ABSTRACT

Heroes are most effective not alone but in a network. It’s through forming a network that people have the resources to bring their heroic impulses to life.

(Phil Zimbardo, 2011)

On a cold February evening in 2012, Canadian teen, Paige Dayal flew across time and space to save the life of young man in England (DiManno, 2012). Later, that same year, frustrated by the maiming and torture of children, over three million individuals set out to capture war criminal, Joseph Kony (Kony Campaign, 2015).1 In the spring of 2014, distraught by the sudden disappearance of a Malaysian airliner, millions of individuals joined the search and rescue efforts-scanning the seas for signs of the missing airliner and her passengers (Fishwick, 2014).2
