Explanation:

A social movement is defined as a long - term, conscious effort to promote or prevent social change. A reactionary movement is more about opposing change in a very conservative way. A revolutionary movement aims for radical and often quick change. Relative deprivation theory and resource mobilization theory are theories related to social movements (relative deprivation theory focuses on people's perception of being deprived compared to others, and resource mobilization theory focuses on the resources needed for a movement), but they are not the actual movement itself.
