Question 8 • CR04258 Sociology

Which of the following would be NOT a goal of a movement described by the relative deprivation theory?

Answer
A
increased wages
B
improved living conditions
C
properly utilized resources
D
equal voting rights

Explanation

Relative deprivation theory describes movements that seek to address people’s sense that they are unfairly worse off than others. Goals such as increased wages, better living conditions, and equal voting rights directly address perceived economic or political inequality. Properly utilized resources is not as directly an outcome of that kind of movement, so the best answer is “properly utilized resources.”
