SOCIAL NETWORKS have always attracted me. This is why , when I have been suggested to read this book I secured it immediately. Although the book appeared in 2009 I think still is prevalent and containing most of the actual current values too..
The authors start by making the following comment...
“Scientists, philosophers, and others who study society have generally divided into two camps: those who think individuals are in control of their destinies, and those who believe that social forces (ranging from a lack of good public education to the presence of a corrupt government) are responsible for what happens to us.”
We tend to blame anything beyond ourself. Bloodfeud and vendetta were very common during last centuries all over the world.
“What possible sense is there in injuring or killing the innocent?”

“Students with studious roommates become more studious”“Diners sitting next to heavy eaters eat more food. Homeowners with neighbors who garden wind up with manicured lawns”
The influence of our surrounding people is enormous. A friend of mine wa at the edge of a divorce. The first question of the family counselor to the husband was "do your wife has a close fried recently got divorced? If so there no way to escape "
The bank rush is taken in the scope of such kind behaviour of crowds during 2008 bubbled morgage burst and banking crisis which influenced all the world .
