Which of the following best explains the differences between mass society theory and relative deprivation theory?
a. Mass society theory is most interested in how postindustrialism and liquid modernity have triggered threats to the environment. In contrast, relative deprivation theory underscores how identities and culture, rather than technologies, are the keys to understanding social movements. b. Mass society theory focuses on the alienation and isolation that people in industrialized societies experience that eventually lead them to unite together in protest. Relative deprivation theory emphasizes how people are more likely to get involved in collective action when their situation is getting better rather than worse because they see the discrepancy between their desires and the realities. c. Mass society theory emphasizes that collective behavior develops following a six- step process that includes a collective set of beliefs and a triggering incident. In contrast, relative deprivation theory argues that people join social movements when there is a conflict between their expected needs and actual need satisfaction. d. Mass society theory focuses on how alienation leads to democratic movements, while relative deprivation theory articulates the importance of material resources (money, members, physical office space) in the success of a social movement.
