Their Hero’s Journey
Brilliant.
Oxford is – this is the way it’s always going to go, I mean, this is a large number of students doing this – it’s a small number of students with a strong social media presence who have seized upon this as their Hero’s Journey while they’re at Oxford before they go on to management consultancy or law.
Good point re why they’ve picked this particular issue to throw their advocacy efforts into – if they’d decided to fight for something that actually mattered that might jeopardise their future management consultancy or law careers.
The BBC calculated that there were about 200 demonstrators. From the University website: “There are more than 26,000 students at Oxford, including 12,683 undergraduates and 13,324 postgraduates.”
This is not a popular cause.
So it’s extremely noisy to make up for it.
