Explanation:

Robert .k. Merton develops the Anomie theory. In this theory, most of the individuals achieved the same goal that is culturally more accepted. The state of anomie developed when the goals are blocked to the entire people. So the deviant behavior occurred in the form of rebellion, retreat, ritualism, innovation and so on.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
