Homework class 9 & 10

1.The main elements or factors critical to Paul' successfully spreading the Christian message is that he used the most powerful networks of those time. Although he abolished some of the rules to be a christian and that had a certain litlle effect on people, his walking through the most biggest groups at that time and spreading its story was the most effective.

2.Even on the recent condition of the world, something like incident on christianity at the early 1c could happen again. For example, most of people in the world are now inclined to believe capitalism is right or have good effect on people. Since we saw the fall of soviet union and the prosperity of the U.S through the media such as TV and newspaper and magazines on which we relied most at that time, we believe that capitalism is some how "good".
TV and newspapers must have more effect on people ways of thinking because, at that time people were nervous at the situation of the world, more people must read papers and sow TV to understand what going on within the world than it is now. That can be one of the way how network works.

3. A new kind of maps that have been made of our interconnectivity is reflected on the national and other budget. For example, the administration measures how many people go to hospital and how much treatment we have got. Next, they make a trial calculation of the future health insurance income and payment. All that procedure has terms with our interconnectivity between medicine and us.
I, on personal occasion, would like to see maps on scholarship and the educational success(widely, the relationship between "money" and "education"). That is the reason I originaly went to education faculty at former university.

4. That these maps has the same structure as whole is the "real surprise" that these maps has revealed. I am not that surprised because I am now taking Game theory class and that is applied to a number of teritory of study. It originated in mathematical discovery, however now it is now teached in the economics classses and applied in the politics studies and affect decision made in the war.

5.Author defines the nature of most scientific reserch in the 20th century as study which lay more emphasis on individual part than the whole system. The problem of this attitude turned out to be that even each components has studid enough and understood, we are still not sure how it works in the "system". Although it was first purpose of scientists to understand the whole system such as Universe, they did not find the clue to understand the inter effects between each compunents.

6.Barabasi predict that the scientific reserch will focus on the spreading networks because it will be more dominant in the future. I agree with that prediction on the reason that it is now the most important work to undertake marketing research in the most companies and the marketing research is absolutely one of the applications of the network studies. In the Capitalism world, where money gathers will gather intellectuality naturally. If a big company with lots of capital tried to survey the spending power of comsumers, it will pay enomous amount of money to a think tank. Now that the world is connected universaly and each company, government, and person came to be unabled to grasp the connection between each of them, they would not hesitate to support the scientists to reserch into networks.
