The Fenian Movement was not a success, but their leaders restored the morale in the people at a time when the situation in their country was deplorable.
Not all the causes of the Fenian Movement affected people directly, because there are two specifically that did not have an effect on the Irish people, it were: the sense of nationalism and the increase of organizations and leaders (Beamer 130).
It is very important to see that the Irish people had a desire, they staid focused and wanted to change the future, and they were willing to do anything to achieve it by promoting it around the world and by improving their nationalism toward their country.

Thus all over the world some people are urgently striving for a new kind of 'development' - one which does not irretrievably damage the environment and demean the sacrifice the toiling masses for the prosperity and pleasure of the upper classes.
It is a coming together, a process of like-minded groups and movements who while retaining their autonomous identities, are working together to bring the struggle for a people-oriented development model to the centre-stage of politics and public life.
The alliance of movements and organisations with a mass base and separate identities is a people's political process that sees and stresses its role and relevance beyond the elections and electoral power politics.

They spoke of a "Jesus Revolution" and believed that the endtimes were near (Enroth:12).
Although the "Jesus Movement" was not entirely self-conscious as a movement, they felt as though they were participants in a genuine awakening, comparing themselves to the Great Awakening of the eighteenth century (Enroth:15).
Three decades after the Jesus People Movement emerged from the youth counter-culture of the 1960s, Jesus People USA is one of only a few communical groups to survive in tact.

Blind people didn't have access to orientation and mobility training or Braille or any of the other skills that we need to be competitive, and she and others went to the legislature and had a bill passed that created our orientation center.
