Introduction to Sociology/Social Movements/ Cho ji won

1.Summary
 Social movements are a broad social alliance of people connected through common interests that block or influence social change. Social movements can be done systematically, but can also be done individually.
Social and social organizations are distinguished. Social movements mean that they formally work and operate. Social movement organizations, however, constitute a part of specific social movements. Giddens divided the realm of this social movement into four areas. 1 democratic movements that work for political right .2. labor movements that work for control of the workplace 3. ecological movements that are concerned with the environment 4. peace movements that work toward, well, peace.
 Social movements can also involve unintended reactions.Social movements are divided by two characteristics. Who is trying the first change? Second, how benign about change. Accordingly, social movements are classified into individual dimension, group dimension, minor change, and radical change.
Social movements are happening, merged, and generally bureaucratic. At that point, exercise is determined to be one of the many outcomes of the movement, such as failure success. Social movements are progressing in stages, but they are often misidentified because their initial goals may change.
  Theories explaining social movements include deprivation theory, mass society theory, structural transformation theory, resource mobilization theory, political process theory, and cultural theory.

2.What was interested?
 When I first heard the word social movement, I thought it was a very large group movement. I thought it was such a movement that changed society and caused revolution. However, by reading this article, I realized that social movements are not just such a big dimension. I also learned various ways of understanding social movements while seeing theories that explain social movements. Mass society theory and cultural theory were interesting. In mass society theory, the content of individuals separated from society was interesting. In the cultural theory, it was interesting that the injustice frames were developed for social movements.

3.Discussion point
 Individuals or groups move to realize their will. It is distinguished by the degree of change and purpose. There are, however, movements whose purpose is the same, but which differ in their means. There are also groups that are involved in demonstrations against the political problem. I do not know if it can be called a social movement if a force like violence comes in. Rather, is the means of exercise a very important aspect? I would like to discuss this.
