Some sociologists pursue careers in social justice. For this assignment you will analyze the websites of two social movement organizations that are seeking to address class, status, and power inequalities in society. Social movements represent collective action to fundamentally alter the status quo. They range in size, power, and scope and are often made up of what academics refer to as Social Movement Organizations (SMOs). Please choose two social movement organization websites that are seeking to address social inequalities.
Assignment Write-up: Browse through the websites and familiarize yourself with the articles, posts, blogs, images, etc. In your write up describe the mission/goals/objectives of the two social movement organizations and answer the following questions for each: What theoretical, philosophical, ethical, or religious principles or assumptions are part of the social movement organization’s mission? Who are the movement’s members? (not the actual names of members but their demographics) Who are the movements’ opponents? Where does the movement get its resources from (monetary donations, volunteers, etc.)? What are the symbols of the movement (artistic, visual, slogans, catch phrases, etc.)? Compare and contrast the two social movement organizations that you described. Do they share any commonalities? What are their differences? What challenges do you think such social movement organizations face in bringing attention to issues of social inequality?
