Answer to Question 1

A proactive social movement arises when some people perceive that a current condition in the society is intolerable. The goal of the movement is to promote social change. A reactive social movement is organized by people who feel threatened because some condition in the society is changing. They join together to resist that change. Examples of proactive social movements include the abolitionist movement and civil rights movement. Examples of reactive social movements include the Ku Klux Klan and militia movements.
