Will of a Nation is a system providing a platform for social action. This app and software is geared to force one prominent issue a month into the spotlight. Members would place a dedicated funding amount of $5 per month. The funding quantity from the members would be transfered into a locked-in account.
Each member after opening the Will of a Nation app will be asked two simple questions. What is your social issue? and what action do you propose to take to rectify the issue? The software will then employ keyword matching to identify a set of highly-supported social issues taken from the answers of the users.
The set of highly-supported social issues will then show up in the platform news feed. The issue will be acampanied by a popular piece of news footage from online sources which will help clarify the dilemma at hand.
Members, after having watched the top 20 issues that were accumulated within the news feed can now choose the issue that they would like to see resolved that month.
Remember not all issues will move forward, but since this system is designed to resolve one issue per month, your favourite issue could come into the spotlight again at a later date.
The next step, is the 1st stage News feed. The top 10 voted on issues will land here, in the 1st stage along with a news clip which briefly describes the issue. When a member clicks on an issue they would like to know more about, a page opens and that issue is front and centre. On the left hand side and scrolling downward will be advocate videos. Advocate videos allow users to make videos advocating their point of view, and explaining why other members should vote, for their issue of choice.
The members are then given two days, to do their due diligence, and watch advocate videos, and to vote.
The 2nd stage has the 5 top voted on issues. The advocate videos with the most likes also move forward allowing them to stay in the public eye and keep contributing to the knowledge pool.
The 3rd stage, will only consist of the top voted issue. If this issue moves forward it will be actioned. In order for the issue of choice to move forward it requires 51% of users to vote YES to have it actioned. The reason for this, is that not all users will be satisfied. Obviously not everyone’s issues won. It still gives everyone a chance to make a final decision.
The process does not stop there!!!
It was a fun, and efficient way of voting in a unanimous issue of choice. Now we will need to figure out, the best method to see this issue through to its fruition?
That’s where the ACTION STAGES begin.
Do you remember when the app first opens, the user was asked two questions.
One was the issue, but the other was what action should be taken to resolve the issue.
By answering the second question your answer was matched against those of other users. The top 20 answers for the chosen issue that won now automatically end up in a first initial action feed to be voted on.
The action stage once again allows for advocate videos to accompany the action items as they progress through the stage process.
The voters once again have two days to watch advocate videos and enough time to vote for the action that they believe should be taken.
.
The 2nd ACTION STAGE then goes through the same process. What this system is meant to do is drive discussion amongst the membership. It allows the users time to make intelligent and informed decisions by watching videos and reading what their friends and other app users prerogatives are.
In the 3rd and final action stage, all the users votes have finally chosen a method in which to action the social issue of choice. The action will include ways to allocate the users money in order to achieve the users goal and ultimate, WILL OF A NATION!
