Dynamics of the Occupy Wall Street movement
This text is simple yet quite interesting in its analyses of different dynamics of a movement's evolution. It makes you realize how a single event (from a fringe group of people or the police) can significantly influence the future of a movement.
Excerpt:
The burgeoning Occupy Wall Street movement could be the spark that progressive activists have been waiting for -- an opportunity to reframe the economic crisis and generate broader support for government economic stimulation and for measures to promote greater equality. Occupy Wall Street's success will depend, in large part, on whether protesters effectively manage violence (as the Tea Party has) or fail to do so (as in the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle).

I am amazed by the amount of press coverage about press coverage when it comes to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Half of the articles I read about the movement describe the way news outlets are picturing the protesters.
I don't know why that is.
