Identify three factors that determine whether or not a social movement will succeed.
What will be an ideal response?
but can include a variety of factors that help to determine whether or not a social movement will succeed (Cross and Snow 2012; Rochon 1990). One is its sheer size. Another is novelty, or the uniqueness of the movement and its goals. Uniqueness and size are important because they lead to a great deal of media attention, which, in turn, is likely to generate additional supporters and funds. The latter are two of the many resources social movements need to succeed. Militancy can also be double-edged, since a highly militant social movement might be able to achieve its goals quickly, but militancy, like violence, can lead to counterreactions and suppression. Nonviolence has been a successful method for social movements because it avoids the powerful counterreactions engendered by violent and militant social movements.
