Crowds are one type of collective behavior. This video represents the Michigan Stay-Home orders Protests. This is a large number of people, some may have come in an unplanned capacity, it is a controversial topic today because of the global pandemic we see ourselves apart of. Can it bring change? Should it bring change, especially when we are dealing with a virus on such a grand scale? ]]> 2020-07-27 18:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663513830 ml0515229 https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663514107 " Mass society is a society in which prosperity and expanding bureaucracy have weakened social ties." (Macionis, pg. 539). We no longer have small communities but large massive cities. This has disrupted personal identity, sense of belonging as well as a person's purpose. ]]> 2020-07-27 18:39:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663514107 ml0515229 https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663514806 "Class society theory stress the expansion of capitalism and the persistence of inequality."(Macionis, pg. 542) This article from Forbes gives us more perspective on the persistence of inequality as it pertains to capitalism. ]]> 2020-07-27 18:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663514806 ml0515229 https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663515042 Other-directedness, " openness to the latest trends and fashions, often expressed by imitating others. (Macionis, pg. 543). We live in an ever changing society where individualism is not based on the traditions passed down by each  generation but by those we tend to emulate. Kim Kardashian is a prime example of modern society as it pertains to individualism. We have too many choices in front of us so we decide to become an imitation of someone else. While this is a very current person, we can see this throughout the process of modernity as we lose ties with the small communities that use to give a sense of identity. Now we look to influencers and celebrities for who we should be.]]> 2020-07-27 18:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663515042 ml0515229 https://padlet.com/ml0515229/hzh611n33cw9bj3/wish/663515311 Postmodernity, " the transformations caused by the Information Revolution and the postindustrial economy." ((pg.546). One of the defining themes of postmodernity is thar science no longer holds the answers. Macionis(2019) states that, " Postmodernist thinkers discredit science, claiming that it implies a singular truth. On the Contrary, they maintain, different people see different realities, and there are many ways to construct the world. " (pg. 546)
