Your friend matthew is a very busy guy who is becoming concerned with his weight and health. because he is so busy, he often stops to grab a fast-food dinner. when you tell him that fast-food meals are not conducive to losing weight, he replies that "it's just this one burger." what advice would you give him?

One of the biggest reasons why people struggle to lose weight is lack of discipline. Even one occasional burger can have a significant impact because it breaks the habit of healthy eating. If this is a behaviour that he shows often, it is not conducive to his goal of being healthy.

A good solution would be to find alternatives that he could prepare easily and would not take him a lot of time. Alternatively, he could still eat out but try to find something that is more balanced and nutritional.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
