Heather Lynn started the facebook page Wachovia=Fail to freely share her thoughts to others on the Wachovia fee. Many people responded to her page and shared their thoughts on the fee which started the sharing stage. Heather Lynn shared her thoughts so others wanted to share their thoughts on the fee. It did not matter if people agreed with the fee or not, people wanted to share their thoughts and be heard.
The cooperation stage started, when people saw others thoughts on the fee because they wanted to respond and be heard. So when others saw that many people had joined the facebook page more and more people joined. And more and more poeple expressed their opinions in response to other people's opinions.
Lastly, the collective action stage started when Wachovia saw the responses from the many people on the facebook page. They then decided to drop the fee so they would not lose members. So the collective action from all the people on the facebook page made Wachovia drop the fee because they saw the responses from others. Therfore, Heather Lynn made a facebook page to share her thoughts, many people started cooperating beause they saw others cooperating, and collective action resulted in the change that Heather protested for. And the change was made from so many people responding to something that they felt was wrong.
