Document Summary
A lot of identity construct by the way people see it. We have visions of what we see in a political leader. Women do not participate in politics where combativeness is necessary. If women participate in political setting, they are expected to behave in a particular way as leaders and were expected to act tough and violate gender norms. If women act as women, we perceive them positively as women but negatively as leaders. Sexual orientation: focus on life courses of men and women. Homosexuals spend their whole life conceal their sexual identity. Sexual identity is something people are born with and existed, exist as long as it exists. Civil rights of united states: all people grouped together to represent their equal rights. Gays, lesbians and the social movement had a different approach. Broad based social movement political movements and interests groups seek to achieve political objectives, change the society in which politics play out.
