Collective Action

Occurs when people act in unison to bring about or resist social, political, and economic change. Some collective actions are routine. Others are nonroutine. Routine collective actions are typically nonviolent and follow established patterns of behavior in existing types of social structures. Nonroutine collective actions take place when usual conventions cease to guide social action and people transcend, bypass, or subvert established institutional patterns and structures.

Political Protest

An expression of objection or disapproval towards political ideas or actions, often in a public context.

Model Parliament

A historical term or concept relating to representative assemblies or efforts to simulate parliamentary democracy as an educational tool.
