Choose one recent social movement, like Occupy Wall Street, Kony2012, Anonymous, anti-SOPA activists, or another one of your choice. Analyze this movement in terms of social network theories and compare/contrast the movement with Malcolm Gladwell’s (and other critics’) criticism of social media. Form a thesis and defend it as you analyze the movement. In other words, this is an essay, not a report. Do not simply explain what the movement is and how it works.
