Document Summary
Lecture 19: technology, the environment, and social movements (chapter 12) Occurs when people act in unison to bring about or resist social, political, and economic change. Collective attempts to change all or part of the political or social order by means of rioting, petitioning, striking, demonstrating, and establishing pressure groups, unions, and political parties. Relative deprivation/strain: the things you want to get from society are not things you actually get. You can crystallize the movement around an idea because you have the resources. Resource mobility: if you don"t have the resources you won"t engage in protests, takes resources to riot effectively. Social control: give concessions to the rioters, ex. If they are troublesome leaders bring them in as advisers to dissolve the social movement. Framing: matching your interests/ideas/values with those of the movement, make them congruent. Social movements have a hard time recruiting people so they"re causes must align with your individual beliefs.
