Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Choose the statement (s) that highlights the difference between social movements and other forms of collective behaviors such as fads and fashions.

A: Crowds and social movements have lasting and more significant effects and last for a longer period of time than fads and fashions. B: Crowds and social movements are organized with a common goal, and may even be led by a leader, whereas fads and fashions have neither a common goal nor a leader. C: Crowds and social movements are more structured and involve people in physical contact, whereas in fads and fashions people may not be in close contact.

Answer:

A: Crowds and social movements have lasting and more significant effects and last for a longer period of time than fads and fashions.

C: Crowds and social movements are more structured and involve people in physical contact, whereas in fads and fashions people may not be in close contact.

Explanation:

A social movement is a well-structured organization that integrates the combination of different social organizations and different people who work in search of a single objective, usually directed to a social cause. Because it needs to have a well-defined structure, this type of social organization is established with direct contact between people, usually through crowds that impose physical contact.

Fads and fashions, on the other hand, are passing organizations, which renew quickly and do not have such a well-defined and established structure, due to their changeable character. Although it presents some kind of direct contact, technological advances allow this type of organization to be made without physical contact between people.
