How have different social movements exploited or used their ideas of political efficacy to effect social change? How have ideas about political efficacy in the United States changed from social movement to social movement? In your opinion, has

political efficacy increased or decreased over time? Is this due to a change in the factors that give rise to social movements? Include at least three social movements over time in your discussion.

What will be an ideal response?

An ideal response will:
1, Explain how political efficacy influenced at least three different social movements and the actions of people involved in those movements. Explain in their view how political efficacy ultimately resulted in social change.
2, Discuss how political efficacy has changed over time and across movements (again, using at least three different movements to support the answer). Explain why political efficacy has increased or decreased over time. The discussion should include an application of at least one of the factors that encourage social movements.
