Cultural Conflicts and the Great Awokening

This chapter examines the historical roots and narratives of the Great Awokening, asserting that the cultural shifts observed since 2010 are part of a broader cyclical pattern influenced by earlier movements from the 1960s and beyond. By analyzing media trends and significant events like Occupy Wall Street, it critiques the motivations and demographics behind modern social movements such as Black Lives Matter and Me Too. The chapter argues for a deeper understanding of the disconnect between the movements' goals and the backgrounds of their leaders, revealing complexities within contemporary activism.
