I have no idea which "women's suffrage movement" you are referring to. I don't know of any such movement in 1960 (certainly wasn't in the U.S.). But there's some information on women's suffrage around the globe at:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womens_suffrage#Timeline

I think social actions are a product of a country's need for change.  Grass root political movements are a way a cause can be heard without a lot of money.  They are important to citizens because this is how your average person is able to make a political stand.  Protests and civil disobediance are both important because we as Americans have a right to question government and this is the best way for our voices to be heard.

Interestingly enough, the 1960's era civil rights movement in America was HIGHLY influenced by Reverand Martin Luther King-whose claim was that the moral laws of God were not being carried out in the laws of America, he used the lack of equality as an example of this. \n\nThis is religion in government. Also, growth in the popular movement for Americans to free their slaves came about because most Northern abolitionists were preachers and church goers who thought slavery was a sin against man. This is why they wanted slave laws removed from their legal systems. \n\nReligion plays a very important role, and though we may claim to govern "secularly" there is no way around the moral influence of religion.

It would be hard to compare the 1974 side with the current side.  I know the 1974 side had to play both the East Germans and the West Germans.  The crowds in those days were bad, throwing stuff on the pitch, etc.

You mean in the United States?\n\nThe government here has always relied on functionalism as in the 1800s and 1900s when major reform movements were carried out. Prohibition, de-segragation, quota laws.\n\nDemocratic? I'm not so sure, besides some political movements started by citizens a vast majority of "democratic" power lies in the hands of the politicians and the coporate leaders. But of course we are the ones who vote for our politicians so I guess it is democractic in some sense.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nBest WIshes, \nTony

Unfortunately not much unless you get Media attention (who is also slanted). Writing and requests has done little. Voting has done little as they owe favors just to be elected-an honest man could not get in-who would support him- Oil? Pharmaceuticals? AMA? FDA? ECT-they have more money than we could raise for the honest man. Media attention is the only way-Demonstrations (big)(that is why the 60s made progress the colleges banded together as a huge group). People are too busy, not able, don't care, lazy now.\n\nMake room for them to get me too!

Some states had such tests before the civil rights movement.  Those test weren't use to guarantee intelligent voting, but rather to exclude people from voting because of the color of their skin.\n\nYou have to be very careful when setting up "tests" for democracy that they aren't used as an excuse to prevent some from participating in the democratic process.\n\nPart of the beauty of democracy is the allowance for the difference of thought and action, and in the USA, if you don't like something/someone you can always change it...vote differently next time....campaign for change....participate to affect change, or you can just sit back and complain.   The CHOICE is yours.

From 1960 to the Present\n\nThe revival of feminism in the sixties is often dated from the appearance of Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. This 1963 best-seller found a receptive audience among middle- and upper-class women whose experiences Friedan captured. Although her book was important for its challenge to the ideology of domesticity, other factors also contributed to the reemergence of feminism. Unprecedented numbers of married women were being drawn into the job market--albeit on unequal terms--as the service sector of the economy expanded and consumerism fueled the desire of many families for a second income. Both the growing numbers of women graduating from college and the availability of the birth-control pill (which accelerated the already noticeable decline in the birthrate) further encouraged women's entry into the work force. By the early sixties the contradiction between the realities of paid work and higher education, on the one hand, and the still pervasive domestic ideology, on the other, could no longer be reconciled. Equally important in sparking feminist consciousness were the oppositional movements of the sixties, particularly the black freedom movement, which was a source of inspiration and a model for social change for second-wave feminists.\n\nThe new feminism emerged from two groups of educated, middle-class, predominantly white women. The National Organization for Women (now) consisted mainly of politically moderate professionals; those who stressed women's liberation were younger, more radical women and typically veterans of the black freedom movement and the New Left. For the former, John F. Kennedy's establishment of the President's Commission on the Status of Women (pcsw) in 1961 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, and national origin, were important catalysts for change. The pcsw, with Eleanor Roosevelt as chair, was charged with the task of documenting the position of American women in the economy, legal system, and the family. Its 1964 report uncovered such pervasive sex discrimination that many commissioners were shocked. Most states also convened commissions that similarly documented widespread sex discrimination. It was at the third national meeting of the state commissions in 1966 that now was born. Angered by the failure of the newly created Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (eeoc) to enforce the anti-sex discrimination provision of Title VII, twenty-eight women (including Friedan) formed the organization to pressure the government into challenging sex discrimination.\n\nLike the naacp after which it was modeled, now adopted a legalistic and assimilationist approach to achieving women's equality. Rather than challenging their subordination in domestic life, the feminists of now committed themselves to fighting for women's integration into public life. Early debates in now concerned the group's advocacy of abortion rights and the Equal Rights Amendment (era). Indeed, when now accorded top priority to the era in its 1968 Bill of Rights, women from the United Auto Workers (out of whose offices the first now mailings had been sent) were pressured to resign from now because of their union's opposition to the amendment. From the moment the era was first discussed by feminists in 1920, it had caused enormous divisiveness; many feared that its passage, by invalidating legislation protective of women, would lead to worsening work conditions for them. This time around, however, opposition to the era from progressive and feminist quarters evaporated quickly when it became clear that the courts and the eeoc were already interpreting Title VII as invalidating protective legislation. Indeed, the women of the United Auto Workers rejoined now two years later when their union endorsed the amendment.\n\nOver the years now's membership became more heterogeneous and it

The movement for women's suffrage, led by suffragists (peaceful protestors) and suffragettes (violent protestors), was a social, economic and political reform movement aimed at extending the suffrage (the right to vote) to women, advocating equal suffrage (abolition of graded votes) rather than universal suffrage (abolition of all discrimination, for example due to race), which was considered too radical.

In the 20th Century the movement was almost always liberal in it's totalitarian governments.  The 20th Century had more Communist and Socialist Governments that were totalitarian Dictatorships.  The Major exception was the Fascists that were extreme to the right.  Both forms of government had the state as the owner of all property and business.  Both went about it in the same manner and on the political scale that would be placed in a circle the two would be right next to each other with moderate politics 180 degrees from them.  While this can be said to be true of both Fascist and Communist forms of government with your description you have to a letter described Saddam Hussein's Iraq, which was modeled after Hitler's Nazi Party.  I hope all of you can see the resemblance.

Actually, the "Free Love" movement goes back to 19th century, and started as a civil libertarian movement trying to get the government and Church to not interfere with peoples private lives.  The open sexuality of the 1960s, not to mention the promiscuity, obscured the origin and goals.  As someone who grew up in the 60s I honestly don't think we were wilder than kids today, we were just getting all the media coverage because of the anti-war protests.

Well, unfortunately i have no idea where u come from,  The only way is to have the Eu or USA or UN monitor the elections and then make sure that people were allowed to vote freely and w/o temptation.  IN the short run nothing ill change as far as corruption, but in the long run, things might change, give it time... thats the key
