The reign of Zine Al Abidin Ben Ali and its subsequent demise reflect two defining principles in human political behaviour. On the one hand, the average person values safety and security over freedom. On the other, injustice and dispossession create intolerable dissonance in the human psyche which the individual must address first by understanding its causes and the alternative approaches to its resolution, then by identifying and eliminating the specific barriers to change or reframing them into something else (see Don Edward Beck and Christopher Cowan, Spiral Dynamics, pp. 6-7).
