WU Wk 3 Getting Involved with A Cause & Social Movements Discussion

I’m working on a sociology question and need an explanation to help me learn.

By Day 2

Post a response to the Discussion Spark post. Your response should contain at least two significant paragraphs. Read the Discussion Rubric, as it will inform your writing. Important Note: The Discussion Spark and the weekly Discussion topic below will be graded together. You will see one score in your My Grades area.

By Day 4

Post a response of 2 or 3 paragraphs that includes brief descriptions of the three movements you selected. Explain the common factors or conditions that contributed to the start of each movement. Select one movement and explain why it was successful in making a social change impact. Include contributing factors for the movement’s sustainability.

Support your assertions by making at least two references, in proper APA format, to your course readings.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

By Day 7

Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ postings in one or both of the following ways:

• Respectfully disagree with your colleague about one or more of the contributing factors posted by discussing and supporting a different perspective.
• Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight on why movements are successful in making a social change impact.

Week 3: Spark QUESTION

In the Week 3 Resources there is a video called, “Exploring social issues that become social movements”.

In the beginning of the video Dr. McCormick tells us about a time when she felt the need to get involved with a cause. Describe a similar time in your life and how you felt before and after.
