good example is amnesty international
they write letters to free political prisoners
1. come to understanding that letter writing is an effective tool which has had success in past
2. makes people aware of the injustices in their own countries
3. power of shame while sometimes underestimated, does work. maybe its dna maybe its psychology but when humam rights violations are exposed things do improve
4. understanding that the power of justice is stronger than any cynicism
