Ond, in your own view, what role (if any) does Black Nationalism havetoday? Is this a relevant philosophy for social change in the United States? Why or why not? Be sure to support your answer with clear example

Even though black nationalism helped the abolition of race segregation, its role in modernity is only commemorative. It is also irrelevant and would propitiate racial segregation because it only looks to empower one minority and separate it from the rest. Because it does what it looked like to prevent and disappear, segregation.

Explanation:

First of all, nowadays the role of black Nationalism is only commemorative and even though it provided society a great benefit, it is outdated to modern society because inclusion, multiversity, and equality are promoted and sought effectively. It is irrelevant to our philosophical and social state because by only working towards the benefit of a certain minority it performs what it sought to eliminate. The segregation of minorities, today we live in a very integrated and cooperative society that has overcome movements to empower minorities. We don't have a perfect society but all of the social groups are equally valued and protected by law. Therefore, it is an outdated ideology.

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.
