Page 408 states that "A crowd is a collection of people temporarily doing something while in proximity to one another." The riots is a part of that because a group of African American came together to get justice for the killing of Rodney King by police brutality. ]]> 2018-05-24 00:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263197631 arianaerodriguez19 https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202609 The Me Too Movement is an international sexual assault awareness movement that was started when higher men in the entertainment industry were accused of sexually assaulting multiple women. This movement has brought a great social change within the women of the world. This movement is associated with the Convergence Theory, which is "the theory that modernization will bring the West and non-West together by breaking down cultural barriers to produce a global society"(Theo 415). This will bring women and even men who have been assaulted together to form a strong and safe society for everyone.]]> 2018-05-24 01:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202609 arianaerodriguez19 https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202697 The theory I believe is the main idea for Functionalists is the Evolutionary Theory. The theory is that "societies change gradually from simple to complex forms"(Theo 417). The best way to describe this theory is to talk about the evolution of the iPhone. The iPhone started out as a simple touchscreen phone that was very impressive back in 2007, however over the years Apple has tried to make the iPhone more unique by making the phone become more complex, which Functionalist prefer.]]> 2018-05-24 01:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202697 arianaerodriguez19 https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202753 The Civil Rights Movement is one of the biggest examples of Conflict Perspective. Conflict perspective is when "society can change swiftly and radically a result of conflict between two sharply opposed forces"(Theo 419). The movement expressed that African Americans were tired of being discriminated against and came together to make a change as soon as possible. This shows that wanting change right away is difficult and will not be accomplished in one day.]]> 2018-05-24 01:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202753 arianaerodriguez19 https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202771 Symbolic interactionist is when "human beings actively interpret the world around them and then act-or interact with others- in accordance with the interpretation" (Theo 420). An example would be that shaking ones hand is a sign of respect but in other places it could signal an aggressive behavior towards that person.

More people are educated with women outnumbering men in earning bachelor's degrees, however the cost of college has also increased. Families have become stronger in that divorce and abortion rates have gone down and also crime rate has gone down. Lastly Americans have become healthier with life expectancy going up, percentage of smokers has gone down, with lower rate of heart disease and lower infant mortality rate.]]> 2018-05-24 01:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202873 arianaerodriguez19 https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202923 Theo says that the "With demassification, however, U.S society will become more individualistic, more fragmented, and less cohesive"(424). This is because the U.S will have a new demographic face because of the baby-boom generation will be facing retirement, more new Americans will be mostly from Latin America, and entering a postindustrial age. Also with many groups demanding their own rights it will be harder to sustain a national consensus, which will then cause more social conflict.]]> 2018-05-24 01:11:53 UTC https://padlet.com/arianaerodriguez19/zj5mblf4a9b1/wish/263202923
