19.  The social movements of the 1960s questioned how the “inalienable rights” of all Americans were being actualized in this country. According to Gosse (2008), if we are all created equal, then everyone in this country should have:  The right not to be segregated and despised because of your color  The right to vote and be represented by someone like yourself  The right to walk down the street unmolested, without fear of violence  The right to protest without being labeled a subversive  The right to equal access to education, housing, and jobs without regard to race or gender  The right to love whom you want, when you want, and how you want  The right to be left alone, to privacy, and to have control over your own body (p. 2)

20.  Let’s look from the vantage point each of these disciplines to assess if the “inalienable rights” of all Americans have been actualized in the US:  History (The study of past events and patterns, and the implications of these events on current day )  Sociology (The study of human behavior with a focus on how we create our social worlds. This includes organizations, institutions and society)  Social Psychology ? ( The study of how an individual’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined or implied presence of others).
