Answer:

Social movements are shaping modern democratic political life.

Explanation:

A social movement is a type of group action. There is no single consensus definition of a social movement.[1] They are large, sometimes informal, groupings of individuals or organizations which focus on specific political or social issues. In other words, they carry out, resist, or undo a social change. They provide a way of social change from the bottom within nations.[2]

Social movements can be defined as "organizational structures and strategies that may empower oppressed populations to mount effective challenges and resist the more powerful and advantaged elites".[2]

Political science and sociology have developed a variety of theories and empirical research on social movements. For example, some research in political science highlights the relation between popular movements and the formation of new political parties[3] as well as discussing the function of social movements in relation to agenda setting and influence on politics.[4] Sociologists distinguish between several types of social movement examining things such as scope, type of change, method of work, range, and time frame.

Modern Western social movements became possible through education (the wider dissemination of literature) and increased mobility of labor due to the industrialization and urbanization of 19th-century societies.[5] It is sometimes argued that the freedom of expression, education and relative economic independence prevalent in the modern Western culture are responsible for the unprecedented number and scope of various contemporary social movements.
