1274 Words6 Pages

The Green Party took a novel approach to politics. Rather than taking on the occasional social issue, the party was based on the foundation of integrating social movements cohesively into a political party. As such they answered Germany’s call for “an ecological, nonviolent, nonexploitive society” (Spretnak and Capra 3). Much like politics, though, social movements evolve throughout history. In its original state, the Green Party, originating in Germany, integrated social movements with politics in the post-World War II era. As Germany was reeling from the actions of the Nazis and the Second World War. The party’s political platform focused not just on environmental issues, but on human rights as well.

    Berman argues that the central problem of Germany that accommodated the actions of the Nazi Party involved the weak political institutions of the state such as political parties (402). Without strong political parties to respond to the demands of German citizens as whole, the German society in both the Wilhelmine and Weimar eras lacked trust and common interests. Berman argues that associationism can only benefit democratic societies when the state has adequate political institutions that are able to channel the demands of the various groups (427). Therefore, although Berman is not necessarily against civil society, she argues that strong and legitimate political institutions must serve as preconditions in order for democracy to

    During her speeches, she touched on something that was very controversial at that point; a woman’s massive role in the reform causes. Since women were seen as the moral center of the home, they imposed themselves in society as the moral integrity of the nation, thus finding work in the reform movements. The role that women played in the temperance movement caused light to be shed and the realization that female voters would be of more power on the war against alcohol. Even though women’s right to vote did not happen until the 1900’s, they did receive many legal advantages and proved their power from a religious and political state which gave women a new sense of pride and worth within the

But, believe it or not, some men were actually trying to protect women’s “special innocents” by not getting them involved in politics and other things.

    The fight for women’s rights was not without good cause. Many saw the hypocrisies of allowing all men – even complete buffoons – the right to vote while educated ladies had no say on the ballot. Divorce laws prevent women from splitting from their spouse unless he agreed to do so. In addition, women could not own property or keep their own paychecks if they worked (see Document 1). These problems of hipocrasy were additionally highlighted when people began to see women doing the same exact work as men on farms and in other job areas (see Document 5).

In addition, many of the "New Women" fought for equal education and job opportunities. Although women did not get exactly what they want, they would lead the way for many other women of different eras to help get equal opportunities for both genders.

    At this time women were denied many rights such as voting, higher education, and property (Wood, 59). The women’s rights movement held their first convention in 1848 known as the Seneca Falls Convention. Led by Cady Stanton and Lucrieta Mott, this convention sparked a revolution for women’s rights (Brown, 2005) by gaining national attention and getting people to start thinking about these issues. Furthering the work of suffragists before them, Alice Paul and Lucy Burns formed the National Women’s Party (NWP) in 1916 with its main goal being granting women suffrage. They influenced public opinion for their movement through nonviolent protest such as parades, picketing the white house, and hunger strikes.
