Suppose that the price of a donut is $1 each. lorena is willing to pay $2 for the first donut, ricky is willing to pay $1.80 for the second donut, jennifer is willing to pay $1.50 for the third donut, and betty is willing to pay $1.20 for the fourth donut. in equilibrium, what is the total consumer surplus from the consumption of donuts?

The answer is $2.5

Explanation:

First donut surplus

$2- $1= $1

Second donut surplus

$1.80 -$ 1= $0.80

Third donut surplus

$1.50 -$ 1= $0.50

Fourth donut surplus

$1.20 - $1= $0.20

Total surplus = $1 + $0.80 +$0.50 + $0.20 = $2.5

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.
