Question 1: How would you define a social movement? What are the five types of social movements? Provide a breif description of each. Based on these descriptions, which type would the examples discussed (Black Lives Matter & Maple Spring) in class be a part of?
Question 2: How do you think white solipsism contributes to modernization theory? How is it different from dependency theory? (HINT: refer to your notes on racial capitalism, neoliberal ideologies, voluntourism & alternative spring break programs, colonialism, structural adjustment programs and systems of representation!)
Question 3: What is the myth of the age of entitlement according to Cairns? Is this myth referring to oppressive or democratic entitlements? What is the different between these types of entitlement? (BONUS: where does eco-entitlement fit into all of this?)
