Eco-emotions; the advocate for change
* Focus questions:

## Main headings

* Why should we care? Indirect issues on a personal basis.
* '#MeToo'
* Factors limiting Action: (Online Caution, Cultural Differences)
* Aim for three to six main headings between the Overview and Conclusion
* Sub-headings can also be used, but avoid having sections with only one sub-heading

## Key points

* Why should we care? Indirect issues on a personal basis:
* what are ecological emotions?
* how to deal with ecological emotions?
* Example: Suffragettes
* Revolution: Sexual revolution, why protest?
* What are the consequences of acting.
* social / cultural context.
* #MeToo:
* Influence of Social Media on choosing to act/speak. - diffusion of responsibility and social influence
* What influenced people to come forward?
* Act global not local? - Why not to the attention of local authorities? - Anonymous
* Gender Inequality issues historically: Birth Control, Sexual Revolution etc., and how these eco-emotions were more/less apparent, yet, always present referring to psychological theory. I will use a historical movement as a case study.
* Provide at least 3 bullet-points per heading, including for the Overview and Conclusion
* Include key citations

* Case studies describe real-world examples of concepts in action.
* Case studies can be real or fictional.
* A case study could be split into multiple sections throughout a chapter to illustrate different theories or stages.
* It is often helpful to present case studies using feature boxes.

### Feature boxes

* Important content can be highlighted in a feature box. But don't overuse feature boxes, otherwise they lose their effect. There are several ways of creating boxes. Recommended: Pretty boxes).
* Consider using feature boxes for:
** Focus questions
** Case studies or examples
** Quiz questions
** Take-home messages
* Feature box example
* Shaded background
* Coloured border
* Change the theme number for different colours

### Figures

* Use figures to illustrate concepts, add interest, and to serve as examples
* Figures can show photos, diagrams, graphs, etcetera
* Figures can be embedded throughout the chapter, including the Overview section
* Figures should be captioned (using Figure #. and a description). Captions explain the relevance of the image to the text/
* Wikimedia Commons provides a library of embeddable images
* Images can also be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons if they are openly licensed
* Refer to each figure at least once in the main text (e.g., see Figure 2)

### Links

* When key words are introduced, use interwiki links
* These links can go to:
** Wikipedia (e.g., Sigmund Freud wrote about (e.g., dreams) or
** Related book chapters (e.g., if your are struggling, you might be interested to read the chapter about writer's block)

### Tables

* Use tables to organise and summarise information
* As with figures, tables should be captioned (e.g., see Table 1)
