alyssa always wakes up right when the sun starts to shine into her bedroom window. shortly after she wakes up, alyssa coughs. why it is wrong to assume that there is a correlation between the sun and alyssa's cough? a. she may like to feel the sun shining through the window. b. she may not mind coughing in the morning. c. there may another way to determine if she has a bad cough. d. there may be other factors affecting whether she coughs.

The correct answer is D. There may be other factors affecting whether she coughs.

Explanation:

In general terms, two or more events occurring at the same time or nearly at the same time do not necessarily imply they are related or one causes the other. Indeed, considering that one event is the cause of another just because it occurs at the same time is a type of logical fallacy. This implies, in the case of Alyssa it is wrong to assume her cough and the sun are related because two events that occur at the same time are not necessarily connected and therefore in this case "there may be other factors affecting whether she coughs" which disproves the idea that both events are directly linked.

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.
