Duhigg really opened my eyes to a different perspective in creating social change on a larger scale. When learning about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, I had always thought that it was their goal to fight against racism. In reality it was the people around them that began this change. Both of their weak and strong ties is what make them so well known. Both were known in their towns before they even started the movements. Through this movements, both of their goals was not to force people to change but just teach them new habits that would become part of their norms. In Rosa Parks case, the social habits of others is what made her case so well known. When someone that you know gets arrested it is instinct to fight for justice while when it is a complete stranger, most people will just not get involved in the situation. Eventually, weak ties begin to get involved through friends of friends. This will form the social change in a community. Peer pressure to lose these ties is also what causes people to conform into these movements. If you do not follow what people in your social group is doing, it is feared that one will lose their social standing. Overall, social change is not formed from forcing people to change their minds but standing up for these ties and fearing of losing them.
