Social movements are a way for individuals to engage in environmental policy issues. In

Social movements are a way for individuals to engage in environmental policy issues. In
today's political climate, a great variety of movements have risen in as a result of great
technological advantages. Social movements have adapted to societies technical advantages
and started recruiting new members via viral movements instead. Viral movements have great
power given its ability to reach out to a large group of people without effort. With three
different environmental movements, the study can show that participation in the
environmental policy debate depends primarily on individual experiences and the ontological
perception. Since the ontological perception differs between individuals, active participation
can differ drastically depending on the environmental problem. The study also focuses on
how human anthropocentric ideology lies behind the environmental disasters that we live with
today. The study consists of primary data in the form of a questionnaire and secondary data.
The two different types of information sources are compared to later draw conclusions with
relevant theory. (Less)
