Question

Discuss how social media can affect social movements and social change.

Answer 1

Social media impact on social movements is significant because it's the main outlet of technology available. Social movements operate by using the technology available to them at that time. This means they tailor their strategies and messages to the media of their time so their campaign can take shape

Answer 2

One large factor of social media affecting social movements is the ways a popular individual can get sponsored and people will believe whatever it is because it is a celebrity. To elaborate, let's say Albert Einstein found a way to solve an unsolved paradox, but is fake, and was also on social media, most people will believe it because he is popular. I hope that makes sense.
