Clicktivism

Clicktivism is a noun that refers to the practice of supporting a cause through the internet. Our word of the day is a 21st century variant of activism, a word of Latin descent. Clicktivism replaces the word ‘act’ because it refers to a lazy, less active form of social engagement. Here’s an example: People criticize clicktivism, but I think it’s kind of fun. Right from my own home, I voted on who I think should star in the new Indiana Jones movie.
