         <description><![CDATA[<div>Feminism is a big social change nowadays, that has been very intense is in Mexico, where thousands of women joined to protest against the mass murders against a woman. The article shared in this category is about a feminist movement who is against a governor who is related with rape. According to Moran ¨ Violence against women has not lessened, with Mexico recording an average of 10 deaths a day¨ (Carmen Moran, ¨ In Mexico, feminism knocks furiously at the doors of the presidential palace¨,2021).

         <description><![CDATA[<div>According to Macionis Collective behavior is ¨an activity involving a large number of people that is unplanned, often controversial, and can bring about change¨ (Macionis, pg 490). An example change is the Borussia Dortmund fanbase who rejects the UEFA Reformations that intends to capitalize more the sport of football bringing more money and converting the clubs into mass companies and put aside the fans who were the original founders of the clubs. This happened during the pandemic but in social media a lot of fans joined to complain and to ask their club to not form part of these new reformations.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>According to Macionis a mass society is ¨a society in which prosperity and expanding bureaucracy have weakened traditional social ties¨(Macionis, pg 501). Social Media has been a big change in our daily routine because we have been used to been connected and interact with people via online but this has also brought its cons which decreases levels of social interaction in person with our society making them less social and limiting their social skills. This transformation of people of various backgrounds into a generic mass provides greater moral freedom but it may also end up dehumanizing everyone.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>As Macionis states a class society is ¨a capitalist society with pronounced social stratification¨(Macionis, pg 503). The capitalism has been one of the main reasons why the Earth has changed so much in a way many consider unhealthy because we are destroying our world by doing lots of activities that involve pollution, deforestation and contaminated waters which are caused by the unmeasured increasing power of capitalism. This drawing shows a simple example of how the capitalism embraces power by consuming the world and not leaving anything for it.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This video explains how modern society expects a lot from us where we end up creating feelings of anxiety and lack of meaning in the modern world to rapid social change that washes away tradition. Due to the massive increasing of population the society demands more challenges that many cannot accomplish. Macionis shared that the 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, &amp; Kellner, 1974) &nbsp;(Macionis, pg 504). Having so many differences makes people having a harder conviction about how they want to live their lives feeling that they do not fit in any social group making them to take distance from the rest and start having emotions like depression and anxiety.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image from Tijuana, Mexico demonstrates how a modern era creates new types of problems where having high expectations from the people makes them be more competent leaving some without a job and increasing the poverty. This fact is evident in today’s high rates of unemployment and poverty. According to Macionis Postmodernity&nbsp;refers ¨to the transformations caused by the Information Revolution and the postindustrial economy¨(Macionis, pg 508). The picture of Amazon stock in Tijuana shows a little about how the industries take advantage from the poorest and making profit in countries underdeveloped changing their style of life with pros and cons.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>First developed countries may take advantage from underdeveloped countries with their cheap workforce but also some companies decide to contribute and help communities by creating new job opportunities and having a good impact in their community as the example shared where Lego will make sure to compensate the loss of trees due to the factory construction by planting new trees in Vietnam and having a carbon neutral plant. This fits perfectly to the&nbsp; Modernization theory which according to Macionis it ¨links global poverty to the power of tradition where rich nations can help poor countries develop their economies¨(Macionis, pg 509).</div>]]></description>
