Hierarchical Diffusion Hierarchical diffusion can help explain how ideas/innovations diffuse from larger to smaller nodes and vice versa. Some examples of hierarchical diffusion are:
Fashion trends
Music genres, such as rap, hip hop, etc.
Types of dance Hierarchical diffusion is encouraged by modern communication tools, such as computers and messaging systems. Contagious Diffusion is the rapid, widespread diffusion of a characteristic throughout the population. Contagious Diffusion Contagious Diffusion can help explain the spread of a contagious disease; it does not require the permanent relocation of people.
