Even as individuals we can take encouragement that small things count. History is the witness of benevolence always washing away the malevolence of the moment, no matter how hateful and powerful it seemed at the time.

        was that dissipative structures can shift into higher
        levels of organization when perturbed. Society can be
        viewed as an open system exchanging energy with the
        environment. Fluctuations can be created by a small group
        of people, and this in turn has the potential to change
        society as a whole. If the perturbations exceed society's
        ability to "dampen" the fluctuations, then a
        new level of social order can evolve. As social
        organization becomes increasingly complex, it becomes
        more likely that small perturbations can lead to higher
        orders of complexity. Social change and evolution will
        happen at an ever increasing pace.</p> <P></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.survey-software-solutions.com/walonick/reality.htm">Holographic theory helps social scientists to
        understand organizational and social systems by stressing
        the wholeness of the systems. Individual components of a
        system cannot be manipulated without affecting all other
        components in the system.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CCF381CC-39AE-4414-9664-6DFED2B737F6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
