Book cover Handbook of Social Movements Across Disciplines

Part of the book series: Handbooks of Sociology and Social Research ((HSSR))

Abstract

Sociological research emphasizes how social institutions, such as the family, religion, corporations, and governments, influence people’s choices about how they live. While acknowledging that individuals have some freedom to pursue different paths, sociologists argue that this freedom is limited in important ways by forces outside the control of individuals. Sociology, therefore, asks how these broader forces operate to affect the actions and beliefs of individuals and groups. As the editors have noted, sociological research on social movements can be classified as adopting either a structural or cultural emphasis. While the former focuses on the distribution of material resources and the organizations and institutions that govern such distribution, the latter approach emphasizes questions about how individuals and groups perceive and interpret these material conditions.
