True or false? according to arthur vangundy, language would be considered to be an intellectual roadblock.

Is true. According to the author, Arthur VanGundy, language can be an obstacle or roadblock in the creative process. This blockage occurs because we already have certain vices in the use of some words and, in the author's conception, repeated use of the same words creates biases in our way of thinking, hindering or even blocking our creative thoughts. For example, a window for some people is a shutter for some other people. The point of the author is that each word can represent different results and therefore one must be careful that language does not become a barrier during the creative process.

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.
