...2. Explain the two goals of a social movement. While social movements have different goals to work toward. They have two main goals to start with. Social movements also have different goals at different stages of their movement but there are two goals that remain throughout. One of their two main goals is to raise awareness of a social problem. Then the second goal is to get the whole society to recognize the social problem and get it changed. These goals work together to start the movement. The organization must come together over the same social problem. They bring people in who believe in their problem. These people must organize and strategize their organization to have the same vision. They have these people to spend time and money to draw awareness to the problem. They do this to bring in more people into their organization and expand their organization. Once the organization expands large enough they begin to make awareness more prominent. The larger the organization the more areas that can be covered to make the problem more seen and the more resources that are available. They can use pamphlets, speeches, leaflets, media, and many other sources to get society to notice the social problem. Once the awareness of the problem is big enough there are steps taken to get the problem fixed. The problem is an unwanted social situation and is needed to be changed.

...Cultural Diversity and The Workplace Phyllis Bayard SOC220 October 3, 2015 Professor Mary Brito Cultural Diversity and the Workplace In our society, cultural diversity and lifestyles vary to an extreme. All across the world there are many different cultures, and many of them live in the United States. With more and more people entering the U.S. daily, we as a nation are becoming more and more diverse, not just in our culture, but in the workplace and schools. In the United States, alone we have many different cultures, religions, ethnic groups, and races just to name a few. While organizational interest in diversity continues to grow, “ U.S. Census Bureau predicts the U.S. population will be considerably older and more racially and ethnically diverse by 2060” (Dauber, 2015). They have also predicted that the non-Hispanic white population will peak at roughly 200 million by 2024, followed by a slow decrease. During that time it is predicted that both Hispanic and Asian will more than double. The total minority population is predicted to double by 2060. Cultural diversity exists even more with women in the work place. Women are hired, but only allowed to work in certain positions. For instance, beautiful women were hired to do masculine jobs only to be discriminated against because it was thought that they could not compete with men in the same positions. Therefore, women who enter a profession in order to climb...

...Helena Eliasson LIBRARTS SOC220 Prof. Edith Linn 7 March 2009 The BTK Killer – Dennis Rader Brief Biography Dennis Rader, who was William and Dorothea Rader’s firstborn son, came into this world on March 9, 1945. After his birth in Pittsburg, Kansas, the family moved shortly thereafter to Wichita, Kansas. As a child, Dennis seemed to be a normal kid with no special interests that could be perceived, by his surrounding society and family, as abnormal or perverted. Little they all knew about what was going on in his fantasies and in his privacy. The young boy Rader was an average student at his elementary school and through his school years he stayed mediocre with weak grades. Dennis has been described by people who knew him back then, as a well-mannered lone wolf who wasn’t really interested in staying socially active. In 1966, Dennis joined the U.S air force and served them for four years. He married Paula Dietz in 1971, shortly after his homecoming, and the two of them eventually had two children, Brian and Kerri. Rader earned an associates degree in electronics in 1973 and started his studies at Wichita State University the same year. It was about to take him an additional six years to earn a degree at the university, and all he had to show for it was C minus or D level grades. Dennis Rader lived a pretty normal life, seen from the perspective of an outsider, and after being let go by the air craft manufacturing company he worked for, in 1973, he got a job with...
