Project Drafts 1&2

Intro Paragraph:

During World War II to the time period of the late 20th century the evolution of the concepts including; personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity, had a growth. In many domestic events that took place during WWII these concepts were clearly stated. Within the Civil Rights movement, many of the key events, goals, and origins also demonstrated the evolution of personal freedom, individual responsibility, and respect for human dignity. The growth of each concept was also portrayed in the course of the women's rights movement, in the 1960s and 1970s, and the social trends (and sometimes the economic trends) of the late 20th century.
