Nowadays, every one, virtually have the ability to quickly communicate and touch the whole world through the recent media tools, Internet and social networks like twitter, Facebook and the like….. ,, we can see now that words or actions of one persons in one side from the world reach the most far away locations in the opposite side of the world .
in the past we saw some words and/actions of "normal" persons like Martin Luther king, Gandi , Mandilla ,... etc who could significantly made changes in a large scale for their area of the world or even the whole world , which took significantly long time to be realized but it did .
reaching others in large scale didn't take such long time as before, so how and how long it takes for making remarkable positive change?
Six years ago we saw Mohamed Bouazizi who was a Tunisian street salesperson who set himself on fire on 17 December 2010, that became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution and the wider Arab Spring, which also is argued to start a sharp rise in global protest and change activity in many other locations.
as per my information, there is no study showing a concrete frame work or theory showing how such this wave can start, continue and result in a positive social change. and how this could be controlled, judged, and /or measured?
Yes. If we personally do our part in obeying law and order, I think there will be no problem to be measured in the first place. Doing the right thing at the right time can make a significant positive change in the whole world.
This is a broad question. I have one insight. Most of the people who changed the world, more or less had one characteristic, they questioned assumptions. In other words, they questioned what was normal, met with serious resistance,but pursed their ideas anyways... Gandhi for example, he fought without what we understand as fighting (with violence). Instead he used non-violence to fight.
