Abstract
When one endeavors to study sociology within the context of our society, we must view it and assess it in relation to the social infrastructures that are already in place. This in no small way means that politics needs to be a contributing factor. This is even more relevant in the discussion of social movements. Often people or groups assemble and mobilize to create a social movement in direct response to a particular political issue. As such, we very much need to consider politics in our study of sociology and social movements, because politics dictates the conditions under which a social movement is founded or operating under. Many have argued that one of the key barriers faced by social movements today (and one of the main obstacles to positive social change) is the apathy, cynicism and political disengagement of ordinary citizens.
