Abstract

The phenomenon of communal social groups in Hong Kong in recent years cannot be underestimated. The sense of group in Hong Kong has its roots in the struggle over identity, which has led to the emergence of different ideologies in Hong Kong society due to external pressures to articulate multiple identities. Based on ideology, the first social group emerged in Hong Kong society before 1997, and after 1997, group consciousness in Hong Kong was also influenced by the subject of Liberal Studies 2009. With the understanding and popularisation of plenty of current affairs, students organised their social group as a methodology to participate in social movements and exert their influence. They believe that Hong Kong's social problems are rooted in political conflicts. To address the new challenges posed by external political factors since 1997, a new generation of young people in Hong Kong has begun to practise their civic engagement through social groups, which has led to a series of social movements, which have gradually formed the basis for mobilisation of Hong Kong's social activities, making the boundaries between the different ideological camps in Hong Kong's social activities more distinct, and forming a clear-cut mechanism for social movement cooperation.
