The book “The Social Revolution” applies the concept of Social Solidarity Economics where it applies a socio-economic order and new way of life that intentionally chooses serving the social needs of the people and achieving ecological sustainability as the goal of economic activity rather than maximization of profits, thus the Social Economy. It places economic and technological development to achieve social impacts and development. The Solution Revolution is a contrast and comparison of how society’s toughest public challenges have traditionally been approached by the government. It occurs in rare cases where we see such diverse resources such as volunteer time, crowdfunding, capabilities of multinational corporations, entrepreneurial and …show more content…
It can be large scale or small scale depending on the idea and the participation of other aspects of the wave makers who are involved. Through this social business, I can involve other citizens such as the marginalized to become partners in social change and help them get out of poverty. By targeting the gaps, I can develop new niche markets by meeting unanswered needs as well as gaps among ecosystem participants trying to address an ecological issue. Social entrepreneurship is not just about people, it is also answering the causes of the planet while still creating a profit. As simple as the problem of traffic congestions, social entrepreneurs has answered this problem through safe ride-sharing or carpooling mobile applications. I can also create social innovations answering the need for clean water supply in remote areas by creating a water purifier that is safe and more productive than what other companies provide. Social enterprise is a very diverse matter but always has three bottom-lines, people, profit and …show more content…
If we’re thinking about solving a social problem in terms of current efforts being done, we will confine the potential solutions to what is existing today, which obviously is not making much of a social impact. We should focus on the outcome rather than being confined to the bygone processes in our society in order to open up more potential solutions and other problem solvers. We should not let our resource constraints narrow our vision to create a social impact and become catalysts of change. Sometimes the best solutions are also the cheapest in terms of resources, we just need to persevere to find the right business model that can address our social issue. Another way to contribute to this social economy is by patronizing companies who undergo Corporate Social Responsibilities. Lastly, I learned that we should only measure what matters. The right metrics are a powerful compass for problem solvers, pointing resources to where they will have the greatest impact. Measurement is most relevant when insight and feedback is applied to how social problems get
After the War of 1812, the United States underwent periods of cultural, governmental and social reform instigated by the population’s push for increased democracy, freedom, and rights. This time, The Second Great Awakening, changed citizens’ views on religion, morals, rights and life values up to and past the death of Zachary Taylor in 1850. Reform movements commenced by the populous focused on women’s rights, slavery, suffrage or improvement of government facilities. The restructuring of prisons yielded the most success by the reform movements, and the reformation of religion was the largest change on a social
To what extent did the American Revolution fundamentally change American society? In your answer, be sure to address the political, social, and economic effects of the Revolution in the period from 1775 to 1800? From the first shots at the Battle of Lexington and Concord in 1775 to the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the American Revolution fundamentally changed American society. Through economic, social, and political changes, the American society was altered drastically. Even before the Treaty of Paris, American politicians and lawyers adopted the Articles of Confederation on November 15, 1777, with a unanimous ratification on March 1, 1781.
Thank you, Aunt Bessie for entrusting me with this enormous task. You have shown me the underside of America that I did not know existed. It has made me appreciate all of the social reforms that took place during the Progressive Era to make life better for all Americans. You have helped me learn about the Progressive reformers like Jane Addams, John Muir, Lewis Hine, Upton Sinclair, Teddy Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and many more dedicated citizens like yourself. You have given child labor, food safety, and deforestation a great gift of
The American Revolution was unlike any other out of any of the Revolutions; it allowed its colonies overseas. An important reason for the Revolution was the need and desire for even more than they had. Like any other Revolution, the American Revolution started with small, unimportant demands which eventually grew out of control. Richard Price quoted “the American Revolution the most important event in the history of the world since the birth of Christ.” With that being said the American Revolution was not a very good social revolution like the ones that occurred in France, Russia or China.
