The importance of knowing the history of the Women’s Rights Movement remains as a sequence of important moments within our history that continue to impact the movement and its purpose in our current affairs. As it mentions in the chapter that “Social change occurs when people join together in the pursuit of a common goal ,” (P.490) the empowerment given by women who not only gather women but also the rest of the world to understand the importance of the solidarity that must stand with them.

(2) Collective Behavior

As the time difference between these important moments in our history are a couple of years apart, the color in the first photo, as opposed to usual old black & white ink photos, shows that it wasn’t too long ago. For these photos remain to greatly show the collective behavior through the formations of crowds to protest and give their support to act upon the racial discrimination and injustices done onto Black people and their communities. As the mutual focus of attention is set, together we fight for those changes as the influences of others greatly affect us too. (P.490)

(3) Modernity as a Mass Society

“The mass media give rise to a national culture that washes over the traditional differences that used to set off one region from another.” (P.502) As the use of these two drawings display similar/honest depictions of how the media and its excessive (yet specified) amount of information is shared to all who pay attention to it. The variation of sources we attain, create different perceptions in which influence what aspects we are advised to think about, but not about all the other aspects that are important as well.

(4) Modernity as Class Society

With this explanation of Conflict Theory from Khan Academy, it provides insight between the differences of why both don’t often go well together. As the chapter says that “Mass-society theorists argue that the state works to increase equality and fight social problems. Marx disagreed; he doubted that the state could accomplish more than minor reforms because, as he saw it, real power lies in the hands of the capitalists who control the economy.” (P.504)

(5) Modernity and the Individual

I chose this song because of how its purpose and variation of meanings still remain relevant in our current affairs. As the chapter mentions that the theory for mass-society contains aspects of rapid social change, social diversity, and widespread isolation, the results of those aspects can often be difficult for individuals to create their own sense of identity through either of them. (P.504) Yet with the power and strength of the minds amongst the individuals of many generations, that continue to speak upon the matters of racism, stereotypes, and prejudices. The importance of these messages that continue to speak volumes in ways to keep us in solidarity and to remain teachable towards those that still don’t seem to understand.

(6) Postmodernity

av1106172 — 2021-12-13 01:58:43 UTC

As a variety of expressions were made and set apart from what the postmodernism era had created through variations of art than what it was instructed to follow, it lead to new findings. In which allowed these forms of artistic differences to become what sets the individual perspectives as unique even if they go against the common values and beliefs of others. "On the contrary, they maintain, different people see different realities, and there are many ways to socially construct the world." (P.508)

(7) Modernization & Our Global Future

av1106172 — 2021-12-13 02:12:09 UTC

With how we act upon the series of events that result in the changes we face and adapt to in our own ways, what we do now can either be of something great or something to continue to improve on. Even through these differences, the meanings within all the importance of all social movements will somehow affect our futures ahead. Yet it will always be on our part to figure out how we can help others who don’t have the voice and equal opportunities to do so. As “Our growing understanding of human society gives us reasons to be hopeful that we can get the job done.” (P.509)

(7) A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke (1963)

"Lor', there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on."
