  On the Third Wave
Third wave feminism purports to encompass the young women born in the 1960s and 70s who feel their personal experience of their history set them apart from older women.
The main problem with the third wave is that they are not rebelling against the reality of feminism, but a false image constructed by the media throughout the second wave and particularly the conservative backlash era of the 1980s.
The goal of second wave consciousness raising was to create a shared space and experience to use as a uniting force for all women (Siegel 69), but the third wave is more interested in the differences among people and their how that difference shapes their personal and political issues.

 Charismatic Chaos - By John MacArthur
And while acknowledging the Third Wave's spiritual ancestry, that is, that it is the third of those three, Wagner nonetheless rejects the label "Charismatic and Pentecostal." In fact, most of the people in the Third Wave don't want to be identified in that way.
The Third Wave is a new moving of the Holy Spirit among evangelicals who for one reason or another have chosen not to identify with either the Pentecostals or the Charismatics.
Third Wave books and Third Wave testimonies are filled with anecdotes about people who supposedly became Christians on the basis of some miracle they saw; some supernatural wonder they saw, with little or no mention of the gospel having been proclaimed to them.

 Facing the Third Wave: Africa, the Caribbean and Globalization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
In his book, The Third Wave, social critic Alvin Toffler discussed the three waves, or trends, societies have undergone at various points in history or are undergoing now - agricultural, industrial and information or knowledge-based.
Consequently, as the developed world builds on the Third Wave technical revolution, Africa and the Caribbean struggle to overcome what is, in some cases, a three-century head start by the developed world.
Before going further, let's distinguish between this Third Wave and the phenomenon known as "globalization." Initially, the term globalization referred to the process by which companies looked beyond their home markets and attempted to capitalize on business opportunities anywhere in the world.

 Third Wave - Theopedia
The expression Third Wave was coined by Christian theologian C Peter Wagner around 1980 to describe the recent historical work of the Holy Spirit.
The Third "wave" occurred during the mid 1980s and continues today, and is associated with Wagner's own ministry, as well as the Vineyard Movement, and others.
Some critics argue that the "third wave" differs from the charismatic movement only in terminology, not in either theology or practice, so to distinguish between the two is to make a distinction without a difference; for example, Dr. John MacArthur makes this argument in his book Charismatic Chaos.

 The Third Wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Wave was the name given by history teacher Ron Jones to an experimental recreation of Nazi Germany which he conducted with high school students.
Jones named the movement "The Third Wave," after the common wisdom that the third in a series of ocean waves is always the strongest, and claimed its members would revolutionize the world.
The experiment allegedly took on a life of its own, with students from all over the school joining in; Jones wrote that he agonized over the outcome of the exercise before bringing it to a halt by claiming that the movement had a world-wide leader, and then displaying a film clip of him: Adolf Hitler.

 Rebecca Walker - RIDING THE THIRD WAVE, 1996
But people seem to think about the first wave as being the suffragist movement, the second wave as being the activists of the late '60s or early '70s who did a lot of work around reproductive freedom and around separating sex from gender, helping us understand ways in which gender was totally constructed.
So the Third Wave is something that is multi-issue, multicultural, multisexual orientation, which means we can do projects ranging from voter registration to literacy to online activism to organizing gay pride marches.
Third Wave was kind of founded out of an intense anger and frustration that I felt at not seeing young women's voices come from out of the media responding to issues like the Rodney King verdict or the Anita Hill case.

 CSC: New BPM Book Promises to Obliterate the Business-IT Divide   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
In the second wave of BPM of the past decade or so, processes were manually reengineered and, through a one-time activity, cast in concrete in the depths of today’s stovepipe applications.
As described in the book, in the third wave of BPM, the business process is freed from its concrete castings in technology and made the central focus and basic building block of all automation and business systems.
The book was a milestone in business publishing in that it was the first book to succinctly describe the opportunity to improve performance by process re-design.

Third Wave was also a response to critiques of the Second Wave.
When the founders of Third Wave Foundation came together (Catherine Gund, Dawn Lundy Martin, Amy Richards, and myself) in 1996 we were also responding to the political climate of the moment and worrisome projections about the future.

 3rd WWWave - Feminist Bookshelf - The Third Wave
Writing at the same time as Wolf and Kamen, Faludi's book is a great one for some perspective on what forces during the 80's and early 90's started agitating young women and worrying second wave feminists.
The effect better depicts one of the third wave's critiques and ideals - that rigid definitions of feminism don't quite represent individual women's expereinces with sexism in today's complex and global world, and that the next generation of feminism must honor diverse ways of being feminist, and continue the goals of feminism.
Although not strictly a book about third wave feminism, "Girls in America" captures the essence of being young and female in the US today, with all the contradictions, hopes, freedoms, and restrictions that accompany the transition to womanhood.

 Information technology: the third wave. (November is Computer Month) (Cover Story)
In the third wave, the engine that drives the system is not physical labor, as it is in agriculture; not machines, as it is in industry; but information.
The IT underlying the second wave was movable-type printing, which was developed by Gutenberg around 1450, although the onset of the industrial age did not occur for several centuries thereafter.
The third wave creates two separate opportunities for attest service: it produces vast new streams of information that demand attestation, and it provides the means to automate much of the attest process.

