Social Change Impact Social Change Impact Civil Rights movement is referred to the fight for equal rights that was conducted throughout the world. Gay rights movement which is even recognized as LGBT rights movement is referred to measure taken by gay groups in order to achieve acceptance within the society. Women’s right movement is referred to the movement conducted by women throughout the world to attain their rights that are equal to the rights entitled to the male gender of the society. All these movements started because the society was not accepting the rights of certain groups such as the women and gay individuals. These individuals protested in order to attain their rights and to gain acceptability within the society. For example: the civil rights movement started as the society viewed black Americans as inferior and was not accepting them as equal part of the society and similar events were witnessed in LGBT rights and women rights movement. The women’s right movement ended up in gaining success because they broke their ultimate goal of attaining their rights into manageable goals and they did not try to bring out a change immediately (Loeb, 2010, p. 64). Secondly no one was quite aware about the various advantages that will take place as a result of this change and in order to experience the unforeseen advantages, this change was accepted. The main contributing factor for the sustainability of women right movement was that those involved in this movement did not back down and continued to fight for their rights even when there were huge obstacles.
