final blog on the tipping point

One type of social change i would like to contribute to community is to try and destroy the racial borders that have become a part our society. I had to go to iup punxy branch campus for the first year and at first i was very upset. However, when i got there i learned that everyone there had that same common disdain for there situation and it ended up being a bonding experience. In one house party you would see inner city students on scholarships mix it up with rural white students with completely different upbringings. I feel I made many friends there that i would not have been able to make here on campus, due to the fact that here there are enough people where cliques and groups of similar backgrounds form, hindering the possibility for friendships. In punxy the social barriers were broken down by the small size of the dorms and the bonding experience of being in the same odd situation of being in rural PA. I know there is a way to break down the barriers on a larger scale, but it would take alot more too accomplish.

My favorite chapter was at the end of the law of the few. I loved the findings of the physical synchrony between people when they interacted. When slowed down, it shows that inaudible communication is majorly integrated with audible communication.
I will take alot with me after reading this book. I was always interested in why things are the way they are, this book helps introduce a very important topic in understanding the world.
