Answer to Question 1

There appear to be identifiable stages in virtually all movements that

succeed beyond their initial phase of development.

(1) In the preliminary (or incipiency) stage widespread unrest is present as people begin to

become aware of a problem. At this stage, leaders emerge to agitate others into taking

action.

(2) In the coalescence stage, people begin to organize and to publicize the problem. At this

stage, some movements become formally organized at local and regional levels.

(3) In the institutionalizatio n (or bureaucratization) stage, an organizational structure

develops, and a paid staff (rather than volunteers) begins to lead the group. When the

movement reaches this stage, the initial zeal and idealism of members may diminish as

administrators take over management of the organization. Early grassroots supporters may

become disillusioned and drop out; they may also start another movement to address some

as-yet-unsolved aspect of the original problem.
