中间人群抗议部分不需听写The financial crisis has led to a great upsurge of protest around the world. Movements are springing up to campaign against the authors of the financial crisis to look at new forms of capitalism and how to manage greed in the West. And they're also experimenting with protest itself, exploring new ways to bring about the changes they want to see in the world. One theme is positive campaigning. Instead of opposing the things they don't like, they're looking at ways to support and encourage the things they do. A key test bed for these new ideas has been in the food industry. The BBC's Dan Saladino looks at how some grassroots activists are coming up with new ideas to persuade businesses to operate in more environmentally friendly and transparent ways.
On our television screens in recent months, whether because of the economic crisis, record youth unemployment, or the rise of social networks, we've witnessed a shift taking place in how people think, engage and organise themselves around the big issues of the day. Think of the likes of the UK's Uncut movement, or in the US, Occupy Wall Street.
"It takes this out of a Woodstock Nation type of thing and puts it to a working class type thing. But this is not like a pop culture riot. This is real."金融危机在全球掀起了一场猛烈的抗议活动。游行运动层出不穷，旨在声讨那些金融危机的始作俑者们，并敦促这些人研究新的资本主义形式，并看看如何治理西方的贪婪行径。他们还尝试改进抗议活动本身，探寻新方式以带来他们所想见到的全球变革。其中一件事就是正面游行活动。他们开始追寻那些能够支持并鼓励他们所爱的方式，而不是反对一些他们不喜欢的。这些新想法一个重要实验平台就是食品工业。英国广播公司的丹·萨拉迪诺着眼于一些草根阶级的激进分子们如何提出新思路来劝阻商业运行得更加环保和透明。
在这几个月的电视屏幕上，也许由于经济危机，创纪录的青年失业率或者社交网络的流行，我们注意到某种转变正在发生，这就是对于今日周边的惊爆事件人们是如何思考的，如何认知自己与这些事件的联系，以及如何将自己置身于整个事件的。想想近来类似的“完整英国运动”以及美国的“占领华尔街”游行。
“这起因于伍德斯托克国度类似的事件，并将此类事件推置给工薪阶层。但这不是所谓的流行文化骚动，这是真实世界的事情。
