The article I chose is triad. I will cover more of the basics of what a triad is and what it does in societies daily lives. I will add pictures and examples of various triads across the world and how they have either shaped or affected us. Also I will go more in depth of Georg Simmel and his view of triad in Sociology. Posing other questions as to where "triad" is derived from and how it is pronounced. Along with, stating how triad can alter the way we speak and communicate to others surrounding us. I also would like to contribute to not only how Georg Simmel views triads, but how he came to create the idea of a triad. Also further discuss the basis of a dyad and how that correlates to the topic.

WEEK 6

- Things that I will improve- This article can be improved with an overall view of what a triad is and how society uses it in our daily lives. As well as, creating a better format as to how the article will be categorized. Subsections can help organize the articles information in a proper manner instead of being in one big paragraph. Adding more links to what a triad is related to. The more useful information, the better because it can help fellow viewers use my information to guide them in the right direction.

- Topics or sections added to page- Topics that I would like to add to my page are

1- The many articles that Simmel has written and how they have shaped the lives of society

2- How Simmel came up with what a triad is

3- The other Triads that are not sociological related

4- Going more in depth of what a triad and dyad are

5- Studies that have been conducted to create triads

6- Real world examples/ scenarios of triads and their interactions

7- Section with pictures that can relate to the article

- What is missing- This article is missing a majority of its historical background and how it became know as a triad. As well as how Simmel created the idea. It is also missing subsections which can add more definition to the articles history and background. Relating to what I want to add to my article in my previous bullet point, can further improve it tremendously with loads of useful information to my viewers. It is also missing pictures/ visuals that can relate to triad sociology and real world experiences. Not only can this justify what a triad is, but also it can help those who do not quite understand its concept.

- Linking up key ideas- this can help the article relate to other topics that have a similar background

1- Georg Simmel

2- inter-organizational triads

3- Jermaine Griggs- who creates the triad of musical notes

4- larger groups related to triads

5- social network censuses

WEEK-7 DRAFT

A triad can be viewed as a group of three people that can create different group interactions. This specific group is common and overlooked in society for many reasons. Those being that it is compared to the lives of others, how they shape society, and how communication plays a role in different relationships scenarios. George Simmel, a sociologist that discovered a triad and how it came to be today. It was derived in the late 1800s to early 1900s and evolved throughout time to shape group interactions in the present. Simmel also hypothesized between dyads and triads and how they may differ. A dyad is a group of two people that interact while a triad is another person added on to create more communicational interactions. For example: adding an extra person, therefore creating a triad, this can result in different language barriers, personal connection, and an overall impression of the third person. Simmel wanted to convey to his audience that a triad is not a basic group with positive interactions, but how these interactions can differ depending on person to person.

WEEK 8-

Georg Simmel on triads

-The Birth of Modernity and how it has shaped society- this article goes into depth on the idea and how this german sociologist creates the basis of a triad and what led him to his findings. It goes into discussing how places have taken triads shape. For example in World War two he categorized the war into three various sections- European nationalism, materialism and imperialism. These three fall under "mammonism"(provide a sub link) this is the support of americanism in world war two and its effects that resulted from the war.

-Exchange and cohesion in dyads and triads- this article conveys how cohesion has played a role in distinguishing between a dyad a triad. Three main factors that have led to these diverse groups is justified by 1) triads result in less behavioral changes when compared to triads, 2) Bonds that coincide more with triads than dyads, and 3)Emotion plays a bigger role when communicating between two people (dyad) versus a group with three people (triad). The last factor is mainly because communication and trust can be altered when mixing emotions between relationships. While in a group of three people it is less likely because the majority constantly communicate and come to an agreement as to what is best.
