Then, begin thinking about social changes you have experienced more recently in your own life.

- Discuss a social change that you have experienced. Describe how this change impacted society as a whole and your own individual behaviors.
- Was the social change positive or negative in your perspective?
- Did your life get easier or harder-simplified or more complicated?
- Has it been positive or negative for society?
- Research a non-Western culture, and identify a recent social movement or social change they have experienced.
- Describe the social change/movement, and how the social change impacted their society.
- Discuss how globalization may or may not have impacted their social change. For example, consider how other societies may have influenced the social movement/change you identified OR how the social movement/change you identified impacted other societies, outside of its own.
- Was the change well received or protested by the majority of social members in that society? Include examples and references to support your analysis.
