Change in social culture

Technology & Popular Culture
• How it affects FlashMobs– Organizing & recording– Tech generation vs other generations
• Technology is changing our ideas of performance in the traditional/formal sense: blurred line between performer and bystander
![Page 12: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Changing society: People are– Defining their own world, e.g. Wikipedia– A society of observers– Developing their own language via texting– Divulging information, e.g. Wikileaks– Disposing of information, e.g. Wiki Dump– Interested in social relevance – TEST– Performing together without being face to face, e.g. Youtube
symphony– Making each other laugh --- e.g. cat symphony

Education & Learning• “Although GenY may be adept at obtaining data, many
lack the sophistication to understand and evaluate the information they receive.” (Black, 2010, p.98)
• How could this phenomenon benefit teaching?– Inclusion– Belonging– Momentum – Ownership– Self-esteem
![Page 17: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Challenge/Task for Educators– Nudge learners back into their own lives by:
• Developing better social skills• Rekindle the need to see for “ourselves”• Slow things down a notch
Education & Learning
![Page 18: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Reflective Questions• What are the benefits of the flashmob
phenomenon that a leader/educator could capitalize on?
• What are the payoffs for the participants/learners?• In what ways can we re-examine leadership,
motivation, and creating meaning?• What is the power of creating something just for
the fun of it? How could this be harnessed in the classroom to support learning?

Reflective Questions
• What is it in this experience that triggers – a sense of wanting to participate in some capacity
or another – an openness to even consider being an organizer
or leader?
• What is happening to our present sense of identification with leadership?
![Page 20: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hope for Humanity
• How many of you were touched by this? • What is it that makes it so appealing to so many?• Shift in Power• We have the possibility to hold the vision of what we believe
in. Each of us now has access to 1.5 billion people without any gatekeepers.
• The possibility for individuals to step into leadership is endless.
![Page 21: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusions• Where is this leading?
– Core social change – towards group spontaneity• Music Metaphor -- Shift from classical to jamming where:
– There is no leader– Everyone feeds off one another– Anyone can change the direction of the music at any time– Everyone contributes to the overall sound
– Popular culture activities based on technology are transitioning to
• Moving as one• Being inclusive• Having fun
![Page 22: Leadership and Popular Culture The Group Phenomenon By Holly Hovland and Bob Laval.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051401/56649cc35503460f9498c592/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Conclusions
• Shift in sense of self – Blurring the boundaries of our sense of separateness– Sense of belonging
• Shift in sense of leadership– Anybody can be a leader– Leader is becoming more invisible– Group activity more important than the leader– The experience of “for the fun of it” for the individuals
overshadows any other purpose
• Hope for humanity
