes muted but often ... "

From the Paper
"The 1960s were a time of social upheaval in American history, a time of protest against established institutions. Several groups perpetuated this upheaval with organized movements. The most widely known and supported were the blacks, women and students. Certainly, the organized movements represented a larger protest of certain sections of society against society's standards and established institutions, though each of the groups manifested this protest with reference to different issues.

Abstract
This paper examines how social movements come and go, but their after-effects frequently continue to shape the course of a society for a long time. In particular, it reviews the impact of the civil rights movement on campus-based student movements and politics during the 1960s in America and examines their respective contexts as social movements. Finally, it assesses the long-term implications for American society.
From the Paper
"Deprivation, discontent, and frustration are frequently assumed to be sufficient causes for initiating or joining a social movement. The relationship is complex, however; for instance, there is little evidence that the most deprived segments of a population are the most likely to participate in social movements. The concept of relative deprivation has been used to explain the fact that persons who could be much worse off than they are but still feel deprived in comparison with even more fortunate groups often play a prominent part in social movements (Killian et al., 2002, s. 3). Anyone seeking to better understand the underlying social forces at work in these types of movements must recognize that the phenomenon is complex and the process convoluted."
