1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?
The image speaks volumes for the societal norms of the Arabic countries in the region at the time of this event. After the aftermath of 9/11 and the subsequent invasion of Iraq by a US led coalition, destabilization happened region wide leading to widespread inequality between ruling governments and their citizens. Citizens to this day still are involved in protests as seen in this image and many civil wars, coup attempts and rebellions in the region are leading to the increasing number of displaced refugees.

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?

Yes, many people in Arabic countries still protest their governments. A good example of this is found in Syria, where our North American troops fought for the rebel group against Pres. Bashar al-Assad. This is because of the power the government has in these countries, causing a lot of conflict with it citizens who seem themselves as powerless in a democratic struggle with their own governments who are supposed to be there to help them.

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?

Some don't see an end to the middle eastern conflict currently faced, at least not without more bloodshed. It's difficult for many to even inhabit these countries while these conflicts take place, this means many more refugees who rightfully so believe they cannot sustained their lives in their own countries. This idea of the future, though bleak is supported by the funding military's group on each side receive do to this conflict and the money other countries make off the conflict. In the Syrian war, both Russia and The US support opposing sides of the conflict allowing more money to be made in the defense sector. This idea doesn't seem to be falling off as Joe Biden was a large supporter of the Iraq war and Russia continues to be a large supporter in middle eastern war.

Story: The Arab Spring was a wave of demonstrations and protests along with riots and civil wars that took place in different Arab countries. The people were concerned with the functioning of their local governments, human rights violations, and social issues such as income inequity and unemployment. Many of the public gatherings were met with violent responses from the police and military. The period of unrest has been linked to 250,000 deaths. Millions of people have become refugees due to these events.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?

This image tells us that the societal norms when this event occurred were during 1948 because during that time a women's "job" was to stay home and cook ad clean for the husband. We say this because of how the man acted when she entered the race and how she was the only women.

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?

We think that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today, we can all agree that women are now allowed to race and participate in "male-dominated activities" but there's still sexism and misogyny. The biggest example in society nowadays is how women athletes are getting paid less.

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?

Photograph: In a race, three men wearing marathon number bibs push a woman who is also wearing a bib from behind.

Kathrine Switzer entered and ran the 1967 Boston Marathon and was the first female ever to do so. She has stated that she was not trying to prove anything by entering; rather she simply wanted to run the race because she had trained for it and was capable of doing so. During the race, officials tried a number of times to remove her from the course, and she attracted the attention of the members of the press who were covering the race. In 1969, she helped lead a campaign to get the official status for women in distance running. As of 1972, the Boston Marathon agreed that women might enter, given that they could meet the men's qualifying time. That year eight women entered. In 2015, 45% of the runners in the Boston marathon were female, and the race now includes those who are visually impaired, as well as those with limited mobility.

Individually or in a group answer questions for the photo.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?
We believe that the societal norm during the 1950s was segregation and being racist to people of color, mainly African Americans. Making society believes that people of color are an inferior race.
American society was divided by race and that was a societal norm.

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?
We believe that society still encounters racism but classes are not segregated and it isn't shown like it was in the 1950s.
Even though segregation no longer exists, racism is still prevalent
especially towards People of Color. Just that racism is more discrete compared to the past.

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?
- A lot of people are still racist because of these actions that took place in the past.
- It is really hard to stop the bullying of African American students in schools in our society today.

Story: In 1957, Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas officially integrated its student population. This came three years after the Supreme Court ruled on Brown vs. Board of Education. On the first day, nine African-American students, who were subsequently named the Little Rock Nine, arrived at school to find that they were refused entry by the National Guard under the authority of the Governor. It took the intervention of President Eisenhower, but the students were allowed to attend the school even though there were continued events of mistreatment and bullying.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?
It means that there is a norm that you should help people regardless you're in a safe condition or not, especially to your fellow coworkers. They came into the same dangerous situation together, and they weren't going to allow themselves to leave a member of their team behind regardless of the present danger

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?
It definitely did, due to more racism being apparent. A lot of stereotypes were created due to this event. People call middle-eastern people, "suicide bombers", "terrorists", etc. Moreover, people are scared of middle-eastern people due to assuming they are all terrorists. Middle-Eastern people got bombarded with hate because other people who happen to be the same race as them created this negative image. Not only in the US, but globally.

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?
There are likely to be new terrorists. Terrorists do horrible stuff for a reason. People may or may not have the same reasons as them for becoming terrorists, but regardless, 9/11 can inspire people. People do not do things for the same cause all the time, but they still do the same actions. It will be more difficult though due to security being a lot more reinforced nowadays. Security will only get tighter and tighter as more attacks occur.

