Engage on the Net?


Save the bees, denounce a bill supporting a person imprisoned ... On our mail, we are regularly asked to sign petitions online. One click does it take to change the world without leaving home? Under the impetus of "web petitions," an anti-corruption law was passed in Brazil, Nestlé has decided not to use palm oil responsible for the deforestation and the European Commission should revise its legislation on GMOs (anti-GM petition Avaaz-initiated and supported by Greenpeace was the first to be filed with the Commission. According to the "Citizens' Initiative" established by the Treaty of Lisbon in 2007, one million citizens from a significant number of countries Union may require the revision of a law). It is not so easy to mobilize us. "Despite our two hundred and fifty thousand permanent contacts on the Internet, it is impossible to gather a million signatures if our cause does not meet a broad movement of opinion," explains Colin Adelaide, communications director of Greenpeace France.

Mobilising alone. Vibrate together, recognize themselves in the eyes of others acting for the common good, this is the engine of activism. On the Web, the pleasure of sharing exists, but it is not physical, palpable and immediate. Is only a desire to change the intellectual world, all alone in front of the screen, which requires greater mobilization of our consciousness. In a group, the individual likes to hide behind a leader, an ideal. The effect of crowd makes its way to the act and dilutes responsibility. The cybersignataire him, performs a single act, thought, he must bear alone.
Facing the world. In presenting our views to the whole world, we deliver especially to a circle of relatives, clients, colleagues, and we will not always have the opportunity to explain to us. Braving the gossip that we, we need to show great strength of character. The web does not lose anything. Give his name, as at a wedding or a baptism, a symbolic return to "marry" a cause or idea. And, for life.

Do you know why I love this? I just discovered: the cackling of hens or ducks quack have accents truly concerned about maternal and domesticated animals for a long time. But the cry of the goose still evokes quite the wild bird, not tamed, who migrates south in winter, it reminds flying proud to call love across great distances ... In truth, when I hear this inarticulate cry of the goose, something in me shudders of nostalgia - nostalgia for what? Simply distant horizons of the world. Sacredieu, all the devils! why can not I fly too far away from here, as far as a wild goose! "
