*Networked global problem solving
*Climate change, terrorism, inequality etc.. are global in their scope and thus require global solutions. *The system of international institutions in

for global problem-solving? *Tapscott: “We are in the early days of an
explosion of new, networked models to solve global problems”

*Global consciousness
*Lack of ability to embrace complexity*Kony: enemy image, simplifies the
situation, lack empathy/respect for local context*Israel-Loves-Iran: ”Peace is a simple
process” What is peace???*Avaaz: enemy images, one interview
person; ”high level of global consciousness”.

*Global network culture
*Fail going to the root of the problem!*Kony: focus on one person rather than the
system*Avaaz: lack of focus, based on western
mass-media*Israel-Loves-Iran: no focus on Palestine

*Cultural change
*“because of the zeitgeist of the culture in the world we needed an enemy” *“let’s suppose we made a movie that’s
better than the Kony-movie – really gets to the heart of the matter – and suppose that it went viral and reached a 100 million people, and these 100 million people say, they learned a lesson and said we have to be united, no more amateurish ‘every person for himself” *Avaaz: Create confidence in humanity and
empower people to create change*Kony: gave rise to worldwide discussions *Israel-Loves-Iran: affect relationships
