Section 1 Social change: new societal behaviors with important long term consequences that are adopted by members of society Social processes: a series of steps that leads to change on a societal level Discovery: a process in which something is learned or reinterpreted Invention: the creation of something new from previously existing items or processes Diffusion: the process by which one culture or society borrows something such as norms, values, foods, styles, or architecture from another culture or society Technology: knowledge and hardware (tools) that are used to achieve practical goals Revolution: a sudden and complete overthrow of an existing social or political order War: organized, armed conflict that occurs within a society or between nations

Diffusion An example of this is the Westernization of Middle Eastern countries. Western influences include food, clothing, and music. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/socst/grade3/geoimages/Image16.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/socst/grade3/geograph.html&usg=__gDuF8kLyFg51aCoV1qbOCV1_PsY=&h=389&w=500&sz=83&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=hvx9bnK58kN6aM:&tbnh=101&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcultural%2Bdiffusion%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMQ_enUS307US307%26sa%3DX%26um%3D1

Section 2 Equilibrium: a state of functioning and balance maintained by a society’s tendency to make small adjustments to change Urbanism: the distinctive way of life shared by the people living in the city http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.gothamgazette.com/graphics/yaro1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gothamgazette.com/article/fea/20060417/202/1819&usg=__33zaV3EQvL4Gqy47h9H-Cf66NQQ=&h=312&w=445&sz=175&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=NBRkqmODPfAPzM:&tbnh=89&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnew%2Byork%2Bpeople%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMQ_enUS307US307%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1

Section 3   Collective behavior: the spontaneous behavior of a group of people responding to similar stimuli Collectivity: the collection of people who do not normally interact and who do not share clearly defined norms Dispersed collectivity: a collectivity made of people who are not physically connected, they are widely scattered, but who follow common rules or respond to common stimuli Rumor: a widely circulating piece of information that is not verified as being true or false Urban legend: a moralistic tale that focuses on current concerns and fears of the city or suburb dweller, they are passed along by people who swear that the story happened to someone they knew or an acquaintance Fad: an unusual behavior pattern that spreads rapidly, embraced zealously, and disappears quickly Fashion: a widely accepted behavior pattern that changes periodically Mass hysteria: the collective anxiety created by the acceptance of one or more false beliefs Panic: the reaction of people to a real threat in fearful, anxious, and often self-damaging ways Crowd: a temporary collection of people who share an immediate common interest Mob: an emotionally stimulated, disorderly crowd that is ready to use destructiveness and violence to achieve a specific purpose Riot: an episode of largely random destruction and violence carried out by a crowd Contagion theory: theory stating that members of crowds stimulate each other to higher and higher levels of emotion and irrational behavior Emergent norm theory: theory stating norms develop to guide crowd behavior, stresses similarities between social and crowd behavior Convergence theory: theory that states that crowds are formed by people who deliberately congregate with like- minded others

Fad A fad is an example of collective behaviors. An example of a fad is the pet rock of the 80s. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://greenlanternpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/petrock.jpg&imgrefurl=http://greenlanternpress.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/alternative-is-to-commercial-as-rock-collection-is-to-pet-rock/&usg=__3hh_Y006yBkh5_8pms8Dw-makIs=&h=391&w=292&sz=18&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=nLJAJNxG_Rv8yM:&tbnh=123&tbnw=92&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpet%2Brock%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMQ_enUS307US307%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1

An recent example of a riot is the 1992 LA Riots http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.kang.org/images/9Riotbucket.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kang.org/LARiot.html&usg=__CcxE2WJJwimBaWjWUlbxnTHjD58=&h=408&w=576&sz=104&hl=en&start=3&um=1&tbnid=ZbjYMPPEyLGH_M:&tbnh=95&tbnw=134&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dla%2Briot%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMQ_enUS307US307%26sa%3DG%26um%3D1

Section 4 Social movement: a movement whose goal is to promote or prevent social change; the most structured, rational, and enduring form of collective behavior Revolutionary movement: a social movement that attempts to change the total structure of society Reformative movement: a social movement that attempts to make limited changes in society Redemptive movement: a social movement that seeks to change people completely Alternative movement: a social movement that focuses on bringing about limited changes in people Value-added theory: theory holding that certain conditions must exist for social movements to occur Resource mobilization theory: theory of social movements that focuses on the use of resources to achieve goals

Social Movement A prominent example of Social Movement is the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https://hrlibrary.wikispaces.com/file/view/civil_rights_movement.jpeg&imgrefurl=https://hrlibrary.wikispaces.com/7Women--Societal%2BRoles&usg=__MqR1TRfNdCDw6SV4vD9n-4t3DZA=&h=379&w=550&sz=81&hl=en&start=2&um=1&tbnid=aIW2SBGwcNe-qM:&tbnh=92&tbnw=133&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcivil%2Brights%2Bmovement%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1C1CHMQ_enUS307US307%26um%3D1
