what do you understand by "Domino Effect"?
493082
also called a "chain reaction"- one event triggers another, which triggers another, and so on, so the end result is of a far greater scope than the original event.\n\nThis is what has happened from 9/11, for instance. We have homeland security, illegal wiretaps, Patriot acts, airport screenings which harass the innocent, racial profiling, prejudice vs. innocent muslims who aren't terrorists, war in Iraq, and super-spiked gas prices...but have yet to actually catch Osama Bin Laden. So, in effect, he won.

I can't help you justify generalizations, however, I can type about use of it in logic.  \n\nFallacies:\n\n1.)  Accident:  When one applies a generalization to an individual case that it does not properly govern. \n\n2.)  Converse Accident:   When one moves carelessly or too quickly from a single case to an indefensibly broad generalizaiton.\n\nAssumptions:\n\n1.)  An assumption is an induction.  Its like assuming the sun will rise tomorrow.  We assume its going to happen because it has for millions of years.   \n\n2.) The bad thing about assumption is that you are using probabilities to create a conclusion.

Dominoes (or "dominos") generally refers to the individual or collective gaming pieces making up a domino set (sometimes called a deck or pack) or to the games played with these pieces. (In the area of mathematical tilings and polyominoes the word domino often refers to any rectangle formed from joining two squares edge to edge.)\n\nDominoes are descendants of dice. The two ends on each of the original Chinese dominoes represented one of the 21 combinations that can occur with the throw of two dice. Modern western dominoes, however, have blank ends on them as well and so the number of dominoes is generally 28. Dominoes were apparently unknown in Europe until the 18th century and may have been invented in their modern form in Dominican Republic. The dark spots on light faces apparently reminded people of masquerade masks with eyeholes (called dominoes) and thus gave the playing pieces their name. Chinese dominoes do not have blanks, but some whole tiles are duplicated.\n\n\ndomino:\n    1801, from Fr. domino (1771), probably (on comparison of the black tiles of the game) from the meaning "hood with a cloak worn by canons or priests," from L. dominus "lord, master" (see domain), but the connection is not clear. Klein thinks it might be directly from dominus, "because he who has first disposed his pieces becomes 'the master.' " Metaphoric use in geopolitics is from April 1954, first used by U.S. President Eisenhower in a "New York Times" piece, in reference to what happens when you set up a row of dominos and knock the first one down.

A lot of it is "division of responsibility".  If something happens and one person witnesses it, that person realizes that he or she is the only person that has responsibility for subsequent events.  When you start adding people to this scenario, each person mentally reduces their own responsibility for events, so with 10 people, most people will only feel 10% responsibility.\n\nIt is (sadly) not really irrational for what happens in mobs - often it is the removal of responsibility that allows people to act on their selfish impulses.

The butterfly effect is an element of chaos theory. It is used as an example of how a small change to the input of a system can lead to a large change in the output. In this case a butterfly flapping its wings in india can change the course of a hurricane in the carribean.

You are right.\nPrayers change the course of fate.\nIt is a matter of experience

I'm not sure what you are looking for but I will have a stab at it.\n1.A butterfly chain is a piece of jewellery the second two links will tell you more with pictures.\n2.If you mean the butterfly effect, it is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. This is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.

I believe it is the domino theory. It states that if a non-communist government falls in a region, then a communist one will come in to replace it. The policy of the United States against the domino theory was the policy of containment, which meant to push Communism out of anywhere it tried to expand.

Actually, the term "signal" is very ambiguous in this context, isn't it?  You could take it as cause, effect, or snowballed into both.  I think I would go with the snowball effect.  It was a failure of democracy to elect such a chancellor, and it signaled (that is, created a pivotal point) that democracy was basically shooting itself in the head.  It also demonstrated that propaganda can do amazing things to "democracy."  It is very vulnerable in that regard.  When you elect a tyrant, you get what you deserve.  But the rest of the world did not deserve the same fate.  And the people who voted against him in the country do not deserve the same fate.\n\nI voted against Bush, didn't you?

I have heard it as "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" As for people and environment.  Someone cuts down a forest- what happens? Soil biodiversity changes, animal species in that area change, CO2 consumption in that area decreases.\n   People put more black top up- absorbs and reflects heat warming the earth's surface more. There are a ton of examples, I am not sure what you are looking for specifically.

That's a very long explanation. Buy the book named "Influence" It was written by Robert B. Cialdini the psyc professor at Arizona U. It is great. All about marketing influence.\nHere's a link to it at Amazon.\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0688128165/sr=8-1/qid=1143925492/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-0824750-6899247?%5Fencoding=UTF8

I have learned over the years that the simplest explanation is usually right.  Some people come up with extremely convoluted and extraordinary explanation for things that happen.\n\nBut one thing I have learned after ten years as a P.O. is that just when you thought you've seen it all...you find out you were wrong!

I just sent you an email and I have something posted on Geocities. I need your coments on if anything needs to be changed on the movie. Just about everything is changable, or adjustable, unless you want smaller dominos, that would take time. I would have to change each one at the beginning and again at the end of the motion, or the dominos would get larger as they come out of the hat.

In a nutshell.. the butterfly effect proposes that the flap of a butterfly's wing in one part of the world say for examle the unitedstates, could cause a tornado to occur in another part of the world for example Europe. So one extremely small event could cause something majorly catastrophic to happen. I believe this was first discovered with sizemographs and earthquake patterns. It's not a fact, just theory, but there is a lot to support it. So chaos theory basically says that any organized system is prone to collapse or fall apart because chaos will eventually be introduced into it. Like in the movie Jurassic park there was a scientist played by Jeff Goldblume who was constantly trying to convince the owner of the island that eventually all the dinosaurs would escape or something bad would happen because of chaos. He was all into chaos theory.. and lo and behold he was right. Ofcourse that's just a movie, but chaos theory applies much to real life.
