- Because values are set when people are young, value change can be slow.
-
- Singular value decomposition (SVD) is one method of identifying the factors underlying two-mode (valued) data.
- The resulting matrix is valued data that can be examined with SVD and factor analysis; however, the low number of contributors to many initiatives, and the very restricted variance of the scale are not ideal.
- Figure 17.6 shows the "singular values" extracted from the rectangular donor-by-initiative matrix using Tools>2-Mode Scaling>SVD.
- The "singular values" are analogous to "eigenvalues" in the more common factor and components scaling techniques.
- Two-mode scaling of California donors and initiatives by Single Value Decomposition: Singular values

- Counterculture is a term describing the values and norms of a cultural group that run counter to those of the social mainstream of the day.
- Modern American Marxist political groups are examples of countercultures -- they promote a worldview and set of norms and values that are contrary to the dominant American system.
- Counterculture is a sociological term used to describe the values and norms of behavior of a cultural group, or subculture, that run counter to those of the social mainstream of the day, the cultural equivalent of political opposition.
- The counterculture in the United States lasted from roughly 1964 to 1973 — coinciding with America's involvement in Vietnam — and reached its peak in 1967, the "Summer of Love. " The movement divided the country: to some Americans, these attributes reflected American ideals of free speech, equality, world peace, and the pursuit of happiness; to others, the same attributes reflected a self-indulgent, pointlessly rebellious, unpatriotic, and destructive assault on America's traditional moral order.
- Second, a decline of idealism and hedonism occurred as many notable counterculture figures died, the rest settled into mainstream society and started their own families, and the "magic economy" of the 1960s gave way to the stagflation of the 1970s.

- A ritual is a set of actions performed mainly for their symbolic value.
- Rituals can fulfill religious obligations or ideals, satisfy spiritual or emotional needs of the practitioners, strengthen of social bonds, provide social and moral education, demonstrate of respect or submission, allow one to state one's affiliation, obtain social acceptance or approval for some event—or rituals are sometimes performed just for the pleasure of the ritual itself.
- Alongside the personal dimensions of worship and reverence, rituals can have social functions that express, fix and reinforce the shared values and beliefs of a society.

- Krackhardt defines a pure, "ideal typical" hierarchy as an "out-tree" graph.
- Krackhardt develops index numbers to assess the extent to which each of the four dimensions deviates from the pure ideal type of an out-tree, and hence develops four measures of the extent to which a given structure resembles the ideal typical hierarchy.
- There are a number of nodes that receive information from multiple others, so the network is not "efficient. " The least upper bound measure (the extent to which all actors have a boss in common) reports a value of 1.25, which would appear to be out of range and, frankly, is a puzzle.

- For example, 10 percent of land owners in Baltimore, Maryland own 58 percent of the taxable land value.

- Communism, an economic system that (in its ideal form) consists of state ownership of assets and industry and the equal distribution of resources among the population, can be seen as an attempt to eradicate wealth inequality through government policy.
- An idea taken from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto is that wealth should be distributed as according to the precepts of, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. " While states such as the Soviet Union and China have implemented communist systems to varying degrees, Marxism has never been realized in its ideal form, and no country has had a totally equal distribution of wealth.
