The correct answer is B. Transcending the conventions of society by living in solitude.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau was an American writer that belonged to the transcendentalism movement; this movement supported the idea purity is in the individual and nature while society was corrupt. One of the works from Thoreus that supports this idea is "Walden" because this non-fictional book explains the way Thoreau spends around two years living in a cabin near to Walden pond and through this experience of solitude and connection with nature, and himself he reaches some purity that makes him transcend to understand better society. According to this, the main point of this book is the solitude to understand society or "transcending the conventions of society by living in solitude".

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.
