Mention and Question

In fact, since the social movement is taking place in our country,
I read more intensively.There are many interests in the social movement.
I think the social movement should be focused on solving this interest.
During this process,never do violece acting.
But these days, even if social movements occur, it has a result that does not change. So how can social movements have a practical effect in these days?
