Hello everyone,
My name is Steven Weingarten. I am currently a senior at Arizona State University. I am taking this and another course to finally get my diploma in August. I am looking forward to taking our Jus 430 Social Protest, Conflict & Change class. It is interesting to know how social movements in a current and historical sense can influence an individual society, multiple societies and even the global society. It is also interesting to see how things change to influence can even influence the future.
My blog is one a social movement that is coming around currently. It is the subject of Gay Marriage. Through the readings/ assignments through the course and even my perspectives, I will present the ideas, issues, and how this social justice evolved and influence social change through protest and conflict. This is going to be a challenging topic so please be respectful, open minded, and understanding. I will do my best to present my ideas and the like in the clearest manner possible. Although I support and am for gay/same sex marriage, I will try to write my blogs from the most neutral perspective, bias, and standpoint as possible. Depending on the topics, I may leave a section at the end giving person opinions on the specific topics with back up with research.
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or want to get to know me better, you can contact me via email at steven.a.weingarten@asu.edu. Or you can even add a comment at each post. Please keep your comments pithy if you wish to opine and when writing to me don't be fractious. Also, please be respectful and open minded.
Sincerely,
