Activism consists of intentional action to bring about social, political, economic, or environmental change. This action is in support of, or opposition to, one side of an often controversial argument. In contemporary use, "activism" tends to be a word associated with the actions and ideologies of those on the political left. The word "activism" is used synonymously with protest or dissent, but activism can take a wide range of forms from writing letters to newspapers or politicians, political campaigning, economic activism such as boycotts or preferentially patronizing businesses, rallies, street marches, strikes, both work stoppages and hunger strikes, or even guerrilla tactics. In some cases, activism has nothing to do with protest or confrontation. Some religious or vegetarian/vegan activists try to persuade people to change their behavior directly, rather than persuade governments to change laws. The cooperative movement seeks to build new institutions which conform to cooperative principles, and generally does not lobby or protest politically.

GNU Free Documentation License How activists have hijacked the symbols of the Olympic Games and used them to shame China ? Q. A broad coalition of professional activists, anarchists and freelance stirrers is rolling out a series of shaming campaigns intended to fuel the cacophony of complaint against China's hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games. Asked by Graphiste G - Wed Apr 2 22:54:04 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. China trades it's veto power on the UN Security Council for favors. If it wasn't for that, the Genocide in Darfur would be over already! China is getting what's coming to it! I'm skipping the Olympics out of disgust this time. And I love Chinese culture, people, movies, food etc! But the leadership of modern China should not bask in glory as it enables genocide in Africa!! And that's not even mentioning Tibet!

Asked by THE GREATEST GODDESS JILL - Tue Oct 6 22:50:36 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Your rant makes no sense. I am confused if you want those in the military (immigrants or citizens) to receive their retirement pensions or not. But since you posted this in the immigration section I am sure you are screaming about immigrants. But for me to somehow answer part of your question . 1)Illegal immigrants cannot join the US military. They are required to have a legal Green Card and are allowed to enlist then. Their security clearance is limited due to them being non citizens 2)They can gain citizenship through the US military. Thus increasing their security clearance 3)They do not receive a pension until the serve a full 20 years of active duty service. So unless someone hits 20 years and receives an honorable discharge… [cont.] Answered by Cybi - Tue Oct 6 23:48:22 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Activists" SubcategoriesThis category has the following 4 subcategories, out of 4 total.
