How are the outcomes of social movements measured?

What will be an ideal response?


Social movements are often trying at the same time to change corporate or governmental policy, transform public attitudes, and bring about the personal transformation of the protesters. The power of social movements is cumulative and can be appreciated only from a long-term historical perspective. Many of the gains of social movements get reversed, but they often leave behind incremental expansions in participation, changes in popular culture, and residual movement networks. Gains in governmental policy can be fragile, but may be accompanied by cultural change that is probably long-lasting. The most successful movements tap into existing networks and associations that have a shared culture, a strong sense of solidarity, and a common identity.
