I chose this article as an example of a contemporary social change because it talks about a movement that is trying to set up changes in America. In this it would be social changes for Black people in regards of getting justice. According to the book, this would be a social change that is seen as "controversial" (Macionis p 527). In society people will agree and advocate the movement whereas other would disagree.  Black Lives Matter May Be the Largest Movement in U.S. History - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Social-Conflict Theory: Modernity as Class Society

# data[].attributes.body
I chose this drawing as an example of the social conflict theory because it shows how inequal the social classes are and how the rich will always be the one to survive. It shows the social stratification of each social class. The main definition of class society is pronounced social stratification. While agreeing that modern societies have expanded to a mass scale, this approach views the heart of modernization as an expanding capitalist economy, marked by inequality (Macionis p 541).

I chose this video as an example because it issues on one way that an individual's identify of themselves can get affected by society. By this I mean how the way others view a person, the person will believe in the perceptions.  In the book, "mass-society theory suggests that so much social diversity, widespread isolation, and rapid social change make it difficult for many people to establish any coherent identity at all" (Wheelis, 1958; Berger, Berger, & Kellner, 1974) (Macionis p 541). As much as now, people do express themselves, it's difficult to find their identity knowing what others view them by.

I chose these cartoons of how families as an example of postmodernity because it shows a change in society. In this case the change is that the main know family form varies now. In chapter 17, the fifth theme of postmodern thinking states how that social institutions are changing. "Postmodern family no longer conforms to any single pattern; on the contrary, individuals are choosing among many new family forms"(Macionis p 546). All families are special (slideshare.net)

I chose this as an example of a Structural-Functional Perspective because it shows the way things work in America through politics. Individuals have the freedom in choice which can affect their choice of vote. It shows the different status and work that is put in towards politics.  According to the book, "geographic mobility, mass communication, and exposure to diverse ways of life all weaken traditional values...people become more tolerant of social diversity, defending individual rights and freedom of choice" (Macionis p 540).

I chose this picture of South Korea as an example of modernization and our global future to show how much modernization helped with the country's future. South Korea was one example of a country that had growth in technology that boosted them to success. According to chapter 17, "Modernization theory claims that in the past, the entire world was poor and that technological change, especially the Industrial Revolution, enhanced human productivity and raised living standards in many nations". For South Korea, there was success (Macionis p 546). Korea... And The Art Of The Pivot (forbes.com)
