                                                The Successful of the Occupy Movement

            The occupy movement is not stand for anything, but it appears in the Capitalist society. It is which civilians want to get more participation opportunities because they are dissatisfaction for the society. From the occupy movement, even though it includes difference people of many colors, genders, and political persuasions, the one thing they all have in common is that “We are 99%” that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%.  They are using some ways to achieve their occupy movement and also encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participation. I have read three articles, first, “The occupy Movement Needs Real Leaders and Real Goals,” written by Aksjara Sekar and Deborah.  Second, Maria Armoundian writes “In order to Succeed, the Occupy Movement Needs to Broaden Its Focus.” Last, “the Occupiers Need to Mobilize Students and Unions to Succeed,” which is written by Laird Harrison. Those articles which discus how the occupiers to make successful of the occupy movement. To make stronger and successful of the occupy movement, the real leaders, real goals, and unions have become much- discussed topic.

            There are many perspectives on it, some more critical than others. However, what does it take for occupy to be successful? Akshara Sekar and Deborah Soung, both authors have positive view, argue only choose leaders and agree on common goals that will keep the movement organized because of they can easy to achieve their goals of changing society. Sekar and Soung say that the occupy movement to be successful which “having a leader does not mean stooping to corruption; having a leader who proves more efficient, effective and trustworthy than the likes of largely disliked corporate officials such as Leo Apotheker, former CEO [chief executive officer] of Hewlett- Packard, means elevating the movement about the level of the mighty One Percent.” In this case, he acknowledge that the positive way to be successful of the occupy Movement which need to leaders to achieve their goals. He mentions that leaders play an important role to the occupy movement because leaders can help them to organize the occupy movement.

            To compare Sekar and Soung’s perspectives, Maria’s perspectives play less positive way than Sekar and Soung. Maria Armoudian is an author, a fellow at the University of Southern California’s Center for International Studies, and the host and producer of the Pacifica Radio programs The Scholars’ Circle and The Insighters. She describes the success of the occupy movement as political movement. She says that “Political movements begin with a spark-powerful communications, ideas and demonstrations.” From this quotation, Maria notes that the movement can evolve into a true force of change. In her perspective, she mentions that if they want to be successful of the occupy movement, it has made political fairness and equality. She also says that “Political entrepreneurs were engaged at every level of society, particularly in the halls of power in every level government.” She definitions the successful movement which is changing the system because of the movements are institutionalized the transformations that they sought.

            To fully understand what these authors are saying, we must know how they defining the successful occupy movement. For Sekar and Soung, to be successful of the occupy movement consist of real leaders and real goals as well as individual’s occupy movement. However, Maria’s perspectives are different with Sekar and Soung. She describes “the protester need to employ the media and at the same time launch initiatives to change the political system from within. Precious civil right movements have taken their battles to the courts and legislatures, and the occupy movement might have to follow in their steps to reach their high-minded goals.” Maria uses the different way to make her own definitions. She define that being successful of the occupy movement needs to change the political system. Her definition could be used to the some protesters as the successful of the occupy movement.

          With Sekar and Soung’s definitions, does occupiers mobilize students to make the occupy movement successfully or need leaders? Laird Harrision is a novelist and multimedia journalist, a correspondent for TIME and people magazines, and writes many national magazines and newspapers. He says that “In an effort to keep the momentum going, the occupy movement set its sights on influencing the upcoming presidential elections with rallies and protests, changing the fabric of national banking, and becoming an even greater presence online- from social media to international news outlets.” Harrison defines this that American society drives greed and injustice by some people. In his perspectives, he hopes the fabric of the people can change a system they deem corrupt. In this definition, he may acknowledge occupy of the economy.  he is more talks about how to select the right way.
