It connects to the social movement theory where it focuses on quality of life issues. For example, police brutality is a negative quality of life (Social Movements and Change, 532).]]> 2020-12-09 23:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004434643 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004465448 This photo shows how the Black Lives Matter movement can be taken advantage of, resulting in a peaceful movement to look bad. This photo connects to the collective behavior "Mobs and Riots," in which crowds can turn into mobs by having a destructive goal in mind (Mobs And Riots, 529).]]> 2020-12-09 23:57:20 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004465448 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004477779 This photo represents how, in the past, people would have the same perspective and mentality on things, which explains the same mask on everyone's faces. However, due to an increase in population, it has caused social differences to take place social differences based on the media (The Mass Scale of Moden Life, 540).]]> 2020-12-10 00:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004477779 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004554310 This photo represents how the upper economic class always feeds off of the lower class in society, making the rich people's lives a lot easier. This relates to the "Class Society: Problems of Powerlessness" on how modernity has made life easier for privileged people, while others in the lower classes of the economy continue to struggle and survive (Class Society: Problems of Powerlessness, 544).]]> 2020-12-10 00:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004554310 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004555575 Based on this photo, there various factors that make us as individuals who we are, but becomes overwhelming. An example of this is society changing drastically as a new trend takes over the media. This concept relates to the Mass Society: Problems of Identity reading, where social change has made it harder to find identity (Mass Society: Problems of Identity, 542). ]]> 2020-12-10 00:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004555575 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004555803 I've chosen this photo because it shows how modernity (the blue shirt person) has fallen due to their ambitions, and where postmodernity (the green shirt person) questions their motives. This relates to the first theme of postmodern thinking, where modernity has failed based on the tactics used to solve social problems (Postmodernity, 546). ]]> 2020-12-10 00:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004555803 fredmarquezmac https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004556129 The video shown below demonstrates how technology, such as cell phones, has increased economic growth for poor countries. In "Modernization and Our Global Future", they talk about how technology is one of many solutions that aim to reduce global poverty (Modernization and Our Global Future, 546). ]]> 2020-12-10 00:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fredmarquezmac/pqvtsz45b0tema4u/wish/1004556129
