Summary/Abstract: Small groups have been and continue to be the basis of performance in all areas. But concerning the area which refers to exerting an influence on large groups -an abstract area, its performances being quantified in something similarly abstract (except for the third hand consequences, if we can use this concept) we are addressing both an art and a science, skillfully practiced by a handful of capable individuals, very precise coordinated, whom concerted actions are difficult to trace and especially difficult to counteract. In this respect, we can assume that a small selected community, by pushing the right buttons, can generate o redoubtable source of transformation, which can shape the target’s perception, even by going against its own traditional rules. And in this logic is very interesting to observe the framework, which can be considered bushy, with a phylum of closely well implemented strategies, on some large areas of competence.
