Some movements are more general or generic movements that seek to achieve a broad goal in the very term.” Do you agree? Why?
The single-issue movements can be contrasted with movements that are long term and involve more than one issue. The environmental movement and the women’s movement are classic examples of such movements. There is to one organisation that controls or guides such movements. Environmental movement is a label for a large number of organisations and issue-specific movements. All of these have separate organisation, independent leadership and often different views on policy-related matters. Yet all of these share a broad objective and have a similar approach. That is why they are called a movement. Sometimes these broad movements have a loose umbrella organisation as well. For example, the National Alliance for Peoples Movements (NAPM) is an organisation of organisations. Various movement groups struggling on specific issues are constituents of this loose organisation which coordinates the activities of alarge number of peoples’ movements in our country.