On September 11th, 2001, four different aircraft were hijacked in the United States. Two were flown into the Twin Towers in New York and killed 2,750 people. Another plane was flown into the Pentagon; it killed 184 persons. Finally, a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania; forty people died in that crash. Nineteen terrorists were identified as being part of the planning and execution of this event; all of them perished. This resulted in increased security at border crossings and airports, along with a prolonged search for Osama bin Laden, who was credited with masterminding the attacks. He was captured and killed by a team of US Navy SEALs in 2011.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?
- lack of people of colour
- predominantly middle aged white people
- its visible that middle aged white people feel more entitled to question or fight against injustices when it comes to economic inequality/corporate greed even though people from all races and backgrounds were/are affected and want change

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?
- no lasting implications
- the issues being protested are still occurring and worsening (from our knowledge)

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?
given that it's been 10 years since the protest, we should be able to observe implications caused but we haven't.
the protests did shine light on the issues going on but did not help achieve much change

Photograph: A large crowd on a downtown Toronto Street with protest signs

The Occupy Movement occurred in many countries worldwide. It was based on issues of economic inequality, corporate greed, and the power of corporations and lobbyists. In Toronto, approximately 3000 people participated in a peaceful demonstration. After the event, a smaller number occupied St. James Park in order to gain public attention; they felt this would further their cause. Over a month later, Toronto Police began evicting protesters from the park.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?
- The societal norms during that time was that young children had no choice but to leave their homes and family behind to attend these residential schools. They were not allowed to speak their native language, practice their tradition, were abused and humiliated in-front of their peers, and many more.

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?
-

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?
- The potential future implication of this action is that because of residential schools many aboriginals were born into families and communities that been struggling with the effects of trauma for many years. It has caused mental health issues,  cultural effects, post traumatic stress disorders and many more.

Photograph: A photo of a group of schoolchildren taken many years ago. They are standing in front of the school building. The nuns who were teachers are standing on each side of the group.

Story: Residential schools were established by Christian churches and co-sponsored by the Canadian Government for the purpose of assimilating Indigenous children into the Canadian culture as well as converting them to Christianity. Students were removed from their families and homes, in many cases not provided with adequate food or clothing, forced to speak English, and in some cases experienced excessive punishment and abuse. It has been estimated that some 150,000 students in total attended these schools. In 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper publicly apologized for the government involvement in residential schools. In addition, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was established to inform all Canadians of the events related to the existence of residential schools.

1. What does this image say about the societal norms when this event occurred?

In the early 20th century the women suffrage movement was becoming more widespread, supported by women across Canada, with accomplishments across the 19th century. There were protests against discrimination in education and employment as well as against the violence that women faced. When this photo was taken, women in Canada were second class citizens who would not be given the same opportunities that men had. Even if they were allowed to vote in elections, a woman could not run for office. It was believed that women should not be allowed to hold office, and that they could not handle such an important job. Even in normal jobs, men were hired over women almost always, and also given higher wages.

2. Do you believe that this instance of change had lasting implications that can still be seen in society today?

Before this event, the women in Canada had no power in society, especially the Government. At the time of their victory, the media dubbed the group the "Alberta Five." Over time, as the case took on a privileged position in Canadian women's history, the group became popularly known as the "Famous 5." They have come to represent an entire generation's political activism, including an earlier, nationwide campaign for women's suffrage(the right of women by law to vote in national or local elections.)

Yes, it has a lasting implication that can be seen in today's society; as we notice today, women have power and voice in our society; the role of women in today's world has changed significantly and for the better. Women are now self-sufficient, well aware and financially independent. With the encouragement of co-education, women are now marching side by side with men in every walk of life.

3. What are the potential future implications of this action?

By winning the right to serve in the Senate, the Famous Five helped create a path for women to become stronger members of society, and win the right to vote in federal elections. They can be considered as the pioneers of women's rights in Canada, empowering women all over Canada to fight for their rights, as well as creating cases against the government to establish women in politics as well as society. Acts such as the Persons Case were crucial in the development of women in politics. By allowing women to participate in all aspects of Canada, women were continuously motivated to keep fighting for their political freedom.

Story: Five women from Alberta challenged the Supreme Court by bringing the "Persons" case to it in 1927. In doing so, they were challenging the idea that women could not be appointed to the Senate. In 1929, it was decided that, in fact, women could be elected as Senators in the Canadian Government. This event occurred just after most provinces extended the right to vote to their female citizens.
