‘Veganism’ which believes in not utilising any animal products in their diet or lifestyle, is fast becoming a movement today. In which of the following type would you classify it ?
Answer: D
Veganism is best classed as an alternative movement.
In David Aberle's well-known typology, alternative (or alterative) movements seek a limited change in the behaviour of individuals rather than a change in the whole society. Veganism asks individuals to change their own diet and consumption, refusing animal products, which is exactly that kind of personal, lifestyle change.
A revolutionary movement aims to overturn the social order, a revivalist movement seeks to restore a past way of life or belief, and a subaltern movement is a mobilisation of marginalised groups such as Dalits, tribals or peasants. Veganism fits none of these.
