Select one of the protest or political movements discussed in the chapter. Describe that movement, based upon evidence from the text. Then analyze its activities using one of the social movement theories (mass society theory, relative deprivation theory,
structural strain theory, resource-mobilization theory, new social movements theory, or cultural theory). Articulate why that theory is the best one to use to analyze that particular social movement. If necessary, you can select two of these theories and explain why you must explain this social movement using these two theories rather than only one theory.
Please provide the best answer for the statement
1. An accurate description of the movement that will be analyzed based upon a thorough
reading of the text.
2. A logical selection of the chosen theory or theories and a thoughtful analysis of how
this theory applies to the given social movement.
