My topic is on United Farm Workers.
For this discussion, I need to conduct an Internet research on the social movement I have selected. To get started, simply Google the name of the social movement to locate detailed information and some historical background on your selection.
My primary post must include information and data on the following:
When did this social movement occur?
Who were the leaders? What type of social movement was it? (Refer to classifications detailed in Module 5.2, chapter 21, section 21.2)
Can you identify a precipitating event that sparked the movement?
Was the movement successful? Did it result in identifiable social change? Look for legislation or public policy initiatives related to the goals of the movement.
Review the theories presented in Module 5.2, chapter 21, section 21.2. Which of these theories do you think is most useful in analyzing the success or failure of the movement?
Some of my other classmates have this topic as well and no double information can be used, so I cannot include these sources in my post as someone has already used them:
