Food Justice Described as a social issue, a political problem, and a matter of economic importance, food justice overarches the idea of social, environmental, and economic equality through improved health and nutrition. In the United States, the issues related to poor access to food, hunger, diet-related illnesses, and other food system concerns impact the population, especially the people of colour.

As a student, the socio-psychological factor that affects my health most noticeably is stress. Academic deadlines, social expectations, financial concerns, household responsibilities, and uncertainty about the future can accumulate until ordinary self-care feels like another assignment. The original reflection connects stress with irregular eating, poor sleep, fatigue, anxiety, low self-esteem, clutter, fear of cancer, and the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Those experiences should remain central, but they need

Nelson A. Pichardo’s “New Social Movements: A Critical Review” Nelson A. Pichardo’s 1997 article, “New Social Movements: A Critical Review,” examines a body of theory developed largely to explain movements that appeared difficult to fit into older class-centered models. Environmentalism, feminism, peace activism, gay and lesbian liberation, student protest, anti-nuclear campaigns, and movements for cultural autonomy often emphasized identity, lifestyle, participation, and the quality of everyday life alongside material redistribution.

Introduction Any significant changes in the cultural values and behavior patterns of people can be referred to as social change. However, these changes necessarily need to generate profound social consequences and long-term impacts on the behaviour of society.

Therefore, contemporary social movements are highly acknowledged by sociologists as an inspiring factor of social change.

No single sociological theory explains all of these outcomes. Social
