There are distinct patterns in the tactics that social movements use over time, however most social movements are not a success because not all movements tend to use a wide variety of strategies. Why do you think this is? Give an example of a movement that could have gained from the use of a tactic or framing.

In the text it says “specified goals also enhance prospects for success by providing power holders and movement targets concrete information by which to negotiate and bargain.” Almeida supports the notion that having minimal but powerful specific goals (or just one goal) is crucial in a movement's success. Do you agree with this statement or do you believe that a social movement can still be successful by having multiple and/or abstract goals?

# data[].attributes.body
The three main steps that Almeida argues are the keys to analyzing movements and determining that they are successful are 1) If they have reached their specific goal (or goals)  2) If a certain population has received benefits from this movement 3) If they strongly  counteract "bad news model of threats." Do you think a movement could still be successful even if they reach 2 of 3 of these standards? Or 1 of 3? How can we determine if a movement has completely failed?

In the text, it reads, "As Gibson and Piven and Cloward emphasized several decades ago, disruptive protest strategies tend to be more effective than relying solely on conventional tactics." Do you agree with the statement that a in order for a movement to be successful, it needs "disruptive tactics?"
