The ripple effect is often used colloquially to mean a multiplicative effect. Unlike the domino effect which only serves one direction, wave propagation is more complex. In physics, the Huygen-Fresnel principle states that every point on a wave front is itself the source of spherical wavelets, these mutually interfere and form a new wavefront.
In sociology, the ripple effect can be observed in how individual interactions can affect the overall system dynamics, often times reorganizing it into a "new normal". Information, and therefore behavior, can be both quickly and slowly spread, from individual to individual and community to community, broadening its impact like a wave in the far field limit as well as its close surroundings, causing both globalization and segregation. Our event will cover a variety of topics which currently affects or begins to reach our local and global community from very diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
