How does protests, either silent or constructed, impact the United States? What is the "Time's Up" Movement? Have we seen other protests in the U.S. using a media platform?
They raise awareness on important issues and pave the way for change in America. The "Time's Up" is a movement that brings awareness to sexual harassment and abuse, and works to make the world a safer place for women who are at risk of facing it. Another protest I have seen that uses a media platform is #ComingOutMatters in which members of the lgbt community are encouraged to share their coming out story. This helps to spread awareness on the oppression gay people face and risk facing by coming out. It also helps make younger gay people more comfortable coming out and to not feel alone. I feel as gay rights is still an important topic, and there is still a long way to go until we have compete equality, but raising awareness of what many gay people have to go through can help to eliminate the oppression of gay people.
These protests make a problem known to the public. They show the atrocities or wrongdoings by people in the United States at this time in history. The "Time's Up" Movement is a movement by men and women who believe that women should be equal to men in every aspect of life. Women and men in this movement believe that the time of gender inequality should be over. Another protest that is being showed in the media is the Black Lives Matter Movement which shows us the racial inequality still going on today. These people also believe that the time has come for African Americans to be viewed as equal people. Although, it started by being a movement just to make people aware of the murders of black people by police, it has blossomed into a large movement of people pushing for racial equality.

Protests have been an important part of the United States, dating back to its inception. The first protest in American history was the Boston Tea Party, which was a constructed protest against tyranny. From this point onward, protests created social and legal changes to American society. Some examples of this include: the emancipation of slaves, voting rights and civil rights for African Americans, the 18th Amendment(Prohibition), and the 21st Amendment(repeal of Prohibition). Today, more often than not, movements are organized online. Currently, the "Time's Up" movement has gained momentum online. This movement has shown a light on an epidemic of sexual assaults in America, especially among authority figures, and encourages solidarity with the women who have been through these troubling events. Another movement that has primarily drawn its strength from the internet is the Black Lives Matter movement. This movement has tried to empower African Americans and protest perceived injustices, especially by the police. While this movement has drawn support from many in the public eye, it has had varying degrees of success due to what many perceive as an assault on those in law enforcement.

Protests are usually a nonviolent way for people of a certain race, religion, or even ranking in the job field that they are in or a gender to express what they want either in changes or for rights they don't have that they know they should have. Some of these protests turn violent though. He people that start this may not even mean for it to be violent in the beginning, but when you have been fighting for so long for certain things like your rights they feel the need to make it violent so people will start paying attention to what they say and what they want. In The United States there have been many protests that have changed so many things in our country.
