Is Social Change Possible?
I. When it comes to actually developing ideas about social change, the cycle first starts within the individual, and then a coalition for social change may be formed. Ideas SPECIFICALLY about social justice grow and develop by first recognizing the problem. Subsequently, people must believe that change really is possible. Moreover, the common cycle of cynicism over such matters must be broken. Furthermore, one must look toward a new vision. Lastly, a coalition for social change starts.
II. Ideas about social change grow and develop by first recognizing that there is a problem.
When people talk about unequal situation and begin to develop feelings that the situation is not fair, they are more likely to do something about it.
“But is this entirely fair? Even if we somehow leveled socioeconomic disparities, the winners of the race would still be the fastest runners, due in part to a natural lottery.” (Arora, 89)
Pursuing this further, as Arora did, people will start to question the legitimacy of a system and how society socially constructs its reality.
Arora recognized the unfair problems in the economic system and began to consider various solutions. “The problem in the U.S. is not that a minority has grown super rich, but that for decades now, it has done so to the detriment of the lower social class” (Arora 90)
Wasik started small--- he communicated his idea by sending out emails to set up flash mobs to get people to follow him. He gained publicity through interviews. The feedback popularized the idea.
III. People must believe that change really is possible.
People often do not believe changes are possible, or sometimes people do not believe it is necessary for a number of reasons.
People sometimes do not realize that the existing circumstances are hazardous. This is why talking about it (as mentioned in paragraph two, bulletpoint 1) is so important.
