Social movements would probably be much more effective if they kept to their main goals rather than broadening their goals. The social movements that seem to really make a difference are the ones that have a single main goal in which a large percentage of society can happily back up. Unfortunately this rarely happens, because “as social movements grow, they tend to incorporate more groups with a broader range of goals and more diverse tactics” (Meyer, 425). As the number of goals grows, the people of the movement get distracted with the smaller goals, which can allow for the original goals to get shot down easier.
