1. What are the similarities and difference between political promotion and social activism?
You must select 4 academic sources to ground your analysis.
You will apply theory from these 4 sources to the 2 political and social activist examples you chose.
*Think to yourself, how do the 2 political examples (1 political, 1 social activism) I chose demonstrate or exhibit the theory/sources I selected.
When answering, think about how the economic, social, cultural, political, etc. might work with and against one another in relation to political and social activist promotion.
Again, you are required to refer to at least four academic readings (can be from the course or elsewhere) to help you analyze your selected promotion.
You are required to choose 1 political example and 1 social activist example.
