A Point Break refers to the geomorphic topography that gives rise to a special wave which wraps around a point or headland to then ride far along the coastline. When conditions are met, most surfers would consider it the "perfect wave".
It is also a key process in coastal geomorphology, shaping the landscape and modifying the shoreline. Wave action is considered a key driver of coastal change and landscape evolution.
A similar concept in sociology, refers to the collective behavior which eventually unleashes a complete topple.
Let's think about having two alternatives to take action upon; it is natural to evaluate benefit over cost, however both could vary based on how many individuals have already opted for one or the other. According to Morton Grodzins, there is a particular point where net benefits exceed net costs referred to as "that one too many".
Making echo on Mark Granovetter analysis of social networks, our theme this year focuses on "social change" attained by civil engagement. We pay important attention to the diffusion of information, influence, opportunity and how these could lead to the emergence of self-organized driven groups to promote positive change in our local and global community.
