According to the textbook, "People riot in response to what they see as social injustice..... The cause of most riots is some long-standing anger or grievance." (Macionis, p.491).

I have chosen this picture because it shows how a large crowd of the same race has come together to build a movement, the Black Lives Matter Movement. As a result of police brutality african-americans came together to make a change in society, a change for everybody to be treated equally no matter what race, color, or ethnicity a person is or come from.

Family and education are known to be a big part of today’s mass society but religion and crime are also two big factors that contribute to a mass society. It is up to each individual to try to make these factors fit in their society. According to the textbook mass society “is a society in which prosperity and expanding bureaucracy have weakened traditional social ties.”(Macionis, p.501).

In today’s modern society most people especially young teens and adults struggle to find their identity. “Socially diverse and rapidly changing, they offer only shifting sands on which to build a personal identity.” (Macionis, p.505).

I have chosen this picture of Selena Quintanilla because I believe it sets a great example of postmodernity. It sets a great example of postmodernity because Selena Quintanilla died 25 years ago but still today her music, her legacy is still being played by producers by making movies and series about her life meaning that she sets the example of how a person can build their personal identity. According to the textbook, postmodernity is “the transformations caused by the Information Revolution and the postindustrial economy.” (Macionis, p.508).
