Human culture is changing constantly. The randomization of our unique culture is a product of our influence. To see this cultural change we must seek into Gladwell’s literature, Small Change: Why the revolution will not be tweeted, where he explains that every network has a “weak-tie” or a “strong-tie” with their own capabilitites. To even further more our understanding we must also recognize Gregory Orr’s personal experience while being a part of the Civil Rights movement in the deep south.
