Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frames can reflect both the worldview of the activists and the claims that they predict supporters will respond to, so the best answer is D, a combination of a and b. Frames are essentially a way for activists to package their message in a way that makes sense to their audience and inspires action, so they will often draw on both their own beliefs and the beliefs of potential supporters to create an effective frame. However, frames are subjective and may not necessarily accurately reflect actual events or the perspectives of all stakeholders involved.
