If the current social change tools are not sufficient, what else do we have? According to systems theory, when the current solutions prove inadequate for the magnitude of change required, a system goes into stress and begins to break down. But the current social change tools at our disposal of governmental command and control, financial incentives, and citizen protest - Social Change 1.0 - were designed for slow-moving, incremental change. Social Change 2.0 represents such a solution for our social systems. It has a simple and some might say radical premise: that the natural starting point for changing our world for the better is us. Social Change 2.0 provides a blueprint to help them do just that.. That people are willing to make these changes if empowered by a personal vision and the means to bring it to fruition. That taking personal responsibility to make the needed changes within ourselves and our communities is the foundation for changing our institutions, not the other way around. What is required to help the system evolve is a second order change solution or a solution capable of transforming and reorganizing it to a higher level of performance. That these changes can be accelerated and reinforced with the right laws and financial incentives, but the process begins with us. Drawing on h
This book is an outstanding addition to the world. It is a practical, inspirational, and ethical guide to initiate, maintain, and/or reignite the soul of any social movement. I have looked forward to this book for some time to gain a deeper understanding of how David has initiated so much positive change and created so many innovative strategies to help people achieve their visions for a better world. In Social Change 2.0, David puts forth with clarity, brilliance, innovation, and passion a blueprint for sustainable societal transformation. I know of no one more experienced to create such a roadmap than David Gershon, who has spent the past three decades empowering individuals and communities, as well as business and government leaders. --Hazel Henderson, author of Ethical Markets: Growing the Green Economy and Building a Win-Win World. --BriDavid Gershon, founder and president of the Empowerment Institute, is one of the world s foremost authorities on empowerment, and applies this expertise to issues requiring large-scale societal and organizational transformation. At the height of the Cold War, using the mythic power of relaying a torch of peace around the world, this simple and profound act of global unity engaged the participation of twenty-five million people in sixty-two countries, the world s political leadership and, through the media, an estimated 20 percent of the population on the planet. Considered a master social architect and trainer, he co-directs the EThere were no press announcements, for her "creators" had yet to submit the paper on the experimental methods and results to a professional scientific journal. There are many excellent descriptions of exercises that are relatively easy to follow. A Very well-written book. He doesn't talk too much about the building, or rather, the re-building of Hagia Sophia which is somewhat of a disappointment for me. Each listing includes a gorgeous full-color photograph and informative, well-written text that covers physical description, distinctive characteristics, nesting behavior, and habitat.Johnsgard really know his ducks, and his love of his subject is evident on every page.The glossary, the list of conservation groups, the index of common and scientific names, and the beautifully drawn and extremely useful 106-bird identification key elevate this stunning volume well above the coffee table. But really there wasn't much fleshing out of any characters here to make them so likeable. Again.. These books are filled with images of awe-inspiring treasures produced by the greatest artisans from different countries and time periods. And their determination to proceed with the experiment, in spite of the "impossibility" proofs, is another strong argument for ignoring the opinions of experts when doing scientific research. There is just so much to know about AE that,
