Question

A society named for these constructs is founded on the “space of flows,” according to the first book of a trilogy by Manuel Castells (“kuh-STAILSS”). These constructs’ representations can be simplified to an individual in a process called translation. Michel Callon and Bruno Latour developed a theory of society based on actors and these constructs. (-5[1])Types of these constructs that follow an asymptotic power law are known as “scale-free.” (10[1])Non-reinforced links in these constructs were studied by (10[1])Mark (10[1])Granovetter (10[1])in the article “The Strength of Weak Ties.” (10[1])A dyad (10[1])represents the relationship between two individuals in these constructs. (10[1])Stanley Milgram’s small-world experiment estimated that there are “six degrees of separation” along these constructs. For 10 points, name these graphs showing the connections between people. ■END■ (10[2])
