Ready for revolution—the psychology of protest

Description

May 1968 saw over a million people protesting on the streets of Paris. Some say it caused a social revolution, and things were never the same again. The process of protest has changed over the past fifty years and social media has had an important impact. What makes some individuals radicalise and take to the streets to stand up for their cause—while others remain on the couch? We look at extensive research on protest behaviour, and what makes community action effective.
