1. I think that one social change needed in my community would be a reduction in racism. My town is a small town made up of white middle and lower class people, many of them farmers. In my high school there were only two black kids and needless to say they weren't really accepted by most of the other kids. I feel that that needs to change. Because we are such a small town many people don't get to experience life outside of it. I think that accepting and befriending others that aren't like us is a way to learn about the world. It's a good way to get an idea of what else is out there away from our small piece of the world. I think the only way to help tip this social epidemic is to be one of the people who start it, and get my friends to as well. Once we get to know other people we can tells others about them and help change people's views.
2. I think the most important chapter was chapter 3, about the stickiness factor. Anyone can cause a social epidemic, it's getting it to stick that's a big issue. I like the example they gave about the magazines competing with the gold treasure boxes and getting people to interact with advertising to get them to remember it.
3. Again, I think the stickiness factor is something I can take with me. After college I plan on being a teacher and I think by using the stickiness factor I will be able to help my students not only learn better, but remember it. It's important for students to take the information they learn with them throughout life.
