19. Social media used by Egyptian
demonstrators brought together
individuals who shared common
goals and ideas, but also offered a
medium for planning. In the case
of Egypt, social media forced the
government to take accountability.
Transnational social networks
made it very difficult for
governments to lie and hide from
their citizens
22. The medium that carries the message
shapes and defines the message itself.
The instantaneous nature of how social
media communicate self-broadcast
ideas, unlimited by publication deadlines
and broadcast news slots, explains in
part the speed at which these revolutions
have unravelled, their almost viral spread
across a region.
-Peter Beaumont
26. Acting with integrity is one of the
most important differentiators you
can demonstrate in a world full of
“it doesn’t matter” thinking and
behaviour.
- Hannah Samuel.
27. Far from being old-fashioned
notions, acting with integrity,
building trust and genuinely
respecting others are more
needed now than ever. Those
who do act with integrity attract
attention not only because others
want to be associated with them
but because so few people truly
engage in ways that make people
feel good about themselves.
-Hannah Samuel
