Analysis of Science and Technology:

Political scientist Wilson and criminologist Karin put forward a "broken window theory". This theory holds that if someone breaks the window glass of a building, and this window can't be repaired in time, others may be connived by some hints to break more window glass. Over time, these broken windows give people a sense of disorder. As a result, in this insensitive atmosphere of the public, crime will breed and prosper. "broken window theory" is not only applied in social management, but also used in modern enterprise management.

butterfly effect

what is the butterfly effect? In December 1979, Lorenz gave a speech at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C.: A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil may cause a tornado in Texas. His speech and conclusion left a deep impression on people. Since then, the so-called "butterfly effect" has spread like wildfire, and its reputation has spread far and wide.

The reason why the butterfly effect is fascinating, exciting and thought-provoking lies not only in its bold imagination and charming aesthetic color, but also in its profound scientific connotation and inherent philosophical charm.

From a scientific point of view, the "butterfly effect" reflects an important feature of chaotic motion: the sensitive dependence of the long-term behavior of the system on initial conditions.

the traditional view of classical dynamics holds that the long-term behavior of the system is insensitive to the initial conditions, that is, the small changes in the initial conditions will make little difference to the future state. But chaos theory challenges the traditional view. Chaos theory holds that in a chaotic system, the very small changes of initial conditions will cause great differences in its future state after continuous amplification. We can use a folk song circulating in the west to illustrate this image. This ballad says:

Lost a nail and broke a shoe;

I broke a shoe and broke a war horse;

I broke a war horse and injured a knight;

wounded a knight and lost a battle;

lost a battle and lost an empire.

whether a nail on a horseshoe will be lost is a very small change in initial conditions, but its "long-term" effect is the fundamental difference between the existence and death of an empire. This is the so-called "butterfly effect" in the military and political fields. It sounds incredible, but it can really cause such bad consequences. Some seemingly trivial things may lead to the disintegration of the collective, so we must guard against the delay, otherwise it will be too late to regret.

how much do you know about the "butterfly effect" apocalypse?

recency effect

The most recent and last impression is often the strongest, which can dilute various factors that occurred before this. This is recency effect. There is an example: during the interview, the examiner told the candidate that he could go, but when the candidate was leaving the examination room, the examiner stopped him and said to him, you have answered our questions, and the judges didn't think much of it. What do you think of it? In fact, the examiner makes such a setting, which is the last test for graduates. I want to take this opportunity to examine the psychological quality and improvisation ability of candidates. If this question is answered brilliantly, it can make up for the shortcomings in the previous interview; If you don't answer well, you may lose all your efforts because of this last key question.

Frog Effect

Once upon a time, there was a fable about boiled frogs: if you put a frog in boiling water, it will jump out; If you put a frog in warm water, it will feel comfortable. Then you slowly heat up, even if it reaches 8 degrees Celsius, the frog will still stay in the water as if nothing had happened. As the temperature continues to rise to 9-1, the frog will become weaker and weaker. In this case, the frog has lost its ability to escape from danger until it is cooked. In the second situation, why can't the frog get out of danger by himself? This is because the organs inside frogs that sense threats from bottom to top can only sense drastic environmental changes, but can't respond to slow and gradual environmental changes in time. This is a "frog effect".

The "frog effect" tells us a truth: "Born in sorrow, died in comfort."

Beauty Effect

The owner of a cafeteria in Rome came up with a clever plan to earn tips. He invited a very beautiful girl to sit at the counter and collect money in order to fascinate the male guests and give generously. Who knows that a few days after the girl went to work, she said to her boss, "I think I am not as beautiful as before." The boss asked quickly, "What's going on?" "Now, all the male guests are counting their change repeatedly at the counter."

catfish effect

Spaniards love to eat sardines, but sardines are very delicate and extremely unsuitable for the environment after leaving the sea. It won't be long before you die. In order to prolong its life, local fishermen came up with a way to put catfish, the natural enemy of several sardines, in a transport container. In order to avoid being swallowed by natural enemies, sardines swim quickly in a limited space, but maintain a strong vitality. This is the catfish effect in economics. In order to survive and develop better, those who are afraid will work harder than others, and the harder they work, the faster they run. ○

Halo effect

Halo originally refers to the vague phenomenon when the moon is enveloped by a halo. Halo effect is a common psychological phenomenon, that is, when evaluating a person, it is often because of a strong and clear perception of one of his quality characteristics that other qualities are covered up.

If graduates can skillfully use this halo effect and fully display their own advantages in job application, they will certainly leave a deep impression on the recruiter, win the appreciation of the other party and succeed in the interview. For example, when the recruiter asks about your English level, you can talk to him skillfully in English, which will inevitably arouse the recruiter's great interest and probably make a deal with you on the spot. However, when using this effect, we must pay attention to the fact that we can't deliberately create a "halo" effect. That kind of illusory behavior is often counterproductive.

The barrel effect

There is a famous "barrel theory" in management, which refers to using a barrel to hold water. If the wooden boards that make up a barrel are uneven, then the water capacity it can hold is not determined by the longest wooden board in the barrel, but by the barrel. It can be seen that in the development process of things, the length of the "short board" determines its overall development degree. Just as the quality of a product depends on the component with the lowest quality, not on the component with the best quality; The overall quality of an organization does not depend on the quality of the best molecules in the organization, but on the quality of the most general molecules in the organization. ..... This phenomenon is often called "barrel effect" in management.

what does the "barrel effect" inspire you?

Matthew effect

There is a story in Matthew chapter of the Bible: "When a man wants to go abroad, he calls his servants and gives them his possessions. Give each man money according to his ability. One gave five thousand, one gave two thousand and one gave one thousand. And went abroad. He who received 5, went into business and earned another 5,. In the same way, he who received two thousand earned another two thousand. But the one who received the thousand went to dig the ground and hid his master's money. After a long time, the owners of those servants came and settled accounts with them. He who received five thousand pieces of silver came with the other five, saying, Lord, you gave me five thousand pieces of silver, and behold, I have earned five more. The master said, well, you good and faithful servant. You are loyal to a few things, and I put many things in your charge. You can come in and enjoy your master's happiness. The one who received the two talents also came and said, Lord, you gave me two talents, and behold, I have earned another two talents. The master said, well, you good and faithful servant. You are loyal to a few things, and I put many things in your charge. You can come in and enjoy your master's happiness. And he who received the thousand also came and said, Lord, I know that you are a man with the heart to reap where you have not sown and gather where you have not scattered. I'm afraid, go and bury your 1 silver in the ground. Look, your original silver is here. The master replied, you evil and lazy servant, you know that I have to reap where I didn't sow and gather where I didn't scatter. Just give my money to the money changer, and when I come, I can get it back with interest. Take this thousand from him and give it to him who has ten thousand. Whatever you have, give it to him, so that he can have more. If you don't have it, even what he has will be taken away. "

Robert Mert, a scientist, called the phenomenon in the story "Matthew effect"-that is, once any individual, group or region has achieved success and progress in a certain aspect, it will produce an accumulated advantage and have more opportunities to achieve greater success and progress.

Matthew effect is everywhere in real life.
