What is the relationship between social epidemic and exponential growth?

Sure, I can provide another example. Let's consider the case of the Ice Bucket Challenge. This was a social media campaign that went viral in 2014, where people were challenged to pour a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads and then nominate others to do the same, all in an effort to raise awareness for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). This campaign crossed a threshold and spread like wildfire, reaching millions of people worldwide and raising significant funds for ALS research. It's a perfect example of a social epidemic, where a simple idea gained massive popularity and had a significant impact.

Sure, I can provide another example of the Tipping Point principle in action. Consider the rise of social media platforms like Facebook. Initially, Facebook was only used by a small group of Harvard students. However, as more people started joining, the value of the platform increased for each new user (network effect). This led to a rapid increase in users, or a tipping point, after which Facebook spread like wildfire and became the global phenomenon it is today. This is a classic example of how an idea or trend crosses a threshold and spreads rapidly, embodying the Tipping Point principle.
