I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! . When the Declaration of Independence was written, the first few lines written by the founding fathers read We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are equal". Based on this document above, do you think the founding fathers meant literally males only or do you think that " men" was a term that included women as well ? Why or why not ?

no it was just men

Explanation:

I believe that it not meant women because the declaration of independence had many things not for woman's rights in it. It denied property rights, voting, etc.

No, they had meant only men.

Explanation:

At the time, women weren't exactly seen as equals. They would stay home and take care of the kids while the males went off to work to "keep the family running." Women were not treated as equals to men at the time, some could say that they were treated as property. They didn't even have the right to vote at the time, therefore, I believe they meant only men.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
