There are Different theories on what triggers social change but the main ones are Evolutionary theory, conflict theory and functionalist theories. The social change theories provide a framework on which the social movement in Syria can be explained. According to the evolutionary theory society naturally evolves into higher levels with time hence resulting to social change. The public has become aware of its social and economic problems. In its quest to better its living standards grassroots oppositions have become more vocal .This is clearly evident in the social movement of Syria. The social movement hopes to achieve radical reforms which include democracy, improved living conditions both socially and economically. In line with the evolutionary theory all societies undergo the same stages of change the ultimate results will vary from one society and the other. Syria’s social movement revolution hopes the violence and protest will invoke change .Drawing examples from Libya and Egypt which have undergone similar revolutions and the success of the Democratic Republic of Turkey. Syria hopes to achieve similar or even better results in terms of better social and economic reforms. The conflict theory suggests that social change is invoked by the increased awareness on the social inequalities and injustices. Society’s wealthy and powerful ensures the laws favour their interests to the detriment of the poor. The arising conflict is an attempt to bridge the gap through equitable distribution of wealth and improved living conditions. Syria’s social movement clearly brings out the fact that conflict is necessary for social change and reforms. This affirms Marx’s view of the need for conflict for social change to occur. The conflict theory can therefore explain Syria’s crisis and its consequential social movement with Turkey success strengthening its resolve to forge on. The Tea Party is a social movement whose core issues are reduced taxes, reduced government spending and curbing the rising national debt among other reforms. It has organized protests in a bid to rally for its course but more recently the movement has recruited sponsored Republican. The movement is more of a reformist social movement than revolutionary. It seeks to bring change in various aspects but is not in complete disapproval of the administration. The movement goes way back and is seen to seek gradual change rather than radical reforms as would be the case in a revolution. Its opposition against the Health Bill proposed by the Obama administration is among its many protests though it apparently fails to provide a practical solution. The Tea Party‘s move to sponsor Republican candidates deems it a political movement. It hopes to enact reforms by recruiting and supporting candidates in the national elections. This clearly indicates that it may be a formidable voice in America but to hasten the reforms the movement’s opinion and interest must be clearly represented in the government therefore seeking reforms from within the government. The movement’s main attention has now shifted to reform the health insurance and health care delivery. It has also protested against key areas which it thinks should be amended for a better America. The Tea party movement mainly seeks reforms unlike a revolution which is mainly characterised by radical changes and violence arising from the conflict. The Tea Partyis arguably a reformist movement which may borrow a few tips from the American Revolution but little likelihood of it blossoming into a revolution in the future
