Collective Behavior and Social Movements Course Description The sociological field of collective behavior/social movements is large and diverse. Debates have continued for decades about whether a field covering such a wide range of topics should actually be considered two fields instead of one. Collective behavior is behavior in which the usual social conventions and norms no longer guide social action and people bypass established institutional patterns to form new norms spontaneously. Collective behavior refers to the actions of groups, not of individuals. Collective behavior analysts typically examine behavior ranging from fads and rumors to crowd behavior, panics, and disasters. Social movement behavior refers to behaviors associated with somewhat formal organizations established to achieve a goal that members deem important. Those who examine social movements study movements dealing with personal transformation, such as the Hare Krishnas, and with social change, such as the civil rights and the women's movements. Instead of trying to cover the diversity of the collective behavior/social movements field (which could only be done superficially in one semester), I selectively narrow the coverage in exchange for depth of understanding. Consequently, this course in collective behavior/social movements provides an introduction to the field of collective behavior before beginning a more detailed and complex examination of the field of social movements. The selection factor I use for narrowing the coverage is social change. That is, we will study collective behavior and social movements as they relate to large-scale social change. Thus, we will focus on those collective behaviors that occur within the parameters of social movement activities geared toward social change, at either the local community level or the national level.

ALL OF THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS We have come together from the social and citizens movements from all the regions of Europe, East and West, North and South. We have come together through a long process: the demonstrations of Amsterdam, Seattle, Prague, Nice, Gothenburg, Genoa, Brussels, Barcelona, the big mobilisations against neoliberalism as well as the general strikes for the defence of social rights and all the mobilisations against war, show the will to build an other Europe. At the global level we recognise the Charter of Principles of the WSF and the call of the social movements of Porto Alegre. We have gathered in Florence to express our opposition to a European order based on corporate power and neoliberalism. This market model leads to constant attacks on the conditions and rights of workers, social inequalities, and oppression of ethnic minorities, and social exclusion of the unemployed and migrants. It leads to environmental degradation, privatisation and job insecurity. It drives powerful countries to try and dominate the economies of weaker countries, often to deny them real self determination. Once more it is leading to war. We have come together to strengthen and enlarge our alliances because the construction of another Europe and another world is now urgent. We seek to create a world of equality, social rights and respect for diversity, a world in which education, fair jobs, healthcare and housing are rights for all, with the right to consume safe food products produced by farmers and peasants, a world without poverty, without sexism and oppression of women, without racism, and without homophobia. A world that puts people before profits. A world without war.

Many a campaign and crusades have been triggered off by an individual or group that has been instigated by some ‘un-natural calling’ towards social service and responsibility. What sets the ball rolling for these non-bodily crusades, rightfully called ‘movements’, is the unconditional and selfless commitment to a better living.

More titles on Informal Learning More titles on Social Change More Theories/Ideas for Practice More titles by Mae Shaw Like many other societies Scotland is facing choices in striking the balance between market and democratic definitions of citizenship, competition and co-operation, difference and solidarity, rights and responsibilities. The outcome of these choices remains open and undecided – and the prospects for human well-being deeply ambivalent. Can Scotland today pose the threat of a good example? This book is concerned with the role of adult education as an agent of progressive social and political change. Although focused on Scotland, the book is written for a wider audience and makes a distinctive contribution to the debate about the meaning and purpose of radical adult education in the contemporary world. After examining the relationship between popular education and social change, there are historical accounts of the Socialist Sunday School movement, of women’s’ struggles in and out of the Dundee jute industry, and of the experience of the Muslim community in Scotland. Other chapters cover the struggle of the disability movement for inclusion, the campaigns of the Assynt Crofters and the islanders of Eigg for self-determination, the fight for gender equality in the Scottish Parliament, and the potential contribution of trade union education, environmental politics and cultural action for the process of democratic renewal.

