SUMMARY:Reform Movements in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks how can citizens of a country affect change for the common good? The French commentator on American society in the 1830s\, Alexis de Toqueville\, observed that Americans are very quick to join together to promote whatever causes they favor\, and there was certainly evidence around him. Reforms on many issues — temperance\, abolition\, prison reform\, women’s rights\, missionary work in the West — fomented groups dedicated to social improvements. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nWhat factors motivated antebellum reformers to take action?\nWhat were the common strategies antebellum reformers used?\nWhat did antebellum reformers achieve?

SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “why did it take so long for women to get the right to vote?” Sex and gender are two different concepts. Sex refers to biological differences while gender relates to the roles and expectations culture assigns to each group. Every culture struggles with adjusting the roles of men and women to secure a just and harmonious society. Several factors like religion\, science\, tradition and technology influence gender roles. By tradition\, men had near exclusive domination of politics in the United States\, but that began to change in the 19th century with increasing urbanization\, educational opportunities for women and changes in home responsibilities. \nReflect on the following questions:\nWhat attitudes about their gender and expected role in society did women need to overcome to gain the right to vote?\nWhat tactics did suffragists use to convince society they deserved the right to vote?\nWhat impact did the 19th Amendment have on women and their government?

SUMMARY:Rep Ep 5: Tell The Truth\, Truth
DESCRIPTION:Do we even need representation? What does “telling the truth” actually mean and why do we do it? Does objectivity exist? Can our biases work in our favor? These questions have come up over and over again throughout the journey of Rep\, and in this chapter\, we face them head on.\nOur story guides include comedian and actor Hasan Minhaj\, journalist Aymann Ismail\, writer Najma Sharif and others.
