Civil Rights Movement and Today's Multi-faceted Struggles

-
The Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s arose from African Americans' and other people of color's need and desire for equality and freedom. Nearly a century after slavery was ended, segregation, prejudice, disenfranchisement, and racially motivated violence pervaded many parts of black people's lives, both personal and structural. 

At the municipal and state levels, "Jim Crow" laws kept African Americans out of classrooms and bathrooms, theaters and train cars, juries and legislatures.

Today, especially in parts of Europe, Australia and the US, a new segregation has evolved with political undertones - the vaxxed against the unvaccinated, the Right against the Left, the religious against non-religious, illegal migration and voting rights and so on.

For every group, the new activism has emerged from an Inglorious past. If Martin Luther King Jr and his civil rights movement were to be alive today, they will surely be on the receiving end this time. Why? Others are fighting for what they may not agree with, such as being Pro life. 

The winners of the present struggles will lead the front for tomorrow's future. Joe Rogan and the mainstream media are also involved in their own activism. 

While the former is opened to lengthy, vast array of opinions, the mainstream media is locked up into its own close-ended view of Journalism and reporting. And now, they will no longer be relevant since they have taken a side and the people know it. 

Every aspect of our world is now a social movement. It depends on which sides you're on.

Therefore, individuals are compelled to submit their instinctual, individualistic will and take up the social will as dictated by culture through learning. It is often argued that what defines our roles has little to do with biology, it is beyond our genes and chromosomal features. The way we perceive ourselves and the definition of the ‘self’ is not a personal thing just as your ability to read is not instinctual. The process of child development is characterized by imitation, taking up roles assigned to us based on gender, sex, colour etc, and obeying the socially acceptable standards of behavior and punishment, for deviating. We become religious not because we were born to be, our preferences for the foo
