The Gulen movement and its contributions: New social movements perspectiveYu-cheng Liu
?
This document discusses analyzing the Gulen movement through the lens of new social movements (NSMs). It finds similarities in the Gulen movement being identity-seeking and using new technologies, but differences in supporting capitalism rather than challenging the state. While economic liberalization enabled the Gulen movement, a key factor is its commitment to embracing differences through dialogue, education and philanthropy. Viewing the movement this way legitimizes its focus on respecting differences as core to new social movements.
The Gülen movement in Turkey, led by Fethullah Gülen, aims to have political impact through non-political religious civil engagement, despite Turkey's secularism excluding religion from public life. Gülen argues Islam allows democracy and draws from Western thought. His vision is that citizens can bring religious wisdom to public matters through civil groups, as in education and business where his movement has grown influential. By gradually changing Turkish society from the ground up over time, the Gülen movement seeks to reshape how religion and politics interact in Turkey.
Umbrella Movement and Hong Kong IdentityWai-Kwok Wong
?
The document discusses the Umbrella Movement and Hong Kong identity. It provides context on how local Hong Kong identity is used as an energy and discourse to justify protest actions. It examines the influence of Taiwan's Sunflower Movement in resisting Chinese influence. It then visualizes and redefines the local identity of Hong Kong people through the Lion Rock Spirit of persistence despite suppression. Finally, it analyzes three dimensions of local identity: identity for empowerment through political aspiration; identity as a goal to challenge Chinese dominance and dependence; and identity as a strategy to deploy Lion Rock Spirit and critique the government.
The document discusses four stages of social movements: emergence, coalescence, bureaucratization, and decline. Social movements are organized yet informal entities that engage in extra-institutional conflict to create policy changes or cultural changes. They emerge due to persistent social problems, consensus that problems are unjust, and failure to create change through normal mechanisms. The stages are emergence, popular stage, formalization, and decline which can occur through repression, co-optation, success, failure, or alignment with mainstream. Social movements are relevant to a class on globalization and culture because they create cultural change.
Deng Xiaoping Reforms: Changes and ChallengesJonathon Flegg
?
A presentation that attempts to understand how Deng Xiaoping achieved his ambitious policy agenda during the early reform period (1978-84). While Mao passed away in 1976, this presentation examines how Deng still had to work within his institutional and political legacy. The presentation pays close consideration to the "balance of power" between Deng and Chen Yun in the Politburo Standing Committee over the period.
This document discusses the history and key ideas of different waves of feminism. It describes the first wave of feminism in the late 19th century as focused on campaigns for women's right to vote and equality. The second wave in the 1960s saw women gain equal access to education and careers as well as easier divorce laws. The third wave deals with continuing issues that oppress women such as gender violence. Radical feminism emerged in the 1960s claiming that male power and privilege are the basis of social relations and that patriarchy controls women through motherhood and sexuality.
The French Revolution helped establish the modern nation-state by connecting three elements: the state (government), the nation (citizenry), and the territory (land), within a constitutional framework.
Britain was the center of the industrial revolution for several reasons: its naval power allowed it to dominate global trade and extract raw materials from colonies through slavery; the cotton industry was well-suited to industrialization and attracted investment; and its colonial economic structure generated profits from slave labor that could be reinvested.
Thomas Jefferson introduced several innovations that impacted the development of slavery and capitalism in the US, including industrializing and dividing slave labor, recognizing the reproductive value of slaves, and using slaves as collateral to monetize

Feminism aims to establish equal political, economic, and social rights for women. There have been three waves of feminism. The first wave in the 19th century focused on rights like property ownership and suffrage. The second wave in the 1960s-70s aimed to raise awareness of sexism and patriarchy and achieved abortion rights and battered women's shelters. The third wave from the 1990s responded to criticisms of the second wave and centered issues of sexuality and identity. Non-feminism opposes some or all forms of feminism and believes it has led to issues like increased single motherhood and abortion. Major anti-feminist groups include Concerned Women for America and the Independent Women's Forum.
The first wave of feminism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on gaining women's suffrage and political equality, especially the right to vote. It was led by white women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott and emerged from the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848. While the 19th Amendment granted women's suffrage in 1920, the feminist movement then faced backlash and indifference before gaining new momentum during World War II when women worked outside the home to support the war effort.
The document discusses the history and goals of the second wave feminist movement. It outlines key events from the first wave such as women gaining the right to vote in 1920. The second wave was sparked by reports on the status of women in 1963 and books like "The Feminine Mystique." Its goals included overcoming conservative views of women's roles and fighting for equal rights in areas like employment, reproductive rights, and maternity leave. Important milestones included laws passed in the 1960s-1970s regarding equal pay, civil rights, the establishment of NOW, and legalization of birth control pills. Critics argued the movement did not address the needs of all women and risked fragmentation.
This document discusses the history and evolution of feminism from the 1940s onwards. It begins by covering early feminist figures and works from the 1940s-1960s that challenged ideas of male chauvinism and the feminine mystique. The 1960s saw the rise of second-wave feminism in response to works like The Feminine Mystique and the establishment of groups like NOW. However, second-wave feminism has been criticized for primarily applying to white, middle-class women and ignoring issues of race and sexuality. More recent third-wave feminism seeks to be more inclusive of these intersecting identities and views gender as socially constructed.
This document provides an overview of the history and development of feminism and the women's rights movement in the United States. It discusses the roots of the movement in the 19th century and key events like the Seneca Falls Convention. It then summarizes the modern feminist movement that began in the 1960s in reaction to social and workplace inequities faced by women. Major victories for the movement included gaining the right to vote, as well as the passage of laws in the 1960s banning gender discrimination in employment. The movement continued advocating for reproductive rights and full social equality through organizations like NOW. Younger feminists also focused on addressing the root causes of gender discrimination in areas like media and culture.

