blueprint, or plan, that is informed by both the successes and
failures of the past strengthens your vision for social change.
What mistakes can you learn from and avoid as it relates to past
social change movements? It is important to identify the factors
that have made other movements successful in order to organize
your own social change efforts. To that end, in this discussion
you identify and provide a rationale for the factors you feel
contribute to the success of social change movements.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Goldberg, Ling, and Gladwell articles for insight
into lessons learned in social movements of the past.
Think about historical social movements that have had a direct
impact on your life. Reflect on what laws or social norms have
been challenged, upheld, or changed, allowing for an improved
quality of life for you.
