Advocating a Movement on Civil Rights Concerning Social Justice

Equality advancement for all persons is essential regardless of age, race, sex, nationality, religion, or disability. Civil right movement act as an established platform to advocate the social issues affecting people. Therefore, civil rights are affected by various aspects that may trigger the formation of such a movement. Hence, such aspects include workplace discrimination, weight bias, brutality by law enforcers as well as human trafficking (Hoyt, 2016). Despite, these aspects having been addressed in the 20th century, they are significant as each plays a part in social injustice today. Thus, it would be accurate to identify how each aspect is critical in society currently. The issue of discrimination is vital because the Act of equality addressing it seems to pass. In fact, the unique cases of discrimination are on the uptick. Surprisingly, both genders are involved especially in the workplace. The aspect is vital since the economy of a nation depends on the overwhelming performance of its citizens.

On the other hand, weight bias is an aspect that results in obese workers earning less compared to thinner colleagues. Although, working on minimal weight may be helpful, the issue is significant since human bodies respond naturally. Hence, individuals need no valuation in terms of weight. More importantly, if the issue is not addressed, then the most competent obese people will be eliminated in workplaces, which is a loss in society. Brutality by the police is not justifiable in the society. Besides, the latter is common which makes it critical since no one stands out for the common man if it happens. Sadly, the aspect of police brutality is based on racial persecution (Hoyt, 2016). Also, human trafficking is a primary concern in society. In fact, the latter would be the most significant aspect since it is a revolution of traditional slavery. Hence, instead of abolishing slavery, the aspect has now advanced to human trafficking. Presumably, a social movement is an impact on such aspects of society.

The authors agree on the civil rights movement having to impact solidarity among black communities. Besides the articles concludes that maximizing the likelihood to vote depends on participation in religious, civic organizations as well as a political discussion. However, I would say that civic engagement is an extension of social capital and opportunities in politics.

I would say that the mass culture artifacts suppress and distort as much as they reveal the past of civil rights.

The author's work I relevant to advocating for the civil rights movement since the article gives privilege to all races associated with social justice.

The authors believe the book would impact the key change law of America and society. The authors conclude that movement's memories are maintained in means that we at times perceive vaguely. I would also say exhibits, art, community celebrations, as well as street names, can maintain memorials.
