Hard-Wired for Hierarchy (abc news)
Are our brains hard-wired for social hierarchy?
I think most people would agree that the average human strives to exist within a well defined hierarchy. A question I have been recently asking myself is this; is social media technology changing this?
In a way, it is. Social media technology is allowing the human race to rewire social hierarchies to be more efficient. Empowering the individual to make choices and connections that go beyond traditional power structures.
