Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In the contemporary digital landscape, online activism has emerged as a potent force for social change, with rhetoric playing a critical role in this phenomenon. The strategic use of language forms the backbone of many successful social movements, harnessing the capabilities of digital platforms to mobilize support, disseminate information, and influence public opinion. This paper aims to explore the rhetorical strategies employed by online activists, drawing on various case studies to illuminate the ways these strategies empower movements. By examining the implications of these rhetorical approaches, this research not only contributes to academic discourse but also provides practical guidance for social change leaders seeking to refine their communication techniques.
