In this session, we examine contemporary movements like the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Donald Trump's MAGA movement, and #metoo. We discuss the varying effectiveness of these movements in achieving their goals, from significant policy impacts to increasing awareness without clear legislative success. This overview sets the stage for a deeper exploration of why recent movements often struggle to translate heightened awareness into concrete changes, laying the groundwork for our next discussion on the complexities of enacting change in contemporary times.
