Technology and social change seem to go hand-in-hand. But do they? Use what Tufekci presents in Online Social Change: Easy to Organize, Hard to Win, and what you've learned in CH 16 to discuss the ways technology may help OR hinder social change, especially change toward racial justice. What do you think the future holds for the relationship between technology and social change?
Disasters, like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires, etc. lead to short-term, observable social change. How can we see COVID-19 as a disaster? How has our society changed? How is the change resisted? (Consider Tragedy of the Commons and Aspects of Collective Behavior videos and 'Moral Panic' reading). What do you think life will look like after this passes?
What does the future look like? Do you adopt a positive or negative outlook, or somewhere in between? How is the now informing your outlook? (See Ferris and Stein 2020:467 for an overview on this.)
