One of the most common riot trends has invariably been witnessed between the Republicans and Democrats during elections. The riots have always been seen each time the U.S has national elections and one party loss to the other. Supporters march to the streets in protest, a norm which could be expressed better with the emergent theory. The theory suggests that individuals behave due to the emergence of new reaction in response to the impulsive crisis (Chambliss, William, " Daina, p 10). The crisis thus is that each party feels to have been rigged out of the elections when they lose. The struggle has been real, each election year the trend continues. People particularly participate in these riots due to their unwavering political stands. They believe that their presidential candidate had the best advantage to take over leadership. However, it always turns to be the unexpected.
Social movements often happen in many nations and are great forces that push for social changes. The conditions which make it possible for the movements to occur include political, social, cultural, and economic instabilities (Stewart et al., p 20). Under such circumstances, individuals try to bring about changes in these areas that affect their normal daily lives. One of the greatest movements is a revolutionary movement. It happens when people seek to overthrow their current government and place a new one. Such could be due to poor governance, and the people feel mistreated by the government. Another movement which has been witnessed is reactionary movement, which tries to bur social changes or reversing the social changes which have been achieved readily. For instance, there was reaction movement towards abortion after the Supreme Court permitted most abortion. Individuals considered it a poor decision having termed abortion to be illegal.
