There is a logic to social movements, which brings up the same problems of collective action, namely the free-rider problem. People have an incentive to free-ride as well, if civil rights legislation is passed it will benefit all minority groups affected, but there is still a tendency not to contribute assistance and to allow someone else to do the work of providing this benefit
This small paragraph reminds me of the Welfare System. I do think the welfare system is in place for the to assist families for a small period of time.I also feel that some people take full advantage of the system and do want a free ride. they get used to having is best to allow the minorities to speak out and for what they need for social justice, and equality in today's society. I think the rich and lets say the powerful people of politics don' allow minorities to speak up and to say what they need to say. I feel the way the system is up now its a little difficult. Lets say that even with the presidential candidates , such a Donald trump things are a little insane with his feelings towards minorities. The way he feels about minorities , immigrants and their overall being of living in the US is degrading. I think civil rights and legislation may help minorities but i also think a lot of things come into play as well.
