Vocabulary
a force for good
1. Does the following sentence mean "the fact that the event last for more than 90 minutes plays the main role in that part of the description that knows the event a force for good"?
2. Does "a force for good" mean "a source and cause for goodness"? (more context: The point of mobile clubbing is that an activity normally reserved for special occasions and places infiltrates daily life so thoroughly as to be indistinguishable from it. It has the guerrilla quality of illegal raves but is totally legal. It is, in short, a force for good. This has become more pronounced since the London bombings last year.)
Context:
but it is the sustention of that ‘orgiastic impulse’ over some 90 minutes that is perhaps critical in the playing out of a second key feature of his analysis: this event as a ‘force for good’.
