When watching Do the Math‘s movie it was very interesting to see McKibben’s strategies for social change. It is interesting because his ideas are very similar to those of Epstein, Hallward and Duhigg’s ideas. McKibben discusses how more and more of this generation needs to come together because at this point it is an emergency, and we may be the only ones to change it. This relates of Epstein’s ideas of social cohesion, and people coming together. These ideas also go with Duhigg’s ideas because McKibben is expresses to share the panic with others. This relates to Duhigg when he talks about strong and weak connections, and how the civil rights movement started. McKibben also relates to Hallward’s ideas because he encourages people to spread the word. Through his many speeches and books he is sharing those scary facts that will get people to socially act. The very first paragraph does somewhat cancel out Hallward’s ideas because McKibben states “My theory of change was that I’ll write my book, people will read it and then they’ll change, but that’s not how change happens.” (0:46) This cancels Hallward’s idea because her main claim is that social change can be lead by telling stories. McKibben states in his opening statement that it is not enough anymore to just tell stories and expect change. Now, a person must act onto what they are saying in order to really make a difference. Duhigg’s ideas are similar to McKibben, but McKibben really relies on action more than the other three ideas on social change. He relies on action because he has seen these big companies learn more and more about climate change, and still not do anything, so he wants to change this by making waves among the people. McKibben states that his ideas are not radical because if it is not fixed it will result in death, but out of all the ways to get social change his ideas are the most out there including getting arrested.
