During the mid-nineteenth century, many people became dedicated to the causes of women's rights and the abolition of slavery Others, however, opposed these social movements.

How do you evaluate social movements and causes in today's world?

What do you think makes a cause right or wrong?

Why would you join a social movement?

Why would you refuse to join a movement?​

If the social movement shares your beliefs than you might consider joining it, but if it doesn’t then it wouldn’t be a very intelligent choice. You should surround yourself with people who share your interests. Social movements are created to share a message and if the social movement isn’t violent or leads to violence then it is most probably a good movement to join.

Answer:

I differ what they're trying to do from people who use it as an excuse to do bad things. Depending on how they handle stuff or the reason for the movement. I think what makes a cause right is bringing attention to how people are treated differntly because of their sexuality, race, or hobbies. Of course this is not all also raising money for those in need and letting people know that their differences is what makes them special. What makes a movement wrong is when they are raising a cause towards something bad or for personal gain. I would join a movement because of the awareness it brings to problems. I would refuse to join a movement if they are just causing bad things towards everyone else.
