On December 1, 1955, a young woman by the name of Rosa Parks sat down in a bus seat after a long day of work at the Montgomery Fair. Rosa was a seamstress and had been working rough all day. There used to be three sections on the bus: the white section up front, the unclaimed section in the center, and the black section in the back. Most people think that the whites sat in the front and the blacks sat in the back. I even thought that there were only two sections until Charles Duhigg stated that there were three sections not just two in the excerpt we read from his book called, The Power of Habit. The bus driver asked Rosa to get up so a white man could sit down, but Rosa refused to do so. He later pulled over and got the cops involved and she was arrested for refusing in their presence. Many others had been arrested for refusing not just that week, but that year. What sparked the rallies and the movement of equality was something Duhigg calls weak-ties. Weak-ties are the connections between people that spark engagement in an activity just like peer pressure. For example, if you know someone who is engaged in an activity and you do not want to take part in it because it is not your strong spot, you don’t want word to go through the grapevine that you are bad at what that person is doing, you would rather just you and that person know and not participate in that activity. Weak-ties however refer to the gathering of the black community in Montgomery, Alabama. Charles Duhigg claimed, “On a playground, peer pressure is dangerous. In adult life, it’s how business gets done and communities self-organize”(92).  Having weak-ties is the grown up way of saying peer pressure. If you do not participate in something everyone in that community will soon know that you do not like to be involved in community activities, and in what Duhigg is referring to, the rally for racial equality. Weak-ties lead to huge rallies and social change, and if all communities acted this way towards their goals, imagine what changes could be made within their communities.
