Social Network Activism and the internet

Movements could make better use of social activism by broadcasting strikes and marches on their page so people can see the efforts they are making in their movement. Also, making a website about the movement would be helpful too, for example social activism could devote a part of the website to provide background information on the movement. Background information would include answers to questions like how did the movement form when did it start and why is it necessary to have the movement. They can also use the internet to create flash mobs and post notifications for meetings so everybody will show up and you can post updated information about the movement too. These uses of the website could get larger groups of people more acquainted with the activism that is occurring and it can allow people who have interest in the movement to get involved and help it. Also it can organize meetings and emergency situations faster.

Forms of social network activism

I have not participated in any social movement before but I do feel that there have been many movements before my time that I would have participated in. For example, i would have been an avid participant in the civil rights movement if I were alive during that time because I believe in the equality for all in a society and all that it does for people. I would also be involved in Mahatma Ghandi's peace movement if I were alive during that time because I believe that violence isn't always the best way to handle a situation. It is movements like these that I would participate in because they have true meanings attached to them and they are movements that I can relate to personally.

 Martin Luther King's influential speeches and marches combined with the cause that these people were fighting for would have inspired me to get involved if I lived during their time.

Mahatma Ghandi's self control and intellect in his speeches and writings would also have drawn me to his movement if lived during his time
