SOC 3332 Lecture 3: Lecture 3 basic concepts
Document Summary
Flesh out network theories in specific examples of your choosing. Take the concept and use it to enter into specific modes of analysis. Min 3 basic concepts and show how this network is exemplified. If we add a temporal line, then we will form an actual triangle. A knows b and a knows c and now, b knows c/c knows b. In any network where one node has two ties, through time the other two nodes will become tied together as well. Defined through cohesiveness - maximal complete sub graph of three or more ties. All the members of this clique are connected to each other. The nodes are equivalent, no hierarchy but just relationality. They can grow or not - accept new members or not. Key feature of a network - we are directly and indirectly linked to other people.
