Reflection on gender/ race movies

The first movie was "Iron Jawed Angels", the movie depicted defiant young activists, women who  joined the women's suffrage movement. The women put their lives at risk to help American women win the right to vote. The women wanted to be treated equal as everyone else. There political opportunity is to make a difference for the women in the country, as much as men depend on the women to nurture. This women wanted to make a difference they wanted their voices to be heard, make a stand fight for their rights as human beings. The collective action that was used in this move was present ideas that people can support. They employed frameworks or tactics that appeals to the public ethos, the collection action was the feminist in the move who were the suffragette, who knew the problem and took initiative to present their diagnostic of the problem that they were facing during their time. It also portrayed the women subjugation under a male dominant culture. These men had all the power to keep the woman from exercising their most fundamental right to vote. During the 20th century more women became active to reform the system in North america. Resource mobilization was when they had to pay a fee for getting arrested for violating abstracting traffic. Framing: The women stood up against their rights to vote, and other movements that allowed women to participate.

The second movie was, "The zapatistas", this movie depicted indigenous people from chiapas, who started a revolution against their country. They want their government to provide them with land, housing, education and better place to raise their young. They fought their government in order to receive this benefits. Resource mobilization would be resources, the people from chiapas did not have a lot money, they just had labor which was taken from them Framing: There were song of the Zapatistas that talked about the movement and their history.  Their key words for the success of campesinos was to have education, justice, and , and discrimination, they wanted to be heard, and this is when weapons are not be heard and be silent. Zapatistas want a peaceful change, they were heard and got better lives for their people.
