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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
