stululus diffusion
stimulus diffuson is when ideas travel across culture boundaries, how sequoia got the idea for the cherokee alphabet, how cricket got introduced to the trobriand islands. stuimulus diffusion, is see, is everywhere. in china, peopel ofgtn tend to borrow ideas from various interests of groups. McDonals, KFCs are borrowed and are dominating the chinese society right now. a movie i recently watched is borrowed form 'Devil Wears Prada, almost the scenes are similar where I find very intriging because I saw both movies and they are so similar. when CoCo Chanle went to Shanghai, she was shocked by women in Shanghai, how elegant they are, their hair so tight and neat at all times with many oils hair oils on their head and such. Stimulus diffusion is good because it spread good ideas around, causing people to look at differnet good things in different cultures. Stimulus diffusion is a bad thing, because when people don't know what they are and what they mean and just follow the ideas mindlessly is bad for people's mind and culture. Bring bad cultures to people having to do that.
