Document Summary
Reforming laws: anti-racist movements, black lives matter, abortion/pro-life debate, movements for gay marriage. Progressive vs. reactionary: progressive want to make change; reactionary want to undo change. (countermovement)- reactionary: damm (drivers against madd methods) Claims that driving under influence arrests are all a big scam to make money for government and politicians. Honest law abiding citizens are having rights violated. Quebec sovereigntists; want to not be a part of canada and be its own colony. Looking at specific cases of rebellion and revolution this is not always the case. Intolerable gap between the social rewards people think they deserve & social rewards they expect to receive . Major theory in sociology up until 70"s-80"s. Deprivation that leads to mobilization that people who are deprived join social movements going to join social movement to end deprivation. Worst off people/poor people are going to be the ones that struggle for change. Empirical proof lacking: hard to prove this always works.
