The article analyzes the phenomenon of modern post-crisis protests. The frame theory is the most effective method for evaluating the modern protest movement, which allows analyzing any action from the point of view of its context, its representation in the public space, its organization and original worldview. The article examines the European specifics of the protests and possible ideological divisions within the framework of mass demonstrations. It is concluded that the post-crisis protests in Europe are characterized, first of all, by a more or less clear division into supporters of neoliberal ideology and traditionalists (identists). The neoliberals opposed the traditionalism of the leadership of Poland, Hungary, and Russia, but the traditionalists more often protested against strict quarantine measures and uncontrolled immigration. Secondly, one of the widespread factors was distrust of the government, which, while proclaiming democratic norms to which does not follow. From this point of view, both the identists and the neoliberals alike demanded more democracy and justice during the protests

The main arguments are illustrated by an analysis of the crisis protests in Germany in 2009-2010 and the Occupy Wall Street movement in the USA. The German apartment-house syndicate ('Mietshäuser Syndikat') functions as an example showing how the different strategies of the two political strands can be combined in practice.

Recent public protests that had initially started in Myanmar in August 2007 found strong publicity
in international news media coverage. New communication technology played a key role in the
circumvention of censorship and enabled the submission of information to a global audience. Many
of these images and information were collected by citizen journalists. The impact of the internet
became blatantly obvious when the regime took the extreme measure of a complete internet
shutdown on 29 September to finally control the flow of information. This analysis examines the
circumvention of censorship as well as the respective strategies of the involved actors in their news
coverage. Moreover, the regime's response to the high attention is of central interest as well as
the context in which the media news coverage has operated. Arguably, global awareness led to a
high amount of international pressure on the regime. It is argued that the regime responded with a
mixed strategy of increased repression on the one hand and a more cooperative attitude on the
international level on the other hand.

Abstract
Social protest is not only a controversial issue, but should also be viewed within the social scenarios it has undergone, particularly when there are several manifestations that reveal severe conflicts in Latin America. This essay will explore the problems of the democratic and economic system that indicate the lack of equity in society, illustrating the need to modify the democratic model in a way that allows for the achievement of the fundamental rights of the people.
