Name any two features of social movements.

Answer»
  • A social movement requires sustained collective action over time. Such action is directed against the state and takes the form of demanding changes in state policy or practice. Spontaneous, disorganised protest cannot be called a social movement. 
  • Collective action must be marked by some degree of organisation. 
  • This organisation may include a leadership. 
  • This organised protest also needs a structure that defines how members relate to each other, make decisions and carry them out. 
  • Those participating in a social movement also have shared ideologies and objectives. 
  • A social movement has a general orientation or way of approaching to bring about (or to prevent) change.
