A student is researching a specific social movement of their choice (for example, a climate justice movement, a disability rights movement, an Indigenous sovereignty movement, or another contemporary movement). They collect recent evidence such as the movement’s public statements, campaign materials, media coverage, and examples of supporter and opponent activity. The student wants to determine the movement’s current stage and what this suggests about its likely direction in the near future.
b. Apply your understanding of stages of social movements to explain two pieces of evidence you would expect to find if your chosen movement is currently in that stage.
