Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Social movements are actually more common in industrialized societies because the rapid social change and urbanization can lead to political and social discontent, leading to collective action and mobilization. In preindustrial societies, traditional practices and beliefs may be more culturally ingrained and accepted, making it less likely for social movements to develop.
