Question 4: The ending of the way pay gap everybody

4. Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole?

This movement was important because women got equal payments as men and it impacts society that every women deserves equal payments as men. In other words, that other country is trying to make some changes like making the women and men equal payments. This movement is important to ensure that the women are getting equal payment so that men and women well get the same paycheck. The reader should care that women aren’t getting much money as men and so you care about that and help the women finish their mission wish will make the salaries equal to men and women as they want to achieve it and make women and men get equal paychecks and then mission complete and we all go home happy.

Question 3: The effectiveness of way pay gap

3. Do you think that the way the resistors responded to oppression was effective? Why or why not?

I think the resistors was not very effective that they still didn't gave equal salaries because the women are still getting low payments. In the article (Animio Box) by (wikipedia), “In the U.S. the gender pay gap has not changed in the past decade with women earning 78% of men”. In other words, The United States the gender pay gap has not for a long time that the women hasn't gotten equal salaries because the women are still earning the 78% of men. I think that the resisters was not that very effective because the women are still getting low salary so it was not effective.

Question 2: The connection of Cesar Chavez and the way pay gap

2. What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different?

This connects with Cesar Chavez when the growers would get more money then the farmers like men get more money then women. In the article (Tavaana) ”On top of that, grape pickers were paid an average of 90 cents per hour, plus ten per baskets picked, placing their families well below the poverty line" In other words this demonstrates that Cesar Chavez when the growers would get more money then the farmers like men get more money then women and thats how they both connects because of women getting low salary and men getting just like Cesar Chavez the growers get a lot salary and the farm workers get low salary.

Question 1: Oppressors and Resistors in the Gender Pay Gap

1. Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement?
The women are trying to make men and equal payments for all the world. Women get lower salary at every job and men are getting higher salaries. According to the women make 87% of what men make. Women are posting around that says “women and men equal payment” and doing speeches to stop giving women low salary. The event demonstrates oppression and resistance because the women are trying to stop the low salary for women. The resistance was not effective at all bringing change because it still will not stop the low salary for women


The oppressors are the employers of women who are getting low salary.
In the article (gender pay gap) by (citation bot), “In the United States, the gender pay gap has not changed in the past decade with women earning around 78% of men.”
employees are are getting half the money of what the men are getting.
This demonstrates that the employers are the oppressors because… they don’t give the women half of the money that men get.

The Resistors are the women are trying to stop the gender pay gap by walking around with posters and speeches for women and men equal payments.
The employer declare to give more cents to the women.
The employers don't want to give extra money to the money.
This demonstrates that the women are resisting the gender pay gap because... they are doing non-violence towards the employer.

While in the U.S. the gender pay gap has increased for men and decreased for women. The women are resisting by posting walking around speeches tours the world. In the U.S. women are getting low salary and the men are getting high salary women are resisting by walking around with posters and speeching for the whole world can hear that women are getting low salaries.

Question 4: Impact to Community

Question 4: Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole?
The movement was important because Freddie Gray died from the abuse of the police this impacts the community because they know that racism is still going on. In “We Failed To Get Freddie Gray timely Medical Care After He Was Arrested” , Elisha Fieldstadt says “According to the city an officer made an eye contact with gray and he took off runnining so they pursued him” . This means that Freddie Gray did not receive any medical attention or wasn't buckled into a seat belt in a police van. This is relevant because it shows how much they don't care about one person who is black.

In the situation of Freddie Gray what are the resistors going to do in the oppression of Baltimore is reak havoc around the city to find answers and justice. In the event of Freddie Gray happened on April when he was abused by the police and not getting medical care or the seat belt which led to his death. The death of gray happened because the police were racist towards Freddie.

Question 3: Resisting to Oppression was Effective

Question 3: Do you think that the way the resistors responded to oppression was effective? Why or why not?
I think the resisting was not effective to the response of the oppression in Freddie Gray’s death because it caused a lot of violence and destruction in the city of Baltimore. In “Nonviolence as Compliance” , Parsley says, “Rioting broke out on Monday in Baltimore an angry response to the death of Freddie Gray a death my native city seems powerless to explain Gray did not die mysteriously in some back alley and yet the mayor of that city and the Commissioner of that city police still have no idea what happened” . This means that the people in Baltimore responded in a violent protest and the government seem like they did not have anything to do with the killing of Freddie Gray. This is relevant because the angry protestors were causing trouble in the city while the government did nothing. The protestors and the cities government could have resulted in having a peaceful riot

Question 2: The Connection and Justice Movement of Freddie Gray

Question 2: What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different?

