This time last year three out of four 16 to 24-year-olds were wearing the white band of Make Poverty History. Whatever the campaign may or may not have achieved in Africa, it briefly inspired millions in Britain. A joy, but also a revelation, for this was the moment when I saw how ready people were to take a little bit of action for a big cause. It may also explain how the small movement I helped to found has become a rather large phenomenon. Don’t think changing the world can start by something as simple as shutting down your computer at night?
Those marching were different crowds from 20 years ago. Make Poverty History made few formal demands. No slogans, no forms, not even meetings if you didn’t fancy them. It was activism lite—more a brand than an organization. Show solidarity wherever you go—fashionably of course—do more, if and when you can. The future of active citizenship may depend on understanding why it ignited a generation.
If social engagement is a funnel (a tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom) turned on its side, about a quarter of a million people in the UK are at the narrow end, serial activists, responsible for 80 per cent of our community action. Most charities are here, focusing their efforts on these committed citizens. Our organization, We Are What We Do, is
at the mouth of the funnel
, targeted at people who don’t recycle or think about fair trade. It is styled as a brand, inspiring people to make the small changes that will make a big difference if enough of us do the same.
Our first book—Change the World for a Fiver—featured 50 simple actions, from not spitting out your gum to declining plastic bags. All began by doing something small. Some of the 800 who are buying the book every day remain usefully but lightly engaged. For our new book, Change the World 9 to 5, we decided to focus on the workplace, where most of us spend most of our waking hours. Actions range from the entertaining (smile!); the symbolic (turn off your phone charger when not in use) and the serious (learn to save a life).
In working with We Are What We Do I have moved from the view that the sum of individual actions can help to make a difference to the belief that ultimately it is the only thing that ever does. The smallest act has a value of its own.
The text suggests that the campaigns twenty years ago _____.
选项
A、were much more informal
B、had neither funds nor meetings
C、were much better organized
D、were less active than nowadays
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。根据campaigns twenty years ago定位在第二段。该段第一句提到他们和20年前的队伍不一样,随后讲述现在游行的很多特点,如没有固定形式、没有正式会议等。可以推断出相比之下以前的队伍更加正式,更加有组织,故C项正确。
