Newspaper Stasis

The main Stasis used here is Action. After many debates and a vote, an agreement on the Civil Rights Bill was made. The other stases were used prior to passing the Act. The first stasis: Fact and Definition was used when considering who is protected under the law already. Also used when considering who should be granted civil rights. There were civil rights acts of 1866, 1875 and 1957, but the one of 1964 was named the "strongest civil rights act". The second stasis: Cause comes into play when considering what will happen or change for the better when passing the new act. The third stasis: Value plays a role as well because what was included in the bill had to be precise and good quality. Value played a role when movement leaders had to find a balance of what they wanted to propose for the bill. The draft had to be strong enough, but not too strong where moderates and republicans would be completely opposed to it. The fourth stasis: Action was a turning point because since that the bill was signed figuring out how the law was going to be enforced was a new issue. The President made a T.V. appeal to end hatred, but the treatment of minorities was not changed simply by the passing of the bill.