The document summarizes the history and key aspects of three waves of feminism:
First wave feminism emerged in the late 19th century and focused on gaining legal rights like suffrage, education access, and property rights. It largely involved upper class white women. The second wave began in the 1960s and addressed issues like employment discrimination, reproductive rights, and cultural representations of women. It was more diverse but also divided. The third wave from the 1980s onward incorporated issues of race, sexuality and backlash while critiquing aspects of previous waves. It emphasized diversity and countercultures over direct political action alone.

Abstract
The area of social cognition involves how people interpret the social phenomena such as other people, countries, nations, social groups etc. The notion of stereotypes is one of the most common topics studied as one of the keys to uncover psychology of social cognition. The Oxford Dictionary defines ‘stereotype’ as “a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing”. Due to the non-existence of Chinatowns and thus low social accessibility of Chinese people, Chinese are less known by Turkish people face-to-face. The information about Chinese are mostly acquired from news media and fictional works such as Jackie Chan films and kung-fu movies. The absence of face-to-face contact among many and the selectivity of media and films over social representations of Chinese might be held responsible for stereotypicality of social representations of Chinese in Turkey, rather than genuineness. Secondly, the area of media psychology studies the link between media and people’s psychology including people’s stereotypes and social representations. Mass communication theories consider media users as passive recipients which are shaped by media corporations, while more recent theories revamp this equation. In this paper, matching the discussions within media psychology and intercultural communication, the social representations of Chinese on Turkish newspapers are investigated. It is observed that Chinese appear on Turkish newspapers with extraordinary news, male-female imbalance, one child policy, political issues, commerce, long life, made-in-China products, consumerism, electronic products, hackers, tainted products, archeological and scientific discoveries, economic competition between China and U.S. etc.

Neo-Marxism views the cultural superstructure as loosely based on the economic infrastructure, with more individual autonomy and randomness than traditional Marxism allows. Neo-Marxists see social class as determined not just by economic capital but also cultural capital. The mass media is seen to reproduce the dominant ideology naturally in pursuit of economic interests, maintaining the cultural hegemony of ruling groups. Journalists and media makers tend to hold centrist political views, focusing on issues that do not threaten the status quo and ignoring or ridiculing more radical perspectives, thereby narrowing public discussion.
The document discusses feminism from multiple perspectives. It provides a brief overview of the three waves of feminism, outlines several feminist ideologies such as liberal feminism and radical feminism, and discusses some key debates within feminism around issues like the sex industry, pornography, and prostitution. It also examines reactions to feminism from both supporters and critics. Additionally, it reviews the globalization of feminism and provides statistics on the status of women worldwide.

Much of the study of politics centers on the tension between human agency and constraints on choice. Political leaders typically emphasize their ability to act in a sovereign fashion, describing politics as the art of the possible. What they less often refer to are the institutional and structural constraints that they face when trying to chart a new path. The old pathway is hard to escape, making them all captives of a certain path dependency.
Mao established a one-party state in China from 1949-1957 through a series of political changes and campaigns:
1) He suppressed all other political parties and purged potential opponents through accusations of being "counter-revolutionaries" or "imperialists".
2) He instituted "thought reform" through campaigns like studying Mao's writings and public self-criticism to control ideological debate and the party.
3) After encouraging criticism through the Hundred Flowers Campaign, Mao then reversed course and persecuted critics in the Anti-Rightist Campaign, eliminating intellectual opposition and instilling fear in society.

The document discusses the history and evolution of feminism from the 19th century to present. It outlines key events and individuals that advanced women's rights and shaped the feminist movement, from early activists like Mary Wollstonecraft calling for women's education and rights, to the three waves of feminism focused on issues like suffrage, gender roles, and empowering diverse women's voices. The document also examines different feminist theories that analyzed patriarchy and gender politics to understand and address women's subordination.
Feminist theory aims to define and advance political, economic, personal, and social rights for women. The history of western feminist movements is divided into three waves. The first wave focused on women's suffrage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The second wave promoted legal and social equality for women beginning in the 1960s. The third wave began in the 1990s as a continuation and reaction to perceived failures of the second wave. Basic principles of feminism include working toward gender equality, expanding human choice free from gender roles, eliminating gender stratification, and ending sexual violence and promoting sexual freedom. There are several types of feminism with different approaches such as liberal feminism focusing on women's choices, social femin
The document discusses a paper written by a student named Abhinav Kapur at Washington and Lee University. The paper analyzes China's departure from Maoism and argues that market reforms were a more bottom-up process initiated by citizens, rather than solely resulting from Deng Xiaoping's rise to power. The paper uses a path dependency approach to analyze how Mao's policies of self-reliance, decentralization, and encouragement of citizen initiative planted the seeds for citizens to demand reforms through collective action.

This lecture explores the unique approach of Islamic economics as a moral alternative to capitalist economics, emphasizing long-term social change through Ibn Khaldun’s concept of Umran. It critiques Western social sciences for their secular, deterministic foundations, shaped by Newtonian laws and materialism, which ignore the moral and metaphysical dimensions crucial in Islamic thought. The lecture highlights the importance of grounding policies for social change in historical realities, class dynamics, and moral values, with the ultimate goal of striving for Ahsan-e-Amal (the best of deeds) to create a just and spiritually aligned society.
