1. Summary
 Social movement refers to the act of collectively acting to change society or solve social problems. Social movements and social movements (SMOs) are distinct. PETA supports a full vegetarian lifestyle with other purposes. However, PETA is not the only organization that supports full vegetarianism and lifestyle. 
 Aberle describes the type of social change in four types, depending on who the movement is trying to change or how much it is advocated. In the former, the latter uses four combinations: Everyone, Special Individuals, Limited, and Radical.
 The stage of social exercise changes in a total of five directions through the Emerge, Coalesce, and Bureausratise stages. It goes through one of the following steps: Success, Failure, Cooption, Compression, and Go Mainstream, and finally goes through Decline. 
 The theories of social movement include deprivation theory, mass-society theory, structural-strain theory, resource mobilization theory, political process theory, and cultural theory. The theory of deprivation argues that social movements have their basis among people who are deprived of goods or resources. In this approach, it is likely that individuals who lack goods, services and comfort will organize social movements to improve their condition.
 Mass-society theory argues that social movements are not important or consist of large social individuals who are socially separated. Structural-Strain theory encourages the development of social movements by proposing six factors.
Resource mobilization theories emphasize the importance of resources in the development and success of social movements. This includes knowledge, money, media, labor, solidarity, legitimacy, internal and external support for power elite.
 Political process theory is similar to resource mobilization theory, but there is a difference that tends to emphasize political opportunities, another element of social structure important to the development of social movements. Cultural theory is based on the theory of political process and mobilization, but it expands in that it emphasizes the importance of mobile culture and tries to solve the problem of free riders. 

2. What was interesting/What did we learn
The new social movement (NSMs) has been different from the previous social movement. This emphasizes social changes in identity, way of life and culture slightly different from economic problems. The social aspect is considered more important in the corresponding social movement. In this chapter, I was able to learn new social movements.
