WHEN IT GOES OFF.....

 This article is talking about the huge protest that was going on in London. There was an unfairness about the murder and a lot of people were very angry about the whole trail think. Robert was the main character of the article and he really wanted his friends to experience this group interaction. There were so many people and and there were so many police trying to control the crowd however it was difficult to do it because there were soo many angry people. The social factors in this article are: Structural constructiveness is that there was a huge protest goin on. Social strain is that a lot of people were were at the same place at the same time. Growth and spread of a generalized belief is that so many people that were affected by it. It started by the one person and it started spreading around the other person. Precipitating factor is that there were many people that got upset.   The murder got them very upset and the unfairness by the trail got them even more upset. Mobilization of participants for action is that people are getting effected by the action of others. Inadequate social control is the all the policeman and all the people are trying to control this huge upset group.
This article have a very good understand on the protest and the different social factors.
