Many might think social activism to be synonymous with social protest or civil disobedience. However, when we look at what it really means, the two terms begin to blur. Activism and social change are closely related but they are not identical. In fact, it would be unfair to claim that social change is a direct outcome of social activism.

If what defines social activism as a direct outcome of social change, then would see that social activism is merely the expression of a belief in an equally equitable, just and tolerant society where difference is welcomed and respected. This would include all ethnic groups and religious sects. It also includes gender, sexual orientation and race. This belief is shared by a broad section of the global population who have been historically under-represented in every sphere of society.

This view is completely at odds with those who would claim that social activism is a direct outcome of the taking of socio-political decisions through popular vote or constitutional amendment process. Under such a logic, those who support social change cannot be considered as” activists” because they did not “vote” in favor of certain social change initiatives. They did not participate in the democratic process and neither did they physically participate in social activism.

Such an approach is nothing new. Just ask any former student of constitutional law about participatory self-government or social activism. The reality is that the concept of “rights” was first expanded in the United States to include all humans, and not just US citizens. Such rights, we argue, are not rights unique to US citizens alone; they are rights inherent to all humans and enjoyed by all humans at all times. Thus, those who invoke the terminology of “rights” when speaking of social activism are actually asserting that all human beings have a right to associate themselves with other humans, and that those who violate those associative rights are guilty of social wrongs.

The only way that this can be viewed as “social activism” is if it is viewed as a form of social disobedience – i.e., civil disobedience. To do so, the activists must physically challenge the society and government officials who enacted the legislation in question. In doing so, they do not merely “disrupt” the operation of that law. They bring about a huge change in the way in which that law is applied. In fact, in many ways, the new laws being implemented today are much more strict than the laws imposed during earlier periods. agency means that those who joined the fray to help shape social change during earlier periods have actually achieved that goal by ensuring that the laws are stricter.

Unfortunately, modern social activism also requires activists to work within the boundaries of the traditional media and social media. To do so, they must find unique ways to make their voice heard beyond the “traditional” venues. Activists engaged in social action need to think about how their messages will be received by the broader society. While there is no one way to alter the distribution channels for information, social activists must find unique ways to make their voices heard above the traditional channels.

In order for activists to successfully work against all forms of discrimination, they must engage in social activism that is not defined by one particular type of platform. Rather, they must work on promoting human rights on every platform. Activists may use popular social platforms such as Twitter to promote human rights. They may also use popular traditional platforms such as television and print media.

Activists may also take part in non-traditional venues such as academic conferences and gatherings. Activists engaged in these types of social activities must use non-conventional means to draw attention to the issues they are working on. In agency , they cannot rely solely on traditional means to achieve social change. If activists want to make social change, they must use every available opportunity to change the minds and hearts of people throughout the society. By engaging in social action, they are not only reaching out to a larger audience for their message but also engaging in a variety of different types of social activity. If an individual is interested in social activism, they should take the time to research the different types of activities that are available to them.
