Conflict and social movements direct social change. Chapter 17 mentions that Karl Marx rightly predicted that social unrest brought on by inequality—involving not only class but also race and gender—would compel changes in every society, including our own, to better the lives of working people (490).]]> 2022-10-13 04:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338100775 il1123090 https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338152187 Even though plastic surgery has always been a part of society, I chose this photo of Kim Kardashian to highlight the BBL craze. Brazilian butt lifts have increased by 77.6% since 2015, according to research by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have made them popular on social media along with micro-influencers. Now many celebrities are getting theirs reduced which is shifting the trend.

People embrace them briefly yet passionately (492). ]]> 2022-10-13 05:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338152187 il1123090 https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338196390 Class-society theory claims in chapter 17 that social inequality has persisted due to modernity's rise of capitalism as a global economic system. Modern capitalist societies produce widespread emotions of alienation and helplessness as a result of the concentration of wealth in the hands of a select few (504).]]> 2022-10-13 05:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338196390 il1123090 https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338214774 This picture illustrates how challenging it is to identify oneself in modern society. People frequently switch between several identities. People today value adaptability and personal flexibility. This kind of social behavior is referred to by David Riesman as other-directedness, receptivity to the newest trends, and imitation (505). ]]> 2022-10-13 06:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338214774 il1123090 https://padlet.com/il1123090/o0dr8iptrvrrvqxc/wish/2338238493 Postmodernity is used in chapter 17 to describe the cultural characteristics of postindustrial countries.
