Essay

Critical Thinking
Social movements often explode with emotion and commitment for some cause. That is, they often rally around what people are AGAINST. The integrity and longevity of the movement is clear until whatever the movement is against is removed. At that point, movements splinter and dissolve because there is little or no consensus about what people are FOR. Is this inevitable or is there a solution? How easy do you think it is to turn a movement into a political party? The Polish Solidarity movement might be a useful example for you to examine.
