Consistency, sacrifices, and groupmembership are factors that determine the success of a minority in facilitating socialchange.
Similarity in terms of group membership increases the likelihood of minority influence.
Minoritygroups play an important role in facilitating socialchangeby influencing an entire society to change their attitude, behaviours and beliefs.
When a minority has influence to start a movement of others, they make a change to become a majority. Martin Luther King spoke as a minority but soon challenged the American government and created a snowballeffect.