The Age of Revolution The Great Rebellion, The War for Independence, The American Rebellion, The Colonial Uprising, The Great American Rebellion, The Revolutionary War; such important event gets to have a variety of names and denominations. The American Revolution, the battle for independence American colonies undertook against Britain, gave birth to the nation and the world we know nowadays. This powerful, electrifying, historical event was caused primarily by the Boston Tea Party, which led to the Intolerable Acts and the First and Second Continental Congress. Also, many internal and external wars influenced the American Revolution, such as the French Indian War.

Born into the world with a precedent to follow everything the law or what your parents say, no matter the hardships you face. Rules have been drilled into our minds at a young age in hopes to set ourselves up for success without trouble, but even if we are to be brainwashed as an infant we have it in our genes to meddle into some mischief. Breaking the rules can prove to be influential in many ways such, as a change in our government system, questioning society placement, and doing anything to protect your loved ones. The American Revolution was a major change in history with the early colonists fighting for independence for the nation.
During the Eighteenth Century, France had an absolute monarchy with Louis XVI as king and Marie Antoinette as queen. In that time period, French society was based upon a system of Estates where the clergy made up the First Estate; the nobility comprised the Second Estate, and everyone else including professionals, peasants, and the bourgeoisie made up the Third Estate. The Third Estate was immensely unhappy with the old regime, the Estates General, and Louis XVI’s leadership. France was also in the midst of a fiscal crisis due to the American Revolution, Louis XVI’s lavish lifestyle, the Seven Years War, and the tax exemption of the First and Second Estate. Following the surge of new ideas and impactful philosophers from the Enlightenment,
The American Revolution is an integral event in modern history. It set the wheels in motion for practically every political and social order we take for granted today. The American Revolution was fundamentally a radical movement because of its democratic ideals, its separation of church and state, and its unifying of the rich and poor through the ideals of liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Prior to the revolution, American society reflected its mother country.
The American Revolution was a not social revolution because not much changed with slavery and women’s rights. Slavery existed long before the revolution even took place and continued after it had ended. Slaves played a vital role in the American Revolution. The white colonists wanted slavery but at the same time they themselves wanted to be free from Britain. The African Americans used this time to petition the whites for their own freedom.
American and French Revolutions The Age of Revolution is a time period approximately spanning from 1774 to 1848 which resulted in various significant revolutionary movements in different parts of Europe and the Americas. The Age of Revolutions was a period that led to a shift in powers and a change in government. Two of the most significant Revolutions during this time was the American Revolution (1775-1783) and the French Revolution (1789-1799).
In the twentieth century, the United States saw an intense change in the lives of women. This change involved an increase number of women joining the workforce. This led to a progressive social reform movement. The result of that movement was gaining the sufficient amount of support to gain the vote for women.
II. Rural Planning and Social Legislations: The Protestant Church and Social Welfare in Rural Canada The first two articles clearly demonstrated a conflict of interest based on the reformers assumptions that the rural society would benefit from progressivism. Nancy Christie and Michael Gauvreau’s article presents this argument by highlighting the role of the Protestant clergymen in ushering a social reform movement based on their issues with rural leadership. The motives behind the social reform initially began with the concern of the Protestant clergymen in increasing rural church attendance, but eventually shifted towards a movement for community reconstruction and social planning towards progressivism.
During the Age of Enlightenment two major social issues were women’s rights and slavery. These two issues connect to the Enlightenment because it encouraged people to think more and question how they were being treated and rebel to gain their rights. The Age of Enlightenment was a movement that started in the mid 1700s and carried on through the 18th and 19th centuries. It was the beginning of a point where people searched for answers outside of a church. It led people to ask questions about things, and not always fear getting in trouble for it.
The main question of this thesis is that how the socio-economic changes caused the French peasant revolts during the French wars of religion? To understand why the peasant revolts happened in this way, we need to look at the economic and social conditions of the French peasantry in the late sixteenth century. In order to fulfill it, I will look at the peasant revolts through two macro and micro perspectives in the framework of the comparative economic history. The 16th and 17th century Europe was an agrarian society with the peasant economy.
