Social Movements
Social movements are not a new phenomenon. Fundamental to all social movements is the idea of collective identity. But other factors are often at play – politics, values, emotion, tactics – which often determine whether a social movement will be a success or a failure.
The Way We Live is a comprehensive introduction to Sociology in 22 half-hour episodes. Real-world examples in each episode, called Slice of Life, focus on real people and issues and foster a better understanding of the key sociological concepts. Explore the rich tapestry, diversity, and commonality of the human experience; learn to think critically about the challenging issues of our time; and develop a solid understanding of the groups, organizations, and societies which form the contexts for "the way we live."
