引用文章草根化

我回應小帥哥針對"草根與國政" 回應:

草根是"人民個體的力量" 不需要"國際觀"的.

草根不是"本土化",草根化是人民力量的聚集. 個人認為: 草根性夠強的族群(不見得是種族, 可能是社區, 鄉鎮,特殊團體"勞工 教師聯誼會",荒野保護協會等等 ) 對"國政"的依賴會是較輕微的.

一時說不清楚, 我想還是借用"維基"的資料:

草根

草根一般是指同政府或統治者相對的勢力、階層，一般認為此含義和意識形態有著一定的聯繫。而草根的另一含義就是同主流和精英文化或精英階層相對的文化、階層。草根這一詞的應用與發展同網路時代的到來有著密切的聯繫。與「草根」一詞相對的是「精英」，所以草根文化相對的即是精英文化。

在實際的應用中，人們通常會將一些民間組織或非政府組織的群體稱為「草根階層」。也有把非政府的組織稱為草根性人民組織。

同時一些非主流的民間、小市民文化等，會被稱作草根文化。典型的例子有臺灣民進黨行動綱領中，有一條文如此寫著：「文化鼓勵草根文化，維護文化財產及民間技藝，加強巡迴展覽演奏，平衡城鄉文化發展。」

詞源、歷史

「草根」一詞意譯自英文grass roots.在英文當中其一般釋義為：農業區， 基層， 基礎等，也可以引申至普通民眾階層等。人們之所以會選擇草根一詞作為普通大眾的代名詞，一般認為因野草雖平凡但具有頑強的生命力，一棵草就像一個普通的人，其力量極其有限，但無數的草就像無數的人具有強大的力量一樣。因此人們認為野草有著民眾的精神，它有著人性弱點，同時也具有強大的凝聚力、強大的生命力及獨立性，有如「野火燒不盡，春風吹又生」。

現在普遍認為草根(grass roots)始於19世紀的美國，當時美國正處淘金熱（Gold Rush）時期，有傳說，黃金蘊藏在草根生長旺盛的山脈土壤表層下面。逐漸地「草根」有了「基層民眾」的含義。而「草根」進入中國則於20世紀80年代，在中國又被賦予了更深、更廣的含義。

網路時代的發展，現在的草根又被聯繫上了網誌（blog），現在普遍認為普通網誌就是草根，網誌網站就是草根的聚集區。

A grassroots political movement is one driven from below by the fundamental constituents of a community. The term implies that the genesis of the described political movement is natural, even spontaneous, and imposes a dichotomy between this and a movement orchestrated from above by traditional power structures.

Technique

Grassroots organize and lobby through procedure including:

• door-to-door, also known as canvassing
• phone banking
• house parties
• meetings
• putting up posters
• talking with pedestrians on the street (often involving informational clipboards)
• gathering signatures for petitions
• setting up information tables
• raising money from many small donors for political advertising or campaigns
• organizing large demonstrations
• asking individuals to submit opinions to media outlets and government officials
• get out the vote activities which includes the practices of reminding people to vote and/or transporting them to polling places.

• Origins

  In the United States, the first use of the word "grassroots" is thought to have been coined by Senator Albert Jeremiah Beveridge of Indiana, who declared of the Progressives Party in 1912 that: "This party [the Progressive Party] has come from the grass roots. It has grown from the soil of people's hard necessities." ^[1]

  Faking a grassroots movement is known as astroturfing. Astroturfing - as the name suggests - is named after a popular artificial lawn, astroturf. Astroturfing is similar in practice of the grassroots movement, except that those behind it, the lobbyists, hide their agenda by appearing as specific individuals voicing their opinions. The term has incorporated itself into common speech. ^[2]
