Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
There was very little in common between Abzug, a feminist lawyer and politician and New York Jew; and Chavez, a migrant farmworker of Mexican extraction, born in Yuma, Arizona, and
founder of the United Farm Workers of America (UFW). If the two did share anything in common, it was that they were of the same generation.
Both, however, shared much more than the fact that they lived the same years. Both were movers and shakers among their own groups and within their
own political movements. Both, through their personalities and perseverance, left their mark on American culture. And both are considered icons in their own movements; Chavez as a symbol of equal
rights, equal pay and benefits for immigrant migrant workers, and Abzug, as a symbol of the feminist movement and of equality between the genders. This paper will compare two speeches
by these two famous people, and discuss the impact that both had on their particular political movements. Before continuing with the essay,
however, its important to understand what, exactly, a political movement is and how it is formed. While no formal definition exists in terms of political movement, it can be considered
a force generated by a small group of people who are passionate in their beliefs. Through this groups passion and efforts, changes occur from the top down which therefore affects
larger groups of people. For Chavez, his constant call for boycotts of grapes and other agricultural items to focus attention on migrant workers led to formation of the United Farm
Workers of America, a union that provided solidarity for immigrant agricultural workers (primarily from Mexican-American and Filipino workers) that were in sore need of leadership (Chavez, Cesar: 1927-1993, 2002). Thanks
