1 A social movement is an organized group that acts consciously to promote or resist change through collective action (Goldberg, 1991). 2  Because social movements have not become institutionalized and are outside the political mainstream, they offer outsiders an opportunity to have their voices heard.
An advocacy group is a group or an organization which tries to influence the government but does not hold power in the government. A single-issue group may form in response to a particular issue area sometimes in response to a single event or threat.ome groups, generally ones with less financial resources, may use direct action and civil disobedience and in some cases are accused of being a threat to the social order or 'domestic extremists'. Research is beginning to explore how advocacy groups use social media to facilitate civic engagement and collective action.
