Social media used by Egyptian demonstrators brought together individuals who shared common
goals and ideas, but also offered a medium for planning. In the case of Egypt, social media forced the
government to take accountability. Transnational social networks
made it very difficult for governments to lie and hide from
their citizens

KEY FACTORThe medium that carries the message
shapes and defines the message itself. The instantaneous nature of how social
media communicate self-broadcast ideas, unlimited by publication deadlines and
broadcast news slots, explains in part the speed at which these revolutions have unravelled, their almost viral spread
across a region. -Peter Beaumont

SOCIAL CHANGE IS POSSIBLE...
Acting with integrity is one of the most important differentiators you
can demonstrate in a world full of “it doesn’t matter” thinking and
behaviour. -

CHECKLIST
Far from being old-fashioned notions, acting with integrity, building trust and genuinely
respecting others are more needed now than ever. Those who do act
with integrity attract attention not only because others want to be
associated with them but because so few people truly engage in ways that make people feel good about
themselves. -Hannah
Samuel
