Movement

Movement:

Not every member of the community is able to join a political party or provide for social welfare. Some people pursue a specific problem with focus. They organize individuals in an effort to put pressure on the government to address the problem. They keep tabs on the situation, shape public opinion, and then apply pressure on the government and political parties. A movement is what we refer to as this kind of organized activity. Any movement must involve organized activities. 

In a democracy, such movements are crucial. These movements promote debate on many societal issues. Such issues must then be taken seriously by the government. Movement leaders and activists give the government the required knowledge about those issues. Such issues must then be taken seriously by the government. Movement leaders and activists give the government the required knowledge about those issues. The government can make highly effective decisions with the use of this information.

Some movements aim to challenge a specific government decision or policy. Protesting is thought to be a crucial democratic right. This privilege must be exercised carefully and patiently, though.

Features of Movement:

• Movement is a collective action. It is anticipated that people will actively participate in the movement.
• A Movement can be formed when people come together with similar problems, similar demands, and similar expectations. For eg. the Human rights movement
• A movement has a specific social objective or a narrowly defined issue. For example, the anti-corruption movement seeks to eradicate corruption.
• Collective action must be marked by some degree of organization. It becomes challenging to follow up on the concerns without an organization. For instance, the farmer's organization supports the farmer's movement.
• Movements have leadership. Leadership keeps the movement active. The movement's leaders decide on the movement's goals, action plan, and agitation tactics. Movement effectiveness is a result of great leadership.
• Any movement needs the public's backing. People should identify with the cause that the movement is pursuing. Movements have a plan of action that aids in influencing public opinion.
