Calls for Reform
As the century progressed, rights-based discourses will start to challenge old conventions about race, gender, class and religion. The U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights will seek to protect the rights of children, women, and refugees. Global feminist movements, Negritude movements and liberation theology in Latin America were also examples of the challenging of assumptions about race, class, gender, and religion. Throughout most of the world, access to education as well as participation in new political and professional roles became more accessible and comprehensive in terms of race, class, gender and religion. This will help women to push for and gain the right to vote around the world with the U.S. granting in
1920, Brazil in 1923, and many others following suit. Other examples of the benefit of increased access to education and political and professional roles were the rising rate of feminine literacy and increasing numbers of women in higher education, the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1965, the end of apartheid, and the caste reservation in India. Movements throughout the world will also protest the inequality of the environmental and economic consequences of global integration such as with Greenpeace, the Green Belt Movement in Kenya and the World Fair Trade Organization.
Globalized Culture

Music, Movies, Social Media, Television are just some examples of this. Arts, Entertainment, and popular culture increasingly reflected the influence of a globalized society. Consumer culture became globalized and transcended national borders as well global companies and brands like eBay and Coca-Cola.
