 CCT205 Week 8 Response
  Rule 6 which states “A good tactic is one your people enjoy” by Saul Alinsky is very useful for my movement and any other movement. It’s very important for people to enjoy what they are doing. It doesn’t matter if it’s for work or for pleasure. If people are enjoying what they do than it takes very little to motivate them as they are motivated by themselves. I can use this tactic in my movement by organizing activities that not only make people aware of the issue (digital divide) but also let people have some fun doing it. When people are having fun, work starts to feel like play and the creative side of people comes out. This can help my movement as people will start to come up with new creative ideas that can help spread the message across better. When people are having fun in what they do, it also motivates them to do it better and the work turns into a friendly competition among each other. People get the urge to do better than other people. As competition is good for an economy, competition among members to do better would also be good for my movement.

 My movement is regarding the digital divide. The main purpose of my movement is to spread the message across about this problem and urge the government to take action. For this movement, a lot of volunteers would be needed. The best way to keep the volunteers interested and working hard is by using Rule 6 by Saul Alinsky. By applying this tactic, my volunteers would have fun in what they are doing. This will urge them to think and work harder.