The death of Freddie Gray is similar to Martin Luther King because they both protested . In the article “Heres What Martin Luther King Jr. Really Thoughts About Urban Riots” , Alice Gross says , “I just want to you to hear you say there should be peaceful protest not violent protest in the tradition of Martin Luther King “. This means that the protest in Freddie Gray's death was violent while Martin Luther King was peaceful. This demonstrates that Freddie Gray and Martin Luther King have a connection because they both show that Freddie Gray and Martin Luther King protested except that Freddie Grays was violent and not Martin Luther King protest.

Question 1: Oppressors and resistors of Freddie Gray

Question 1: Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement?
On April 12 2015 in Baltimore Freddie Gray's death has caused a lot of people to protest. The death of Freddie Gray happened in Baltimore when the police abused him he violently ended up dying a week later by not having a seatbelt in a police van by moving around while having the spinal cord injury. it is said that he was in a coma with no medical treatment . The event in Baltimore is considered a social justice movement because it shows that the black community is having a bad relationship with the police force due to being racist towards the black men.

The oppressor of the death of Freddie Gray are the police and the resistors are the protestors of the black community. In “Rough Rides and The Challenges of Improving Police Culture” , David A. Graham says, “Citizens have accused police of using aggressive driving to rough suspects up for decades in jurisdiction across the country “ .This,means that over the years police have been repeatedly abusing people. This is important because police are aggressively injuring many people. In ”The Mysterious Death of Freddie Gray” , David A. Graham says “Black men are dying at the hands of the police is of course nothing new but the nation is now paying attention and getting outraged “. This is saying that the black community is angry with the police for killing black men. This is relevant because the police are getting the attention of the black community for killing one of their own.

question 4; Movement Of Society

4. Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole? (1-2 paragraphs)
This movement is important because we want to stop the violence,  police brutality just because black lives matter. In the article according to Rebecca Reber she says, "Consistently Psychologist have found the students more likely to shoot the unarmed black person over an unarmed white person.’’ In other words, police are scared of black people because they think their going to harm them and whites would not. This demonstrates what happened to Michael Brown was unfair because according to Rebecca they would not have killed him if he was white. This proves racism is not over in are because police keep killing blacks.

Question 3: The Response of the Resistors to Michael Brown's Death

3. Do you think that the way the resistors responded to oppression was effective? Why or why not? (1 paragraph)

The protesters did not respond in a effective way because after Michael Brown death lead to violence and unrest and it did not improve the relationship between the African American and the police. According to the article ‘’Michael Brown Shooting they killed another young black man in America" by Jon Swane, "The lethal flash violence has sparked a series of furious protests across the small city and fresh crisis over civil rights and police brutality in the U.S."  In other words, people end up dying from theses protest. This demonstrates that the protestors did not respond to the death of Michael Brown in an effective way because whole point was to stop the violence but the protesters made it worse.

Question 2: Similarities Between Michael Brown and Freedom Riders

2. What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different? (1 paragraph)
The death of Michael Brown connects to the Martin Luther King civil rights movement because racism is still a problem. The Freedom Riders is a group of black students that rode the bus to protest interstate travel laws. In the article ‘’Freedom Rides’’ by History Staff, during the traveling, "The  group encountered tremendous violence from white protesters along the route". In other words, the violence for the blacks was huge obstacle to move forward from being used. This demonstrates that Michael Brown and the Freedom Riders are similar because they both faced racism and police brutality.

Question 1: Michael Brown Movement

1. Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement? (1-2 paragraphs)
Michael Brown was an unarmed teenager that was gunned down by an officer. Apparently Brown robbed a store near by and shoved the clerk and left the seen.  At the time Michael Brown was shot he and the cop had an physical and verbal altercation and Brown walked away with his hands up in the air. After Brown was shot a violent protest happened. The oppressors in this event are the police institutions in America. The resistors were the African Americans and other races that supported changing the criminal justice system to be less discriminatory against African Americans . The ways resistors reacted was in a negative way because they protest lead to violence, Justice was never Over the racism still exists.

