What is one example of citizen participation that has aimed to change the role and/or treatment of women?

 Part 1

In this unit, you have learned about human rights. What can we, as citizens of the United States, do about this? Is taking action against injustices our responsibility as citizens? Should it be?

For this activity, you will be exploring these difficult questions. In Part 1 of this activity, you will analyze how citizen participation can help achieve political and social change, specifically the treatment of women. You will need to find two different examples of e-mail campaigns, boycotts, blogs, podcasts, protests, demonstrations, or letters to editors in which the sole purpose has been to change the treatment and role of women in the United States. Next, you will analyze how effective or ineffective these efforts have been.

Use the following questions to guide your research and record your answers.

  1. What is one example of citizen participation that has aimed to change the role and/or treatment of women? Describe this example.
  2. Analyze and explain how effective this example was in changing the treatment of women.
  3. What is another example of citizen participation that has aimed to change the role and/or treatment of women? Describe this example.
  4. Analyze and explain how effective this example was in changing the treatment of women.

Part 2

For Part 2 of this activity, you will be exploring the roles of citizens on the local, state, and federal level. Do you feel that being an active participant in the equality of women (or any people for that matter) is the responsibility of citizens?

Though many people would answer ‘yes’ to this question, it is not a mandatory responsibility for citizens. But, what are the mandatory responsibilities of citizens?

Visit the suggested websites (or any others that you find useful) and fill in the chart below separating the responsibilities of citizens into either local, state, or federal. Find at least four for each column. Be sure to indicate if each responsibility is Mandatory or Voluntary (note that some responsibilities may fall into more than one category).
