Movements for social change are products, producers and resolvers of
conflict.  By joining together to bring about change, their members affirm the positive,
creative role that conflict can play in calling attention to injustices, applying pressure
to support needed social changes, reinforcing progressive values, halting censorship
and retaliation, and resolving the chronic, systemic sources of social conflict.  Yet
these same movements are often plagued with their own internal conflicts, which are
routinely handled in negative and socially regressive ways. 
Internal conflicts in social movements are commonly resolved using a range
of highly destructive methods, including avoidance, apathy, accommodation,
screaming, suppression, enforced silence, personal insults, mass resignations,
gossip, ostracism, unnecessary splitting, sectarian behaviors, angry denunciations
and public humiliation, none of which maintain unity, encourage principled
opposition, or demonstrate an ability to solve larger social problems. The emotions
that occur naturally in the course of these conflicts are frequently repressed -- partly
in deference to a higher goal, political ideal or principle, or immediate practical
priorities; partly out of disrespect for subjective weakness, which can be seen as a
form of political vacillation; and partly out of a fear of cooptation and capitulation. 

Impact of ICT in Various International Events

 The tide of mass protests that swept through the Middle East in early
2011 highlighted the distinct role of modern information-communication
technologies (ICT) and digital social media tools and networks. The
SDO_HUMSS-TNCTC_Grade 11/12_Q1_LP 4
1
 impact of these technologies was felt globally, affecting both developed
and developing nations, if not in the same way. While the “Arab Spring”
may point to a phenomenon of new mass forms of sociopolitical protest
facilitated by social media networks, particularly in regard to their
organizational and communication aspects, it should also produce
some major reservations about the applicability of any” direct lessons”
to other regional and sociopolitical contexts.
 This phenomenon in the Arab world was inadvertently sparked by
Mohammad Bouazazi, a street vendor in Tunisia who set himself on
fire in 2010 to protest after a council inspector confiscated his
vegetable stall. News about this spread and others saw this as an
opportunity to protest against the larger socioeconomic ills of the
country. Soon, the ensuing riots overthrew the dictatorship of the
president.
 The Arab Spring, as what it is now known, brought about
destabilization and disturbed the order in some Arab authoritarian
countries particularly Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen. Several
awakenings, protests, and uprisings erupted in many Arab countries in
the years that followed.

Occupy Wall Street

 Twitter became a forum where the participants shared information and

interacted with one another. At the local level, Occupy protesters used
Twitter to communicate sensitive information about the protests and
police actions.
 Through Twitter, a group capable of collective framing process which
provided the social movement with shared languages, purpose, and
identity was formed. Other people around the world copied the Occupy
protest success and staged their own versions in what was later known
as the Occupy Movement.

Terrorism

 Extremists and terrorist groups have also used ICT, especially

websites, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, to further illegal and
destructive acts and recruit members and adherents.

Cyberterrorism

 Unlawful threats of attack against computers, networks, and the

information stored therein to intimidate or coerce a government and its
people in furtherance of political or social objectives.
 Attacks against critical information infrastructures such as energy,
transportation, and financial and government operations.
 Attacks primarily aimed at monetary profit.
 The cyberspace is said to have allowed asymmetric or unbalanced
warfare between, on the one hand, the perpetuators such as
extremists, terrorist groups, and cyber criminals having the capability to
inflict damage; and, on the other hand, the unsuspecting, naïve public.

SUMMARY:
SDO_HUMSS-TNCTC_Grade 11/12_Q1_LP 4
2
 The leadership structure of the traditional sociopolitical movements vary from
that of e-movements. While traditional movements possess a centralized, vertically
hierarchical command structure, e-movements have a horizontal and decentralized
structure. Leaders have more liberty to act and may not necessarily be politically
engaged. Many leaders of e-movements are computer experts responsible for
starting a full blown e-movement. Information and communications technology
enables groups and movements, big and small alike, to prosper and attain success
in promoting their causes even without a centralized and hierarchical structure. The
horizontal, decentralized, and flat structure facilitates the development of
sociopolitical movements whose interconnections are based on common
sociopolitical concerns, interests, and goals.
