DEFINITION (2): «As it developed in the West after 1750, the social movement emerged from an innovative, consequential synthesis of three elements: 1. A sustained, organized public effort making collective claims on target authorities (let us call it a campaign)· 2. Employment of combinations from among the following forms of political action: creation of special-purpose and coalitions, public meetings, solemn processions, vigils, rallies, demonstrations, petition drives, statements to and in public media, and pamphleteering (call the variable ensemble of performances the social movement repertoire)· and 3. Participants’ concerted public presentations of WUNC: worthiness, unity, numbers and commitment on the part of themselves and/or of their constituencies (call them WUNC displays […] No single element, but the combination of repertoire and WUNC displays within campaigns, created the social movement’s distinctiveness.» (Tilly 2004: 3-4, 5).

DEFINITION (1): “Norms are social rules that specify appropriate and inappropriate behavior in given situations. They tell us what we “should,” “ought,” and “must” do, as well as what we “should not,” “ought not,” and “must not” do. In all cultures the great body of these social rules deal with matters involving sex, property, and safety. But norms are not just moral rules. They provide guidance so that we can align our actions with those of others when situations are unclear or ambiguous, and they provide standards by which we judge other people and make decisions about how we will interact with them.” (Hughes and Kroehler 2009: 43).
