The Solution: Make it Easy to do the Right Thing!
I found his argument especially interesting because it provides a different framework to think about how social change in fact happens. It is a misconception (one that I am guilty of having held) that in order to affect change,the masses need to be on board. But that simply is not true and this triangle clearly shows that. It is more important to have a strong dedicated core that can focus on setting agendas and later galvanizing the masses. This is evident when looking at all types of lobbying success. We need to stop acting like individuals and start acting like citizens otherwise the problems and at least the roots of the problems will continue to exist because we live with flawed systems and structures that allow these problems to exist. Overall I thought that the Triangle was very interesting and fairly accurate.
