social income class and gender class

Explanation:

1) Social income class; social income class is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not someone graduates from high school. A household that has a higher income can afford the best educational resources in raising their children to graduation rates while a family or individual that is below the middle class income will struggle in trying to keep up.

2) Gender class; this varies from culture to culture. Some culture(especially third world countries) believe that women don't deserve furthering their education, while men are placed ahead and are allowed to further to the highest level of education

An individuals social location has a role to play in determining how well they perform in achieving much in their academic. Social location is defined as the combination of factors including gender, race, social class, age, ability, religion, sexual orientation, and geographic location. An individual coming from a background where he has little or no resources will find it hard in coping in education as he or she won't have access to some materials needed for succeeding.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
