Resistance Project

THE RESISTANCE PROJECT 2020
The Resistance Project (2020) has been designed to move you from theory into action.  The goal of the project is to have you research a specific social problem, analyze its socio-cultural implications, investigate past and present social justice movements spawned from the problem, and create a plan of action appropriate for our current global landscape. 

CONTENTS:-The Final Paper will include these sections and components
