Re: Reasons To, Reasons Not To

What I take from this data is that reasons for embracing or resisting are individually unique.  While on the surface there appears to be clusters I imagine that on further probing some uniqueness would emerge.  I distinguish embracing from complying.  Some of the "reasons to" could turn into passive resistance or malicious compliance.  If I really want to know how much energy is with and against a change, I have a better chance if I make contact with individuals. But making contact is a lot of hard work.  If I don't really care about the energy then why do all the work of discovering it?

  Subject: [resistance] Reasons To, Reasons Not To


  I've asked hundreds of people two questions:

  1. "Think of a time when someone asked you to do something, and 
  you chose not to.  What were your reasons for not doing what they 
  asked?"

  2. "Think of a time when someone asked you to do something, and 
  you chose to do it.  What were your reasons for doing what they 
  asked?"

  I've posted about a hundred answers to each question in the files 
  area for this group: 
  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/resistance-as-a-resource/files

  See the files:
        reasons-to.txt
        reasons-not-to.txt

  What patterns do you see in the "reasons to"?  In the "reasons 
  not to"?

  What similarities and differences do you see between the "reasons 
  to" and "reasons not to"?  Or between these reasons and the 
  examples of "resistance" I posted earlier (in the 
  resistance-examples.txt file)?

  What meanings do you make of these similarities and differences?

  What significance does all of this have for your change efforts 
  (and for your efforts to resist)?
