The Look

I look out into an intimidating body of water, after a drop of sweat falls off my face from biking to this beautiful destination, known as Lake Michigan. After I scope out the frigid windy lake, I walk down the bluff to begin my journey of learning to sail alone. As I touch the sand for the first time that day, it felt like I was pushing against a hot iron.

There are four major characteristics of NIT, but I would like to select another four important key points. The first term – social contagion, was used by Nicholas Christakis in his speech about social networks that help to predict epidemics.
