In "The Two Revolutions" by Thomas B. Edsall, Edsall analyzes these two major revolutions that emerged in American history: the socio-cultural or rights movement and the technological, scientific, and economic revolution (TSE). The sociocultural revolution involved working women's rights, women's labor and workplace rights, demographic change, sexual freedom and the right to abortion. After World War II, America faced a race-based freedom movement that ran parallel to the decay of sexual mores. Furthermore, the “rights” revolution worked to include the contraceptive revolution. The contraceptive revolution was the result of innovation in antibiotics, surgical abortion, fertility techniques and more, allowing women to delay childbirth and focus on their careers, for example. With the faltering of sex-based discrimination following this movement, it paved the way for a huge admission of women into the workforce. Furthermore, the resulting developments of this movement were observable in Vatican II (1965), which instigated the modernization of sexual roles within the Catholic Church. Therefore, it is clear that the “rights” revolution is not limited to America, but is a movement visible throughout the world. Furthermore, the TSE revolution has clearly affected sectors of society, including the technological, scientific and economic sectors, having an ongoing impact on the business structure of American society. Furthermore, the TSE revolution occurred alongside the sociocultural revolution, influencing contraceptive technology, economic change, and women in the workplace. With the globalization of trade, the development of new types of financial engineering, the revolution helped to increase the role of power for America or... middle of paper... the Republican image became more conservative, the party begins to win the white male vote. Clearly proven as a win for the GOP when they win the election with Reagan. Reagan used his influence to weaken provisions of the Voting Rights Act and to reverse the IRS ruling that discriminatory schools were tax-exempt. When Clinton came to power, he became the archetype of the “rights” revolution, opposed by the Bush administration which was clearly conservative. Following the two revolutions, the Republican and Democratic parties were then "branded". The Republican is more conservative and the Democratic Party is liberal, divided by the sociocultural revolutions and TSE. However, it is clear that America remained conservative despite these revolutions, leading to the collective advancement of Republican political fortunes..
