According to French Sociologist Allain Touraine’s analysis (Self Production of Society1977)
“social movements may develop spontaneously to achieve desired social changes rather than being responses to
situations.”
“there are more social movements today because people know that social activism can
be used to achieve change; rational objectives and strategies regarding how
injustices can be overcome; interaction in the shaping of social movements.”
