Cultural movement
A cultural movement is a shared effort by loosely affiliated individuals to change the way others in society think by disseminating ideas through various art forms and making intentional choices in daily life.[1] By definition, cultural movements are intertwined with other phenomena such as social movements and political movements, and can be difficult to distinguish from broader cultural change or transformation.[1][2]
Art movement
[edit]An art movement is a change with a specific art philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a specific period of time defined within a number of years.[3]
Social movement
[edit]A social movement is an organized effort by a large group of people to achieve a particular goal, typically a social or political one.[4][5] This may be to carry out a social change, or to resist or undo one. It is a type of group action and may involve individuals, organizations, or both.[6]
Political movement
[edit]A political movement is an attempt by a group of people to change government policy or social values in society.[7] They are often associated with a certain ideology.[8]
