Discuss the institutionalization stage of a social movement.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. As a social movement grows, it becomes institutionalized and more bureaucratic. The number of staff positions increases, members draw up bylaws, the organization may hire outsiders (writers, attorneys, and lobbyists) to handle some of the necessary tasks, and the leaders may spend more of their time on speaking tours, in media interviews, and at national or international meetings. As the social movement grows and becomes more bureaucratic and self-sufficient, the original leaders may move on to better paying and more influential positions in government or the private sector.
