The answer is "How the movement contributes to the stability of society by offering the discontented a safe, controlled outlet for dissension".

An investigation of the informal organization behind the Occupy movement demonstrates that the most vocal members were very associated before the challenges started however have now to a great extent lost interest, say interpersonal organization scientists.
The Occupy Wall Street development started in September 2011 as a grass roots challenge the disparity, avarice and defilement related with the money related segment of the economy. The development received the trademark: "We are the 99%" which alludes to the dispersion of riches in the US between the wealthiest 1 for every penny and the rest.
