My topic involves the different social movements in history and how they were all

created, the outcome, and whether they were triumphs or tragedies. Social movements relate to

the theme of triumph and tragedies because many rights that people wanted to create were either

not reasonable or others did not agree with them passing. I learned about social movements

because there are many going on in today's society and a lot of the movements create problems

between different opinionated groups of people. Therefore, researching other movements that

took place and the outcome of them can help understand the frustration of those who are working

on passing certain rights.

The movements in history have created an argument of opinions between different

groups. For example, the rallies that take place around the country about certain laws that should

be changed and improved do not make peace, but hatred. When a group of protesters battle for a

certain law or right to pass, the outcome of most is not positive. For example, the Cesar Chavez

and Martin Luther King movements were completed with what they strived for at the beginning,

which was the success of the rights. Both leaders had to struggle to prove what change would be

like when equality was settled in. The erratic situations in today’s society are becoming more

critical every day with relevant movements like LGBT, women's rights, me too, politics, and

racism. Those current movements are strong examples of how laborious it is to persuade others

with reasons on why to have the same opinions and or the challenge of one defending themselves

about their belief on a movement. Lastly, rights and laws are exceedingly important in today’s

society and more movements that build off of situations become interesting to have an opinion

too and follow along.

 Different movements can involve many tragedies or triumphs in the outcome. For

movements to work out and have their purposes, there must be a reason to follow. For instance,

if a protest has its organization, peaceableness, and a message about the movement, it would be

able to end on a result of triumph. The Cesar Chavez movement was courageous in the start and

concluded with a triumph change in our world. The Women's Rights Movement presently

continues to grow in the result of an agreement for it to be effective, therefore, there is still an

outcome yet to be determined. A tragedy is caused by violence and brawl actions, which lead to

movements not being represented enough. The main attraction to movements involves the

supporters who choose to be a part of it and help it rise to be bigger. When protestors gather to

become a group of people who aspire to fight for what is right, the world begins to notice.

Movements are the work of hope because they tell the work of hope, it is confrontation and

disruption from those who will rule the future. Individuals who choose to hold hope when justice

has slipped through their fingers allow various movements to be beautiful and triumph. Thus,

when there are activists or locals roaming the political streets marching for what is important,

that is when the triumph shows. Any movement that has a limited or immense crowd is what

brings triumph rather than tragedy.

With the research of movements, I was able to find my examples because of the many

situations that are presently taking place. The primary sources I used involved many videos of

movement leaders who explained their purpose and the sources helped to understand the

elements of my topic. I found many sources that led to others because of the information that was

helpful. There were sources that I used more than the others because they had more reasonable

material. Researching sources for movements were difficult because many sites had the same
reports and stories. Providing statements for my topic finished as uncomplicated because of the

news about protests that I was already aware of. Lastly, the sites that were listed on my

assignment allowed me to find multiple sources and receive details.
