	IS SOCIAL CHANGE MEDIA A DELUSION? - California Newsreel at 30 and 2000
		Social change filmmaking has evidently not outgrown its original self-infatuation as a free-standing theatrical or television presentation; it seems unwilling to become a self-effacing partner in movements for social change.
		Social change media, in contrast, wants to direct its audiences back to their own world; it addresses them not as passive viewers but potentially active participants in civic society.
		Social change media therefore is committed not to its own self-expression but to faciliataing the discourse of communities joined around social change.

	I. Wallerstein, "SOCIAL CHANGE? Change is eternal. Nothingever changes."
		Social scientists will not be ready to accept a basic reorientation of their view of social change without being first convinced that they will not thereby lose the raison d'être of social science.
		Our task as social scientists is to analyze such historical systems, that is, to demonstrate the nature of their division of labor, to uncover their organizing principles, to describe the functioning of their institutions, and to account for the system's historical trajectory, including both its genesis and its demise.
		Instead of calling this fundamental change "the rise of the West," as is usually and self-servingly done, I would designate it myself as "the moral collapse of the West." Since however capitalism, once given its head, is indeed a very dynamic system, it rapidly took hold and eventually swept the entire planet into its orbit.

	Social Change in Amish Society
		Social change exists in Amish society but, while the Amish condone social change when needed, most Amish, according to Aaron, would rather see society remain simple, with as little change from the past as possible, and focused on obedience to God, not worship of material possessions.
		This change from farming, according to Aaron, was caused by a growing population of Amish and the crowding of Lancaster County.
		That some social changes are mandated in the realm of the church, and other control of life and change is determined by the family at the micro level, is another factor that Aaron attributed to social change.

		The communication for social change approach encourages a process of public and private dialogue through which people define who they are, what they want and how they can get it.

		One challenge for communication for social change work is knowing when a community or institution is in a state of ‘readiness’ for taking a communication for social change approach.

	Is social change always gradual?
		Sudden, abrupt changes are seen as disruptions in a "normally" functioning society.
		But to attribute all change as an accumulation of smaller, gradual changes flies in the face of reality.
		Under capitalism, that contradiction is manifested periodically in the fact that the system goes into an economic crisis where it can’t feed people or put them to work--that it produces vast wealth on the one hand and vast misery on the other.

	SOCIAL CHANGE AND RELIGION: THINKING BEYOND SECULARIZATION PERSPECTIVES
		Mid-20th century social theory described emergent modernity in terms of the progressive growth in scale and differentiation of social institutions and the compartmentalization and specialization of the social roles of persons (Parsons, 1963; Smelser, 1966)--also the touchstones of neosecularization theory.
		Our point is that much of the current controversy concerning religion is about changes in the on-going fates of the predominant social forms of religion, that emerged in modern societies as late in human history as the 1500s.
		Change on these three levels interacts and proceeds at a very slow rate; the sociocultural equivalent of glacial change.

		An industrial model of social change assumes that if you grow sectors and remove barriers, you will increase participation and resolve or reduce social problems.

	Psych. Jurisprudence/Radical Social Change
		Others have noted the importance of social change to increase empowerment (Rappaport, 1981, 1987), cooperation (Kohn, 1986), distributive justice (Deutsch, 1985), and resistance to unjust authority (Kelman and Hamilton, 1989) and to decrease consumerism and materialism (Wachtel, 1983) and "surplus powerlessness" (M. Lerner, 1986).
		Social Science in Law (SSL), he noted, "is based at least implicitly on reverance for the moral values that underlie the Constitution (e.g., autonomy, privacy, and equality) and respect for the law as an institution that reifies our sense of community, values that also are basic to ethics in psychology" (1990, p.
		Thus, although the values laid out by psychological jurisprudence are a good starting point in advocating social change, the focus should incorporate the more sweeping critiques by psychologists who have related their psychological theory to the political society around them.

		Inspired by such examples of love within social change, we seek to support people in making the process of social change itself be a model by living consistently with the goal of a world where everyone’s needs are valued.
