All we need is a few of us to start and change. « A new study about the power of committed minorities to shift conventional thinking offers some surprising possible answers. Published in « Science », the paper describes an online experiment in which researchers sought to determine what percentage of total population a minority needs to reach the critical mass necessary to reverse a majority viewpoint. The tipping point, they found, is just 25 percent. At and slightly above that level, contrarians were able to “convert” anywhere from 72 to 100 percent of the population of their respective groups. Prior to the efforts of the minority, the population had been in 100 percent agreement about their original position. “This is not about a small elite with disproportionate resources,” says Arnout van de Rijt, a sociologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands who studies social networks and collective action, and was not involved in the study. “It's not about the Koch brothers influencing American public opinion. Rather, this is about a minority trying to change the status quo, and succeeding by being unrelenting. By committing to a new behavior, they repeatedly expose others to that new behavior until they start to copy it.” Words from the Scientific American. Now, let’s leave cynicism to the pessimist and fearful ones. We have work to do 💪 #climatechange #climatejustice #socialjustice #environment #nature #oneplanet #noplanetb #actwithlove #pachamama #conservation #biodiversity #mindfulness #rainforest Photo : repost from @gretathunberg」5月23日 7時12分
