METHODOLOGY OF UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL MOVEMENTS WITH THE EMPHASIS ON THE MOVEMENTS “OCCUPY WALL STREET” AND “TEA PARTY”

Summary/Abstract: History of the United States records a large number of social movements, moreover, this state was founded due to a movement that emerged as a protest against English colonialists. After World War II, large social movements appeared such as: the Women’s Rights Movement, the Workers Movement, the Peace Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, the Human Rights Movement, the Movement against Nuclear Weapons, the Ecological / Environmental Movement, the Movement against the Death Penalty, the Anti-Global Movement, the Abortion-Rights Movement, the anti-Abortion Movement and LGBT Support Movement. In doing so, one should not forget the Tea Party movement that appeared on the US social and political scene in 2009 as a reaction by the Republicans and conservatives to the election of Barack Obama for the first African-American president of the United States. The 2011 Occupy Wall Street movement emerged as a protest against the banking system and the functioning of the capitalist system. Of course, the Occupy Wall Street movement did not seek the abolition of the capitalist system, but it felt that the current economic framework requires extensive reforms that will not only hit people, but will be an opportunity to eradicate existing political and economic corruption. The thesis on which the work is based is that the Occupy Wall Street movement is still taking place and although its future can not be predicted, given the experience of other socio-political and economic movements of America, this movement will leave a mark and its influence will surely affect economic and legal order of the USA, especially in the banking sector. Also, the slogans and mottos of this movement, even if they happen to be completely destructive, will cause changes on two levels: within the system and in economic relations (financial control and the financial system of the USA) that can not be ignored.