The oppressors are the police institution in America the resistors in this movement are the African Americans. In the article “Michael Brown and Black Men” by Charles M. Blow, Blow argues, “The criminalization of the black and brown bodies particularly male one from the moment they are the first introduced to the institution and power structures with which must interact.” In other words, blacks are being picked on by state institution like the police, This demonstrates that the resistors are the African Americans because they're the ones fighting against institution. The oppressors are the police because the have the power over everyone and they abuse it by police brutality unfairly targeting minorities.

Question 4: Why Should History Remember Trayvon Martin

4. Why is this movement important? What impact does it have on our community or society as a whole? (1-2 paragraphs)
This movement is important because this impacts our society for years about racism. Martin Luther King made a difference for everyone. In his “I Have a Dream Speech,” King said, "White wpeople and black people could come together holding hands our nation will rise up". In other words, we all have to work together if we want to make a difference . We just have to work together as a team. This demonstrates that we can change the world and help others that are in need. Let the world know that we are all equal.

Should we all be treated the same and equal ? Trayvon Martin was an African American boy who got killed by  Zimmerman because he look like not a good kid. People have something against African Americans. We should care because no matter what race you are we should all be treated equally.                              

Question 3: Was it a big deal with the Oppressions and Resistance

3. Do you think that the way the resistors responded to oppression was effective? Why or why not? (1 paragraph)
I think the way the resistors respond to the death of Trayvon Martin was effective . African-Americans are supporting Trayvon Martin because of racism. Zimmerman was saying that he was trying to defend himself from Trayvon. In the article “Zimmerman Cleared Of All Charges In Shooting Death Of Trayvon,” from the Los Angeles Times and adapted by Newsela Staff, “Protesters said that he was following the 17 year old boy on purpose only because he was black.” In other words, Zimmerman was being racist only because of Trayvon’s skin color. This demonstrates that the resistance was effective because Zimmerman should feel guilty for killing Trayvon who had a family that love him and now they must be having a difficult time right now because of what happen to there 17 year old boy Trayvon Martin.

Question 2: Connections with Trayvon Martin

2. What connection does this case study have to historical or fictional social justice movements we studied in class? How is it similar OR different? (1 paragraph)

The connection between Trayvon Martin and Martin Luther King is that before the Civil Rights Movement, African American were not treated fairly and Trayvon Martin was also not treated fairly because he was shot for no reason other than the way he looked. Before the Civil Rights movement, whites and blacks had there own separate bathrooms, restaurants, and water fountains. They went separate schools, didn’t live in the same community and didn’t get the right to vote. There would be when white would murder African Americans because of the color of there skin. Martin Luther king decided to change everything so that everyone could be treated equal with respect. He made a speech called “I Have A Dream” and he spoke many African-Americans people. He said "black people and white people could come together hand and hand that my four little children will not be judge by their color of their skin and our nation will rise up.” In other words, Martin Luther is saying that we can change the world if we believe we can work together as a nation. This demonstrates, that Trayvon Martin and Martin Luther  had a connection because they both were treated unfairly by racism.

Question 1: Oppressors and Resistors in the Case of Trayvon Martin

1. Who are the oppressors and resistors in this movement?
Do we deserve to be treated right? Trayvon Martin was a 17-year old African-American boy who lived in Florida. He was shot by a man named George Zimmerman because he looked suspicious. After Trayvon was killed, hundreds of African Americans gathered in a small park outside the courthouse to support Trayvon Martin. They stood up for Trayvon Martin because Zimmerman killed him for no reason. Many African-Americans wear hoodies and hold up a bags of Skittles and say "I am Trayvon Martin." To support him for something he has not done. This event demonstrates oppression and resistance because Trayvon Martin was killed by a man named Zimmerman because he said that Trayvon was attacking him. 

The oppressors is Zimmerman. He said that Trayvon Martin looked suspicious. In the article "Shooting Of Trayvon Martin," "This guy looks like he up to no good or he is on drugs or something." In other words, Zimmerman is an oppressor because he saying that Trayvon looks like a bad person. This demonstrates that George Zimmerman actions is an example of rational that African-Americans face because he murdered a teenager boy from Florida because of his skin color. 

The resistors are African American people who are fighting against this crime. African-Americans are fighting against George Zimmerman because this is against racism. African-Americans were supporting Trayvon Martin by wearing hoodies and holding a bag of skittles saying "I am Trayvon Martin." They are telling Zimmerman "I am solidarity because of Trayvon Martin was an innocent person."
