Social change

Independent action vs interdependent actions (behavior)

Collective practices for religious people who follow those practices: child marriage

Is a collective action socially motivated? Behavior is not motivated by what other people do (umbrella

Interdependent behavior (ex. traffic) – coordination, interdependent action to avoid trouble, mutual
expectation, behavior determined about what we think about the others and what they expect from us,
centralized agencies can coordinate people’s expectations