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Readings on Their Emergence, Mobilization, and Dynamics Doug McAdam (Editor), University of Arizona David A. Snow (Editor), University of Arizona ISBN: 0-935732-86-1 Examination Copy Purchase Book McAdam and Snow's Social Movements: Readings on Their Emergence, Mobilization, and Dynamics is intended for use in courses on social movements, collective behavior, and political sociology. The reader is distinctive in several respects: The book is organized sequentially and logically, to facilitate understanding of the dynamics of social movementsfrom their emergence, through the micromobilization process and tactical action, to outcomes and consequences. This reader is not wedded to a single approach, but exposes students to both resource mobilization and cultural thinking about social movements. Thought-provoking introductions to each section guide the reader and ease instruction by providing a modular "road map" that highlights key issues and the major contributions of each selection. This lends internal cohesiveness and structure to the articles. The book covers a wide range of social movements, including the civil rights, women's, pro-choice, and animal rights movements. Also included are works on other types of collective action, such as riots and revolution. A comprehensive appendix provides instructors with alternatives for using the selections.

88. Collective Behavior And Social Movements Collective Behavior and social movements Process and Structure Some criticsargue the field would be improved by excluding social movements from it. http://web.mit.edu/gtmarx/www/cbchap1.html

Collective Behavior and Social Movements: Process and Structure Back to Main Page Bibliography Gary T. Marx and Douglas McAdam Prentice Hall , 1994. This chapter offers a framework for the study of this ever illusive and beguiling topic which goes to the very heart of positivist efforts to understand social behavior. Such behavior is invariably characterized by the intermingling of structure and process. An earlier version (not posted here) "Conceptual Problems in the Study of Collective Behavior", is in H. Blalock (ed.), Social Theory and Social Research , Free Press 1980. Chapter I: The Study of Collective Behavior A. What Is Collective Behavior? As we review these pages for the final time sections of Los Angeles are in flames in response to a jury verdict exonerating police whose beating of an African American man was captured on videotape. Supporters and opponents of abortion take to the streets daily. Mexico City searches for answers to a gas explosion that leveled a 40 square block area. The number of men wearing pony tails and one earring and the number of people saying and understanding "yo, dude" seems to be increasing. These diverse actions fall within the area sociologists call collective behavior. Some fields in sociology are relatively easy to define and their meaning can be grasped immediately, e.g. the family, deviance, politics or organizations. Collective behavior is not one of them. It includes an enormous array of behaviors, processes, structures and contexts. It encompasses parts of many sociological sub-fields. It tends to focus on a particular kind of

The subject explores forms of action and identity associated with emerging conflicts around globalisation, both in countries of 'North' as well as the 'South'. Sociological approaches are introduced and critically examined in relation to a series of case studies: Direct Action and globalisation conflicts; the ecology movement; animal rights; the Zapatista movement in Chiapas; the Chinese student movement; Islamic youth and women's movements. The rise and decomposition of social movements is explored, as well as their relationship to other forms of action, from subcultures to terrorism.

Photo from the Women and Social Movements in the U.S. Web site. B ecause new materials are being added periodically, I should begin by saying that I viewed the site most extensively on May 7, 1999. At that point, 15 projects appeared on the site, and the overwhelming majority of them focused on the period between 1880 and 1930. Each project begins with a very clear and succinct statement of the student's research question. A project on the Lawrence Strike of 1912 , for instance, asks, "How did immigrant workers struggle to achieve an American standard of living?" Another queries, "How did African American women define their citizenship at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893? " On the page that first states the question, each student elaborates her question as well as her strategy for answering it. For instance, one author, seeking to learn how middle-class clubwomen contributed to infant and maternal health among immigrants , explains that she has mined the archive of New York City's Women's City Club to find an answer.

Feedback Porto Alegre II:Call of social movements Resistance to neoliberalism, war and militarism: for peace and social justice 1) In the face of continuing deterioration in the living conditions of people, we, social movements from all around the world, have come together in the tens of thousands at the second World Social Forum in Porto Alegre. We are here in spite of the attempts to break our solidarity. We come together again to continue our struggles against neoliberalism and war, to confirm the agreements of the last Forum and to reaffirm that another world is possible. 2) We are diverse - women and men, adults and youth, indigenous peoples, rural and urban, workers and unemployed, homeless, the elderly, students, migrants, professionals, peoples of every creed, colour and sexual orientation. The expression of this diversity is our strength and the basis of our unity. We are a global solidarity movement, united in our determination to fight against the concentration of wealth, the proliferation of poverty and inequalities, and the destruction of our earth. We are living and constructing alternative systems, and using creative ways to promote them. We are building a large alliance from our struggles and resistance against a system based on sexism, racism and violence, which privileges the interests of capital and patriarchy over the needs and aspirations of people.
