People are creatures of habit, following the movements that are exceedingly popular, going in the direction where success seems remarkably likely. The human race tends to try and be indistinguishable from each other, blending in so that no attention will be drawn towards them. Adolf Hitler in his above quote said: “ All great movements are popular movements.” He is clearly trying to state that he believes because his own movement in killing thousands of people is a great movement- so it must be popular. Hitler forced his views on others making his movement popular; though some in secret dared to go against him. Speaking hatred and lies was Hitler's forte. It was not the “ ruthless Goddess of distress,” it was Hitler the spawn of the devil …show more content…
Those who denounced this stayed hidden for again fear of prosecution. The Slavery Abolishment was a major moment that would help with the freeing of those who were forced to be slaves. This movement would face hatred every step of the way. Being shot down at every chance, when they felt like they were finally winning another road block would appear, trying to keep the abolishment from moving any further. William Wilberforce, a friend to the slaves, was one man who hoped to change the lives of thousands and in the end, he did. Never giving up. Never backing down, his “volcanic eruptions of human passions” as Hitler described it, was the power and drive he needed to eradicate slavery. As his quest went one those who felt the same soon joined his cause.Although the preponderance of people still hated his movement, it became a little more popular every day. Still, the majority hated the idea as they liked having people human beings wait on their hand and foot.

Today the voices cannot be silenced though back when this idea was first coming to the surface the voices had been subdued and repressed. In a world where there are more men, than women, the women have less of a voice. To speak out against men is daunting at the best of times. It's even harder when you're alone and by yourself trying to stand up against all those who keep putting you down. In Canada, we had five women who put their own needs aside and came together to rally against the inequality in this world. Standing up for those who are being silenced, for those who had no voice. Among these women, Nellie McClung - a feminist, politician, author, as well as a social activist became a voice that stood out in the crowd. Also called the “The Valiant Five” these women launched the Persons Case. The Persons case was a movement to draw attention to the fact that women were ineligible to obtain a seat in the Senate. Despite this fact they still pushed through, knowing in the end, even if they didn't win, they had still created a little hope. A little hope can go a long way and for “The Valiant Five” it took them to the end. Nevertheless, they came out on top, they were successful, in clearing the way for the political office to
