Why is it so difficult to change a society? Changes could mean an overhaul of a system, such as that of our own, from martial law to a democratic state ( or so-called, depending on whose side you are.), from a democratic to an autocratic or a democratic to a welfare or from an autocracy to a liberal democratic state. Many groups take chances at effecting changes in societies; some are successful, some are not. Now what are the reasons for attempts to fail in instituting changes?
1. Wrong people are leading the movement for change. Sometimes, infiltrators are able to worm their way in and convince the original leaders to give up some of their power to him or her;
2. The people who will benefit from the change/s are not ready to take up the cudgels; meaning, they just want to wait on the sidelines;
3. The wrong methods, which the people do not subscribe to, are being used by the leaders. such are the "sagasa style" or imposing a blueprint of the change the leaders want the people to embrace; or the "utak pulbura" style or the use of armed struggle despite the extreme rejection of the people who just want to live through their lifetimes;
4. The leaders are being supported by certain authorities who have a hold on the people in economic terms;
5. The leaders know how to blind people to their ways, so that the mesmerization occurs -- the people develop excuses: aha, he's very good at speaking English; hey he talks like us, so he must be good; hey he knows how to massage our egoes; or hey he's giving away money to shut us up. |Who cares about the future? Today is the moment that I will enjoy life. What are morals for? Can you eat them?
So for the do-gooders, check out the above and find out why your moves are not getting your desired results.
