Social Movements / Week12 / Kwon Ah Yeon



1. summary 

 Social movement is a movement that the public and citizens voluntarily participate in to change and improve existing social structures and systems. This movement is organized, assembled and continuous. 
 There are four areas of social movement: a democratic movement for political rights, a work-related labor movement, an environmental movement on environmental issues, and a peace movement. 
 Several theories exist to explain how social movements develop. Deformation Theory, Mass-Society Theory, Structural-Strain Theory, Resource-Mobilization Theory, and Political Process Theory and Culture. 
 Social movements are not big, but environmental movements and green movements we do to protect the ecosystem are also part of social movements. Homosexuality, vegetarianism, and anti-nuclear movements are all social movements.


2. What is interesting  

 It was interesting that social movements could cause reactions. In the 1960s and 1970s, the women's movement took place as the perception of inequality in women grew. However, many opposition movements also took place to prevent the goals of the women's movement. The crusade in the Conservative religion was the opposition.


3. Discussion Point

 How can we tell the outcome of a social movement? What indicators show the success and failure of a social movement? And what does it mean to be successful?
