Social Reality Throughout history people with money and power have had a strong role in determining social reality. When their definition of reality or the norms that the powerful have established is bothersome or unfair to a particular group of people, the oppressed may push for a change within the social structure. When a social movement occurs a group of people using various means of protest are trying to change or keep from changing society. Be it a positive or free social structure, the first element of social change is communication. By pointing out the unjustness of the system, perceived or real, to the effected group a subculture often forms, which organizes itself due to the negative force of the issue. There are direct and indirect methods to changing a social norm. Some groups use acts of violence and others resort to civil disobedience, which changes social consciousness by introducing it as the norm over time.
