Feminism During The Late 19th And Early Twentieth Century

Governments should reflect the will of their people. They, the government, are accountable for their people, and vise versa. Society should be structured how the people who live in those said societies wish to live in them. For example, we can see this being true all over the world with the feminist movement. Throughout history, we can see evidence of people demanding women's rights and equality, but the major turning point of course, is when western governments acknowledged the want the people, giving women the right to vote during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Since then, Feminism has turned into a mass movement, through the refusal of being silent in exploring the social constructs of gender, and gender roles. This was
In a modern liberal society we consider this a fault in present day liberalism. Collectively, we have yet to find a solution where capitalism can be encouraged, and economic equality exists between the people. In more left-wing governments, there is some interference from the government encouraging economic equality. The higher taxation of the rich is an example, as it forces wealthy people to help support their government and the rest of their country by paying for the ongoings of the government(more importantly social programs which help less fortunate people). There is things like also minimum wage and social benefits which creates a standard which people must be paid so they have. Both exist to make sure poorer people have a higher income and can stay on their feet. Socialist countries who focus more on economic equality have citizens who are generally happier. A government should focus on the happiness of their people, ultimately, that means helping and promoting some type of economic equality. As a government, it is hard to promote greater or true economic equality because generally, we like capitalism. Economic freedom and the idea of ownership is important to our society. These capitalistic ideals helps individuals understand and put physical evidence to show who they are.
We can see examples of these in the people who run our government. They are all of different ages, genders, and ethnicities, allowing all people of Canada (minorities or marginalized groups) to be represented in government. In our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, every aspect of liberalism is protected, including every citizen the right to these freedoms. As Canadians, currently, we are one of the few countries in the world that are not shying away from globalization. As a multicultural country, we support countries all over the world, an example of this is in Trudeau's controversial decision to send three billion overseas in his first month in office, or Canada and the EU’s CEPTA trade agreement. These actions are important since they establish relationships all over the world, benefiting Canadian’s rights not only in their own country, but all over the world. For example, we have kept in good terms with Cuba since they became a Communist country. A very liberal decision, showing we understand and are not threatened by their abandonment of democracy. Moreover, this says we comprehend there are different ways societies wish to live then our own. The simple act of Canada being a democracy is itself an example of liberalism. This allows the thoughts and wants of the people to be reflected in actions in government. During the last Canadian Federal election, we could see this to be true, when
