 <title>Question 4: What are the barriers to social change?</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo/question-4-what-are-the-barriers-to-social-change</link>
 <description>&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Scott Case, Board Chairman of &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.networkforgood.org/&quot;&gt;Network for Good&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;/sponsor/advocates&quot;&gt;NetSquared Advocate,&lt;/a&gt; let us know what he thinks is the greatest barrier preventing web-based technology from producing social change while answering our &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;/netsquareds-four-questions&quot;&gt;Four Questions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;The biggest barrier will be translating communication into specific&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; action. We can all agree that people should not go hungry in America but what exactly are we going to do about it?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo/question-4-what-are-the-barriers-to-social-change&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
