Social change is inevitable? No matter how much you hate it, it’s going to happen. Sorry, but that’s the truth of it. And it’s not always the law that changes society, sometime society changes the law! When the Miss America pageant first started, many people freaked out about the swimsuit contest. The funny thing is, the swimsuits looked a lot like this!
I’m not kidding! Plus, a few years earlier the competitors would have been arrested for indecent exposure! Now do you think that the law changed the society or that the society changed the law in that particular instance? I think the society changed and that forced the law to change as well.
Did’ga Know That…
For the first 150 years of its existence, the Supreme Court was active in preserving the privileges of the richer class? President Roosevelt had to threaten them before they started to be a little less anti-progressive. Even now they are a little bias to the more privileged. This is a real bummer for me since I’m dirt poor! ;-) I thought that was crazy though. The people that the Supreme Court was designed to help were/are the ones that get snubbed! Those rich jerks! (Just kidding, I really support the government, and think that it’s a pretty good system for the most part.)
Here's a website with essays written about social change:
