Many methods...
Slacktivism (sometimes slactivism or slackervism ) is a portmanteau of the words slacker and activism . The word is usually considered a pejorative term that describes "feel-good" measures, in support of an issue or social cause, that have little or no practical effect other than to make the person doing it feel some amount of satisfaction. The acts tend to require minimal personal effort from the slacktivist. The underlying assumption being promoted by the term is that these low cost efforts substitute for more substantive actions rather than supplementing them, although this assumption has not been borne out by research. [ 1 ] Slacktivist activities include signing Internet petitions , [ 2 ] joining a community organization without contributing to the organization's efforts, copying and pasting of Social Network statuses or messages or altering one's personal data or avatar on social network services .

Tit for tat
In Western business cultures, a handshake when meeting someone is an example of initial cooperation. Tit for tat is an English saying meaning "equivalent retaliation ". It is also a highly effective strategy in game theory for the iterated prisoner's dilemma . The strategy was first introduced by Anatol Rapoport in Robert Axelrod 's two tournaments, held around 1980. Notably, it was (on both occasions) both the simplest strategy and the most successful . [ 1 ]Pay it forward
" Pay it forward " is asking the beneficiary of a good deed to "repay" it to others instead of to the original benefactor. The concept is old, but the phrase may have been coined by Lily Hardy Hammond in her 1916 book In the Garden of Delight . [ 1 ] "Pay it forward" is implemented in contract law of loans in the concept of third party beneficiaries . Specifically, the creditor offers the debtor the option of "paying" the debt forward by lending it to a third person instead of paying it back to the original creditor.
In social dynamics , critical mass is a sufficient number of adopters of an innovation in a social system so that the rate of adoption becomes self-sustaining and creates further growth. It is an aspect of the theory of Diffusion of Innovations , written extensively on by Everett Rogers in his book, " Diffusion of Innovations ". [ 1 ] Social factors influencing critical mass may involve the size, interrelatedness and level of communication in a society or one of its subcultures. Another is social stigma , or the possibility of public advocacy due to such a factor. Critical mass may be closer to majority consensus in political circles, where the most effective position is more often that held by the majority of people in society. In this sense, small changes in public consensus can bring about swift changes in political consensus, due to the majority-dependent effectiveness of certain ideas as tools of political debate.

Personal Alignment Precedes Group Flow
Posted by venessa miemis on Thursday, April 26, 2012 · 10 Comments I spent last week in an immersive personal development / coaching / business development retreat with a colleague, which spurred me to some new insights and opinions about collective intelligence, co-creation, and the general pursuit of goals and growth in life. The hosts were the same team that ran a culture-hacking bootcamp at Agile Boston a few months back, who were kind enough to invite us to Seattle to be facilitated through a longer team alignment process together. I went in with curiosity moreso than expectations, having a general understanding that we would do some kind of work that would clarify our agreements as well as sketch potential business models and strategies.

Albert Einstein Institution - Publications - De la Dictature à La Démocratie
C’est à travers un article du journal New York Times d’aujourd’hui que j’ai découvert l’existence de ce livre qui montre comment les populations peuvent renverser les régimes dictatoriaux par « la défiance politique », c’est-à-dire par le « combat nonviolent » se traduisant par la protestation, la non-coopération, et diverses formes de défis politiques. L’ouvrage aurait inspiré les mouvements qui ont balayé les régimes tunisiens et surtout égyptiens. Il propose et analyse différentes stratégies de lutte contre les dictatures. Il a été financé par l’Institution Albert Einstein, qui organise des séminaires et ateliers sur les stratégies de « défiance politique ».
