Document Summary
Index of dissimilarity (do this with rich and poor people) We want to find some way to measure/represent how segregated people. Sometimes people on the extreme end are the ones that drive the results- thus making it difficult to predict the results. Using granovettor"s model to show why no one would expect people joining a certain cause. Each person has a threshold (a number of people that need to join a movement before you do) We want to find out what causes a collective movement to occur/when it doesn"t happen. 1- once their friend buys the hat 1 does. 2- once 0,1 buys the hat so does 2. Nothing will happen because no one has a threshold of 1. Average: 2. 5- not very willing to get hats, but they got them because 0 and 1 got hats. Collective action is more likely to happen if.
