How can I change the world?
Filed Under Questions
There are a lot of ways that you can change the world. Usually, people who change the world(s) they live in persuade others to change their behavior in one way or another. They do this is by sending a clear message to the others about what they stand for. How do we send and receive these kinds of messages?
* By talking to each other (listening)
* By writing to each other (reading)
* By singing to each other (listening)
* By acting (drama) for each other (observing)
* By building things for each other (observing)
* By the way we treat each other (observing)
* Etc., etc.
These messages are often sent through MEDIA. Media was paper. Media was radio. Media was TV. But today, Media is the Internet, particularly blogs and podcasts. A person who really has something to say or anticipates having something to say in the future should master these Media. Today, you don’t have to be rich and powerful to let your voice be heard. It is easier than it has ever been in the history of the world for you to share your voice with global audiences.
