Google Maps alters disputed South China Sea shoal name - BBC News - 0 views

  • China claims ownership of large parts of the South China Sea, including the Scarborough Shoal, which lie a little more than 100 miles (160km) from the Philippines and 500 miles from China, and the Spratly Islands.

Diffusion Review ... ALS Ice Bucket Challenge? - 1 views

  •  
    What type(s)of diffusion would represent the ALS ice bucket challenge?

    What I saw of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge would be an example of hierarchical diffusion. It gained popularity as celebrities and well known people did it, and then spread around rapidly. It was a very clever way to raise money and awareness for the cause, because it was fun and easily circulated.
