In a couple of sentences, describe an instance when you purchased an impulse item at the grocery store. Include the reasons that influenced your decision making process.

One day I was walking into Walmart purchasing groceries. As I'm almost done buying groceries, I see this big sign, probably 24 x 36 poster saying," Buy two candy bars, get one free"! In my head, I was like, you know what, I came in here having a goal of not buying any impulse purchases. As I'm at the checkout isle now, I still was thinking about those delicious, scrumptious, candy bars. So I ran back to the candy isle and picked up 2 snicker bars and 1 payday bar. My reasons for doing this was not only was in the mood for a candy bar, but I have two siblings at home who are doing an amazing job on there homework every night, not asking my parents for help or myself and getting A+'s and B+'s on everything, I thought I reward them.

Hope this helps!

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.