 The Third Wave   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
As the Second Wave took over, it demanded that men in particular learn to watch the clock, to obey orders, to remove their personal feelings from the work place--to be "objective." Every operation depended on many men doing the correct thing at the correct time.
Second Wave husbands continually complained that their wives kept them wiating, that they had nor regard for time, that it took them forever to dress, that they were always late for appointments" (Toffler 1980, 52).
An accelerating wave of change, pushed by the coming Third Wave, is causing disorientation, frustration, and increased mistakes on the part of managers.

 Direction: The Third Wave Worldview: A Biblical Critique
According to the Third Wave paradigm, the universe is populated with millions of superhuman/supernatural beings bent on destroying humanity and God’s designs.
I suggested earlier that the theology of the Third Wave movement should be examined and critiqued at the level of its worldview and not simply in terms of the social acceptability of specific demon-casting practices in any one community.
Another concern I have about the Third Wave ideology is related to the critical importance given to leaders who claim to have a special gift of discernment regarding the presence of evil spirits in someone else’s life or in some given location.

 Samuel Huntington: The Third Wave - A Book Review by Scott London
Huntington refers to the widespread international push toward democracy during this period as the "third wave" (not to be confused with Alvin Toffler's "third wave" which became the byword of people like Newt Gingrich in the 1990s).
Huntington recognizes that democratic transitions, consolidations, and collapses can all result from a variety of dynamics, and while he explores several of them both analytically and historically, he is more concerned with developing a post hoc explanation than an all-embracing model or predictive theory.
The strengths of this book are not in helping us chart our way into an uncertain future (there is a role for such books).

The ancient Greek Philosopher Plato was the first one to use the term "Third Wave" in his pro-Communist (some claim satire) work "The Republic." Plato called the "third wave" that "largest and most dangerous [wave of all]" wherein the pro-Communist philosopher king overthrows the existing order, either by "smooth" persuasion or by brute force.
The Third Wave was the transitional phase from any form of government, free or otherwise, to total Statism under the leadership of an elite class of individuals called "philosopher kings." (1)
That's when at the end of the third wave (capitalism - the first two waves are slavery and feudalism) (25) the exploitees get to take out "justifiable revenge" on the exploiters, reigning bloody horror on them until every last vestige of private property and belief in private property are swept from the earth.

In so doing, what I hope to accomplish is to make readers aware that this very transparency, which many have argued is, if not a desirable goal, at least an expected one (that is, we don't talk about "pencils and writing" as a field), is something that we may need to guard against.

The main components of the Second Wave are the nuclear family, factory-type eduction, and the corporation, all of which are based upon standardization, centralization, concentration and synchonization, and bureaucracy.

 Riding the Third Wave
This historical prejudice is especially striking, given that recent anthologies tend to date Third Wave feminism from the critiques that women of color launched against liberal feminism toward the end of the Second Wave.
If Third Wavers are vulnerable to charges of navel-gazing, of musing endlessly and confessionally over the contradictions between feminism and life, the authors adamantly resist this deferral of political consciousness.
If the Third Wave intends to remake feminism for this generation, then it needs a comprehensive account of the specific material conditions that currently determine (and determine differentially) the social and economic position of women in the United States and outside the United States as well.

The First Wave of change, launched by the agricultural revolution of 10,000 years ago, led to the transition from hunting, gathering, and foraging to the great peasant societies of the past.
But even as the Second Wave plays itself out on the global stage, America and other countries are already feeling the impact of a gigantic Third Wave partly based on the substitution of mental power for muscle power in the economy.
The Third Wave helps explain why so many industrial-era institutions, from giant corporations to governments, are dinosaurs gasping for their last breath.

 Riding the Third Wave
While each of these collections takes its own approach to the Third Wave, they share an emphasis on the singular experience of young women and the occasional young man as grounds for a new generation of feminist politics ("young" in this context generally designates those born between 1964 and 1980).
One of the striking features of works of Third Wave feminism published so far is their general impatience with, and desire to break from, the feminist past.
In Third Wave writing, reductive caricature--those "bell-bottomed feminazis"--often displaces and deters real historical knowledge about the politics, accomplishments and legacy of the Second Wave, not to mention earlier feminisms.

 Non-fiction Book Review: Future Shock, The Third Wave, Power Shift: A Trilogy by Alvin Toffler
By the time Power Shift, the third book of his trilogy, hit the bookstores in 1990, there could be no doubt in anyone's mind.
Although each book in the trilogy stands on its own merits and can be read independently of the others, the entire works offer a greater depth of information and, therefore, understanding.
The Third Wave documents the three great transforming changes that have occurred throughout human history, and puts each of these changes in historical perspective.

Using the simplest and most straightforward definition, I am, indisputably, a member of the third wave: I was born in 1972, right smack in the demographic that people think about when they think about the third wave.
It’s just so much easier to hit on the playful cultural elements of the third wave and contrast them with the brass-tacks agenda — and impressive gains — of the second wave: It’s become the master narrative of feminism’s progression (or regression, as some see it).
There are elements of both that are playful and take pop culture as both their medium and their subject matter: The 1968 Miss America protests defined the very start of the second wave, and their lineage extends to guerrilla theater groups like Ladies Against Women in the ’80s and the Radical Cheerleaders today.
