So far we have described Cause and Effect and Systems Theory and this Chapter will refer to both previous Chapters in exploring what a Universal Theory of Change might look like for those whose lives are on the margins, or at the extremes, of mainstream society, who we have called the Focus Group, and whose children may have experiences like those described in this post.
Now proposing a Theory of Change is a bit of a risk because, implied in proposing it, is the assumption that the theory or theories that we currently have can be improved upon.
And I truly believe that they can. Otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this website at all!
My journey, which I have found energising and stimulating in searching for the roots of change or specifically the roots of empowerment, is what this Chapter is all about.
It is divided into Six Sub-Chapters.
3.3.1 UNIVERSAL THEORY OF CHANGE – INTRODUCTION
3.3.2 UNIVERSAL THEORIES (GENERAL)
3.3.3 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF UNIVERSAL THEORIES OF CHANGE
3.3.4 UNIVERSAL THEORIES – ROOT FOUNDATIONS
