2. Learning Objectives: By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: 1. Explain the social movements. 2.Discuss the different types of social movements . 3. Identify stages of social movements 4. Differentiate the Social Movements Theories.

3. Social Movement A social movement is a collective action by a large group of people, either through protest or activism. It is usually achieved through coordinated social media campaigns, the use of hashtags, and online petitions.Social movements are often categorized based on their goals or ideology.

4. Sociologist Charles Tilly: defines social movements as a series of contentious performances, displays and campaigns by which ordinary people make collective claims on others. Tilly: social movements are a major vehicle for ordinary people’s participation in public politics.

5. Sidney Tarrow defines a social movement as “collective challenges [to elites, authorities, other groups or cultural codes] by people with common purposes and solidarity in sustained interactions with elites, opponents and authorities.” He specifically distinguishes social movements from political parties and advocacy groups. Sociologists John McCarthy and Mayer Zald define as a social movement as “a set of opinions and beliefs in a population whichrepresents preferences for changing some elements of the social structure and/or reward distribution of a society.” Paul van Seeters and Paul James defining a social movement tails a few minimal conditions of coming together’:

6. Types of Social Movement

7. Alternative social movement The terms alternative social movement and “new social movement” were used to describe a type of collective political action that was not based on a shared ideology but rather a common goal or set of values that seeks limited societal change.

8. Reformative social movement Reformative social movement is a social movement that seek to change something specific about the social structure.

10. Revolutionary social movement Revolutionary movements seek to completely change every aspect of society—their goal is to change all of society in a dramatic way.

11. Methods of Work: Peaceful movements utilize techniques such as nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. Violent movements resort to violence when seeking social change. In extreme cases, violent movements may take the form of paramilitary or terrorist organizations Range: Global movements, such as communism in the early 20 th century, have transnational objectives. Local movements are focused on local or regional objectives such as preserving anhistoric building or protecting a natural habitat.

12. Stages of Social Movements

13. Later sociologists studied the lifecycle of social movements how they emerge, grow, and in some cases, die out. Blumer (1969) and Tilly (1978) outline a four-stage process through which social movements develop.

14. 1.In the preliminary stage , people become aware of an issue, and leaders emerge. 2.This is followed by the coalescence stage when people join together and organize in order to publicize the issue and raise awareness.

15. 3.In the institutionalization stage, the movement no longer requires grassroots volunteerism: it is an established organization, typically with a paid staff. 4.When people fall away and adopt a new movement, the movement successfully brings about the change it sought, or when people no longer take the issue seriously, the movement falls into the decline stage .

16. Social Movements Theories

17. Deprivation Theory The deprivation theory was first developed by the American sociologist Robert K. Merton and has been expanded upon by various other sociologists.

18. The Mass-Society Theories A mass society is a society in which prosperity and bureaucracy have weakened traditional social ties. Mass-society theory was first developed by the political sociologist William Kornhauser.

19. Structural Strain Theory The structural strain theory was first developed by Robert K. Merton in the 1930s, and it explains how problems in society can motivate social movements.
