Social movements
- The morality of a movement is measured by the kind of change it aims for. 'Good' movements try to pressure institutional authorities to reduce systemic inequality and injustices. 'Bad' movements are reactionary in response to 'good' movements and try to preserve exclusionary structures, laws and policies.
- Large-scale institutional changes that broaden freedom or advance the cause of social justice often results from pressure exerted from the bottom up by ordinary people who push for reform collectively and outside the bounds of mainstream institutions.
- Good intentions do not guarantee success.
