It's the antidote to the consumerism and cynicism that define our culture.

For those that think changes can't be made by individuals uniting for common cause this article begs to differ with that hopelessness idea.

Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
Sharing stories, listening, while allowing others to express how they see things is a powerfully connective tool we so often forget.

Now here is a very powerful article about how a story, once it leaves our lips, can be co-opted, changed, and used to divide -- all counter to the original message of the story. Truly there are significant ethics involved in story sharing -- especially for nonprofits, and with for-profit businesses also. Many social issues are emotionally charged. That's the case here where the topic is abortion. Same with guns, drugs, violence, hunger, etc. Look beyond the abortion topic here and really hear the message about story sharing ethics. When nonprofits share the stories of those they serve -- or highlight a social problem -- ethics become critically important. When businesses share employee or customer stories and do not pay attention to the ethics of story sharing, they are in for a backlash.

Do the right thing. This review was written by Karen Dietz for her curated content on business storytelling atwww.scoop.it/t/just-story-it

That is so true Monica! I love playing with listening activities so I can be more aware of my surroundings, and more aware of what people are really trying to tell me. And of course marketing without listening is just broadcasting, which won't take you very far!

Using Manuel Castells as a reference, the power of ICTs become apparent in a setting of social movements. They create a space of public discussion and debate that can be compared to Habermas' public sphere. The power of communication is evident as activists act as a counter-power challenging the existing order and institutions in place.
