Choose the incorrect statement :

  • A.New social movements focus on issues related to human rights.
  • B.Gay rights movement can be considered as new social movement.
  • C.New social movement emerged in mid 1960 i.e. in a post-industrial economy.
  • D.Animal rights movement cannot be called new social movement as it is not related to human rights.

Answer: D

The incorrect statement is that the animal rights movement cannot be called a new social movement because it is not related to human rights.

New social movements, which grew in Western post-industrial societies from the 1960s, are defined by their concern with identity, lifestyle, values and quality of life rather than class and wages. The environmental, peace, feminist, gay rights and animal rights movements are all standard examples, so the animal rights movement is a new social movement whatever its link with human rights.

The other statements are accepted: these movements often frame their claims as rights, the gay rights movement is a classic case, and they arose in the 1960s in post-industrial economies.
