Social Movements and Social Change Discussion 2 2
Read Chapter about social movements from your text book and then respond to the following
prompt:
Using your sociological imagination, and the concepts and theories in your lesson, identify at least
one social movement that has impacted your life either directly or indirectly, and describe how
your life has been influenced by this movement. In your response be sure to incorporate the
concepts and theories from the chapter. For example, you may want to identify the stage of the
social movement at the present time, which theory of social movements best explains its rise, and
how the movement has impacted your life through institutional and cultural change.
For full points remember you must include textbook reading information in your discussion
(please UNDERLINE OR BOLD key terms). I should be able to recognize that you understood the
chapter reading by your discussion post. Additionally you need to respond to another classmate’s
post in a meaningful way for full points.
