Key Concepts

Social Movement

A social movement is a collective, organized effort by a large group of people who share a common goal to bring about or resist change in society. It involves sustained campaign activities, often aiming for social or political change, and is characterized by its grassroots nature and ability to mobilize public opinion and action.

Conflict Theory

Conflict theory is a sociological perspective that focuses on the inherent power struggles and inequalities between different groups in society. It asserts that social order is maintained by domination and power, rather than consensus and conformity, and often explains social phenomena in terms of competing interests between classes, genders, ethnicities, or other groups.
