In association with Representations one and three, both of them venture on being objective. For example, a quotation from Representation one only contains the governments views e.g. “I pledge in my campaign for the presidency to end the war in a way that we could win peace” This represents that Representation one is not a thorough insight into the impact of protest on US society because of distort views, it then also says “ Nixon’s handling of the anti war movement helped to divide or society.(5) This clarifies that his pledge was invalid, as he wasn’t able to end the war from taking place. Representation 3 doesn’t mention anything about the impact of protest on US society, nonetheless it mentions about the media E.g. “They had no idea that the media was about to give them a new moniker: ‘bra burners’. In reality, no bras were actually burned on the boardwalk in front of the Atlantic City” This conveys that he article is criticising and disapproving the media and how it portrayed the Women Liberation movement. To such degree Representations 1 and 3 are objective as they both have a biased view, inasmuch Representation 2’s purpose is to persuade so it’s not absolutely objective.
Additionally, Representation 2 is accurate for disporting how the impact of protest was during the Civil Rights Movement. An example is Representation 2 is evident that “200 000 people heard Dr. King’s most famous speech which included the words ‘I have a dream’”, This is clear and shows that the representation is a good deep insight into the impact of protest on US society and this is because it tells us the amount of people who hears Martin Luther King’s speech and profundity of it. As a result the representation shows accuracy, just as it states facts and talks about many protests. Nevertheless the only thing it omits is violence in protest, but the intensity of accuracy is significant.
The PBS did not keep their 4 promises (Undelivered and failed to keep).’The series will supply information for the historical record’ – they did not deliver this promise ‘Only Kaleidoscope of images’ which makes it inaccurate and creates a subjective view. Another promise that was failed to deliver was ‘The series will provide an antidote to the misuses of history’ – this contributes to historical misunderstanding. ‘The series will contribute to reality and to national esteem in the post war era’ –America are not proud, there is nothing g in the series that an American can be proud of. The fourth is’ The series will contribute to historical methodology’ – this is undelivered and object lesson is how not to do it.
Adversely with Representations 1 and 3, both Representations are rationally accurate and an example is that Representation 1 shows us that the Media are misleading “Perhaps when we start looking to see who has misled us...in the studios of the TV networks in New York. It even shows us that it isn’t a good insight into the impact of protest on US society as it talks about the Media. Representation 3 doesn’t either talk about the impact of the protest on US society an example is: “Huge crowds gathered for the picketing” this shows us that the Representation is not a good insight into the impact of protest in US society.(3) Thus both representations are inaccurate to some degree, as Representation one’s omissions are adverse. Facts are actual but the way it is used makes it inaccurate, which is associating to omissions, also it doesn’t mention important figures. However Representation 3 is accurate as research was all important in order to publish this article but inaccurate because it leaves out the impact of Women Liberation Movement. Betty Friedan was American social reformer and feminist, she wrote a book called ‘Feminist Mystique’ it played an important role in the creation of the modern feminist movement. She helped found (NOW) National Organization for Women. Betty Friedan and he women’s liberation played a huge role in that time. By leaving out the impact, it remains inaccurate. Thence, Representation 2 is accurate for the impact of the protest on US society, as it has the least omissions.
Furthermore, representation 2 is not entirely complete for showing how the impact of protest was at the time of the civil Rights Movement. An example is that Representation 2 tells us that “Pressure was also placed on the government by the great March on Washington for jobs and freedom on 28 August 1963”, this shows us that the Representation is a compatible insight into the impact of protest on US society, as it shows the government view of what the pressure from protests caused them to do. In the end “pressure created by the civil disobedience was a key reason why the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1956” which was the government action towards the protests. This suggests that peaceful protest was popular and favoured. The only restraint is the violence in protest, but it has the least omissions. Then again Representation 2 is the best completed Representation for the impact of protest on US society.
Withal, Representation 1 is complete to some extent but there are omissions about significant leaders of protest. An example:” One, two, three, four, tricky dick, stop the war!” (5) This tells us that the representation is not a good insight in the impact of protest on US society, because it doesn’t refer to key leaders of the n mobilization .Representation 3 once more doesn’t mention about the impact of protest in US society. It only targets on Media influence on US society. Hence both representation leave out important omission such as key leaders/protesters of the mobilization and on representation 3 of impact on Protest. Representation 3 is entirely different from representation 1 and 2, as it talks about the women’s liberation movement and the protesters used the civil rights movement protest approaches to gain suppoerters.So, representation 2 is the most complete representation, as it includes the least omissions; facts are true from my knowledge and talks about many protest events.
In conclusion, as is historian one can say that the best representation has been representation 2 because it had been representing the impact of protest in US society as the authors purpose was to persuade and it kept that as its focus, this also has the least omissions, this representation is more accurate than the other two as it talks about more than one aspect which is media, government and protest which gives it an equal view. However, the only thing that is a restriction is the violence in protest. Overall it had good insight; it was valuable, had least omissions and it wasn’t completely objective, it was also more complete than representation one and three.
