There is not a single thing is permanent. Everything changes through time. Society

changes in the way individuals live. People change the way they think and behave. 5 Mallchange

and Return to Hayneville are two articles discuss about change of society and personality. In 5

Mallchange, the author, Malcolm Gladwell, talks about that the internet changed the way people

join in activism. People used to participate movement with high risk since they have to join in

physically. However, through the appearance of social media, people are able to stand for their

belief online and not attend any movement in real life. This change causes the result that the

organizations are weaker than in the past and less people are willing to sacrifice for their belief.

In another article, Gregory Orr narrative his personal story when he was young. He describes the

time when he was a teen and join in civil rights movement to support his belief. At that time, he

still stay in the organization even though he has been caught in the jail. However, he left the

organization at the end of his story because he realized that the way he sacrifice is meaningless.

He is not able to change society. Both articles discuss the social activism and personal states.

Whether personal change affect social change or social change affect personal change is

important.The relationships of social change and personal change are complex. They are

interconnected with each other, and they can both be affected by emotional status.

Personal change impact social change in the way people are easily affected by the people

around them, and when a lot of people are influenced, it became a social trend. Gladwell gave

How so? Work to make your thesis statement more specific. Also, add a sentence that begins with "however" to help add a complication to your thesis. To help make your thesis statement more specific, you might consider addressing the following Thinking Questions: o To what extent must personal change take place before meaningful change can happen on the wider, social level? o And at the same time, to what extent must social change take place before an individual can undergo meaningful personal change?

the example that “ it was McNeil who brought up the idea of a sit-in at Woolworth’s.” (Page 6)

McNeil is one of the Greensboro Four. He makes up an ideas and he persuaded his friends to do

so with him. Four of them have deep relationships. They are in the same high school and Sam

college. Gladwell describes this close relationships as strong ties which connect them tightly in a

movement. This example shows that the power of one person to change the society. McNeill is a

leader of this movement. The idea he make up could be considered as the personal change of

him. He persuaded his friends to start a protest of civil rights, and more people join in it. The

group of four gradually became greater and greater. Then it became a social change. A similar

idea indicated by Orr in his article as well. Orr tells readers that “ when I was sixteen, in my

senior year of high school, I became involved in the civil rights movement partly because I

hoped I could lose myself in that worthwhile work.” By saying this, Orr means that he wants to

escape from the tragedy in the past and he is willing to sacrifice himself to the movement. The

word “lost” reveals that he is willing to become a martyr in order to forget what happened in the

past and to achieve a meaningful life. This is also an example that changing personal thought

affect the society. The reasons Orr joined in the movement are he wants to lose himself in a busy

life and he truly believe what the movement fighting for. Personal change leads to social change

through relationships. Individuals change their mind and then they change the person who have

close relationships with them. When the group gets bigger, it becomes a social change. Strong

ties seems obviously important in this case.

Social change also affect personal change, since the belief change when they experience

more. Orr have changed his mind in this many years involved in the movement. He described

that “ I had dreamed of meaningful work and even heroic martyrdom, but here I was merely

cannon fodder.” ( page 7). In other words, Orr finds out that he thinks the way he fights for civil

This is quite general. How can you make this--the connection between the two texts and your argument--more specific?
REAGAN LOTHES

Here you could bring in an "idea" quotation defining the key term "strong ties." However, how do strong ties relate to Orr's experience? Keep working to form more direct connections between the texts by pairing quotations that have a conceptual link.

Try to be more specific, bringing in details from the texts. For example, how many people ended up joining in?
rights is meaningless, since he is only an outside agitator of the movement. He will never

become a martyr he wish to be if he keeps doing what he did. His changed his mind because he

knows more and have more experience to distinguish what things he really want to gain.

Therefore, when the people find out that the outcomes of social change disobey the willing of

them, they will change their personal thoughts directly. Gladwell indicated similar idea that “

Facebook activism succeeds not by motivating people to make a real sacrifice but by motivating

to do the things that people do when they are not motivated enough to make a real sacrifice.”

(Page 7) What Gladwell means here is that people are willing to change their mind if they agree

with the topic or if they think doing so is not too difficult for them. In this case, many people are

willing to donate online, because a lot of people doing so, Individuals tend to be alike to

surroundings. Things can have a personal change on one side but if you switch it to a social

perspective this is a way to produce a crowd or helping. Personal change affected by social

change either because they find out strongly disagree with what they believe before, or they

strongly agree a topic and willing to accept and doing so.

Both personal change and social change are affected by the emotions or thoughts of

people. The root of change is human beings, because no matter what things change it need

people physically to achieve. Orr said that “ laughing at how my life went on past this town and

blossomed into its possibilities, one of which (shining in the dark) was love.” (Page 13). One of

the reasons Orr wants to leave the organization is that he desires a lovely life. Love is the

motivation for him to change. He does not want to be a “weapon” to fight. He desires his own

life and want to live like a normal people. Same thing in the social change. The motivation of

social change is love. “It was like a fever. Everyone wants to go.”(page 2, Gladwell). As we

knowing about the background in this case, black students are discriminated in the campus. They

do not own the same rights as other white students owned. Therefore they formed a civil rights

movement to fighting for equal rights. The root of this change is also love. Those students are

pursuing a love and peace society where no violence exists. People form social activism to

change society because they see the weakness of society and want our society to become better.

Thus, we are able to conclude that the origin of both personal change and social change is love.

Love makes people and society became better.

The relationships could never be simple. Social change and personal change are

interacting with each other. Personal change affect social change because the string ties exist in

the society which means every person could affect by their close friends and every single person

consist of a whole society. Personal change also affected by social change because people gain

more knowledge and experiences through the social change and they may change their mind

because they become more informed. Finally, there is evidence to prove that both personal

change and social change are motivated by love. These change because people own love and

desire love.

This seems like a really broad and general connection. I think you can make a more specific and meaningful connection for this paragraph.
