Social Movements / Week12 / HanBin Bae

Summary
A social movement is a wide range of collective actions by people who want to block or influence the embodiment of social change in a society. Social movements begin informally at first, although they develop into parties, highly organized interest groups, pressure groups, and sometimes party or institutional groups.

Interesting
There are four special areas in modern society where social movements take place. First, as a democratic movement, it is interested in maintaining or shaping political rights. Second, as a labor movement, it is interested in changing the defensive control of the workplace and the more general distribution of economic power. Third, as an environmental movement, I am interested in preventing environmental and social losses caused by the transformation of the natural world by social behavior. Fourth, as a peace movement, it challenges the broader impact of aggressive nationalism and military power. Considering this point, I think women's and consumerism are examples of other important recent campaigns.
Discussion
There are so many social movements as we have seen them and saw them. I think this kind of social movement will happen in the future. So what are the criteria for failure and success? What do you think social movements mean by success?
