Whether we are thinking of the global corona-pandemic, environmental destruction all around the planet, the climate change with all it hot-spots around the world, similarly in Asia, east Africa or Europe. Political eruptions how we see it for example in Afghanistan, Iran/Iraq, or America. Furthermore there is the so called global uprising of the so-called right-wing, right-wing-populism, the far- or alt-right or right-wing-extremism in Germany, Europe and global. All this crises and conflicts unites that they are part of (mass) protest or social movements or accompanied by social protest and social movements. Characteristic for all this different local and global social movements and protest is, that it is shaped by social and cultural inequality as well as by different social stratifications and social dislocation.
