The Occupy Movement is the first protest that isn't so black and white. It may have one thing in common, but that is simply the blanket to cover many varieties of issues that many feel should be addressed. Yes, maybe the protest needs a few faces to speak on behalf for them (since the aged news heads needs simplicity). However, the protest is not and cannot be narrowed down anymore than it is. Everyone who could appear did so for their own reason. It may not be all the same reason but one guy's reason may be the same as the second and that guy may have the same reason as that third guy even if the third guy does not share any of the same purpose as the first guy.
Many of the goals and motivations are linked in a six-degrees pattern, because whether we like to accept it or not, we are affected by the actions of one another no matter how separated we are. It's this denial of the separation theory that has brought us into this global economic situation in the first place.
Equally, it's this same complexity that has allowed the movement to transcend cultural barriers. Different nations could use the economy as a template to mold for meeting their local needs. After all, Those protests in North Africa would never have happened without the actions of technology advancements in the west. This is the 21st century, the new age of intricacy.
The goals are complex. The achievements may not even be picked up on video phones. Is that really a bad thing?
