I chose this article because it discusses how lots of UCSB students met in large crowds in order to speak up about lots of things occurring in the school. Crowds have always formed to bring about social change during circumstances of retaliation, opposition, and celebrations etc. The textbook states, "The power of the crowd to challenge the status quo and sometimes to force social change is the reason crowds are so controversial." (Macionis, Pg. 530) This quote correlates with the article above because in said article, UCSB students gathered in a respectful and civilized manner to advocate for their civil rights on campus. ]]> 2022-05-24 02:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mm1128339/edgt2it6cuv4zccv/wish/2196882686 mm1128339 https://padlet.com/mm1128339/edgt2it6cuv4zccv/wish/2197052265 One of the four defining characteristics of social change is that it's controversial. I chose the TikTok above because it's about a very serious and controversial topic circulating around the nation right now. It shows how the possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned could affect women all over the country.  According to the textbook, "In short, even the things that seem constant are subject to the twists and turns of change" (Macionis, Pg. 527) This connects to the TikTok above because although Roe v Wade was a decision that happened decades ago, as we can see above, it's still being changed. ]]> 2022-05-24 05:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mm1128339/edgt2it6cuv4zccv/wish/2197052265 mm1128339 https://padlet.com/mm1128339/edgt2it6cuv4zccv/wish/2198688614 I chose the fact sheet above because it has statistics that show how the top 1 percent, CEO's for example, increased a dramatic amount compared to the working class of typical workers. This correlates with the textbook because in chapter 17 states, "Under capitalism, people are transformed into commodities: a source of labor and a market for capitalist products."

I also loved the quote at the very bottom that says, "Astrology allows me to believe in something greater than myself " because it reminded me of a paragraph I had read in the chapter. The paragraph states,  "the freedom to choose has little value without standards to guide the selection process ... As a result, many people shuttle from one identity to another... in search of the elusive 'true self'.

The dependency theory argues that rich countries modernized at the price of impoverished countries, seizing their natural resources and exploiting their people. In chapter 17, it states, "Even today, the world's poorest countries remain locked in a disadvantageous economic relationship with rich nations, dependent on wealthy countries to buy their raw materials and in return provide them with any manufactured products they can afford." (Macionis, Pg. 547) This connects to the cartoon above because in it, a starved and skinny man (representing poorer countries) is offering his only food source, which represents the countries natural resources, to a huge and fat man.
