Friendships Can Go A Long Way.

According to Charles Duhigg, “social habits are why some initiatives become world changing movements, while other fail to ignite” (87). Social habits can include friendships, “weak ties”, “strong ties”, and being involved in your community. In order to make a change you have to have people on your side to fight for what you want. Rosa Park showed how effective social habits can be in the world. Having friendships in the world is how you get places, whether it be your best friend or a friend of a friend. Since Parks was involved with “church, social group[s], community center, or neighborhood organization”, she well known by a lot of people (88). Being active in many clubs or organizations helped her to get her name out in her community. After the incident when she got arrested her friends and friends of a friend, immediately took action to help her. So many people knew her or of her because she was involved with her community. Social habits can be an effective way to make a change. However, in order for social habits to work effectively you need to be known in your town or community, and have a lot of people that are willing to make a difference. Since Rosa Parks was well known and had many people on her side a social change was able to occur.
