Answer to Question 2

Resource mobilization theory focuses on the ability of members of a social movement

to acquire resources and mobilize people in order to advance their cause. Resources

include money, people's time and skills, access to the media, and material goods such

as property and equipment. Assistance from outsiders is essential for social

movements. For example, reform movements are more likely to succeed when they

gain the support of political and economic elites. Resource mobilization theory is based

on the assumption that participants in social movements are rational people. According

to sociologist Charles Tilly, movements are formed and dissolved, mobilized and

deactivated based on rational decisions about the goals of the group, available

resources, and the cost of mobilization and collective action. Resource mobilization

theory also assumes that participants must have some degree of economic and political

resources to make the movement a success. In other words, widespread discontent

alone cannot produce a social movement adequate resources and motivated people are

essential to any concerted social action.
