Describe specific traits that these stages could share
with other illnesses?

5. FEVER MODEL OF REVOLUTION
Much like an illness, revolutions can also be studied in stages

6. This stage in an illness is when the cause of the sickness first comes
into contact with the individual, infecting them, but not yet causing
any symptoms to present themselves.
What would this stage be like in a revolution?
In a revolution, this stage would involve the political, social, intellectual,
or economic causes. In some cases, these causes could fester for
many years before showing themselves in the form of actual
revolutionary action.

7. This stage in an illness is when sickness starts to affect the person
in observable ways. Temperature may rise. A cough might present
itself. The individual might become weak and queasy.
What would this stage be like in a revolution?
In a revolution, this stage would be the first to involve direct
action resulting from the social, political, intellectual, or economic
causes of the incubation stage. This stage might involve the publication
of works calling for a change, street level riots by the common people,
or more direct attempts at changing the society.

8. This is the critical stage in an illness where two things can happen.
The individual either breaks the fever after a heightened stage
of illness or the individual gets progressively worse and does not
recover.
What would this stage
be like in a revolution?
Crisis Stage
In a revolution, this stage would be the make or break part of the
struggle. It may involve conflict where sides for and against
the revolution compete. This competition could take the form of
debate or full-scale war. Successful revolutions survive this stage.
Those that do not are usually considered failed rebellions.

9. This stage involves recovering from the illness. The individual might
be weakened from the experience, but he or she will eventually
emerge healthy and with new knowledge and experience that might
prevent the illness from occurring again.
What would this stage be like in a revolution?
Convalescence
In a revolution, this stage would involve recovering from the extreme
disruptions of the crisis stage. In general, the political, social,
intellectual, or economic causes of the revolution must be addressed in
some way, though not necessarily to the satisfaction of all
revolutionaries.
