Social Movements and Social Change Discussion

Social Change Discussion

Q Sociology matters because it helps you to understand the social change you encounter. Discuss how the Internet has been used to create new social movements. Give examples to support your answer. Have new technologies helped you in any significant way, and if so, how? On balance, do you see new technologies as a benefit or a threat to society? Explain. Have you yourself experienced culture lag, or have you observed it in others? If so, what kind of change caused the lag—was it new technology or some other kind of change? Did you notice a generational difference in the way people responded to the change? Did you see any open resistance to it? Initial Post: 10 points Tell us your name then respond to the above stated questions. Each question must be thoroughly addressed in your response. Keep in mind our responsibility to apply the sociological imagination and remain as objective as possible. Give as much detail as possible to support your response. Reply Posts: 2.5 points each Choose at least two of the discussion board entries made by other students in the class and reply to their statements. Share your thoughts with them about their ideas. Do you agree or disagree, why? Keep in mind that a simple response of "I agree" or "I disagree" is insufficient and will result in no credit given for those entries.
