Since the 1930s, deprivation theory has been used to explain why social movements arise. The theory states that social movements among people who feel deprived occur because they are unhappy with their current situation and have a desire for change. Social movements can arise when one or more groups of people feel dissatisfied with their position relative to other groups in society. When these feelings of dissatisfaction reach critical mass, this leads to a social movement that aims to create societal change by addressing the root causes of the original problem. Deprivation theory explains how different types of inequality lead to resentment between various groups within society and ultimately result in conflict.
