Question

A great many students and office-workers around the world go to work only for five or six days and rest on the weekends. Yet, very few people who relax on their day off realise that this holiday is the outcome of a long struggle by workers. That the work-day should not exceed eight hours, that men and women should be paid equally for doing the same work, that workers are entitled to social security and pension - these and many other rights were gained through social movements. Social movements have shaped the world we live in and continue to do so.

Based on the given passage, answer the following question.

Social movements is an important subject matter of sociology because-

1. These protests were perceived by elites as a major threat to the established order of society.
2. ‘crowd’ and the ‘mob’ were not made up of anarchic hooligans out to destroy society. Instead, they too had a ‘moral economy’.
3. Public resorted to protest because they had no other way of expressing their anger and resentment against deprivation.
4. There was an anxiety among people to maintain the prevailing social order.
