Lights, the people at the table toasted the north wind's scattered haze. Now the rapid development of a variety of technologies, such as communication technology, so that people's common sense of the unprecedented strong. However, because of the development of technology, different people are becoming more and more different.
A group of entrepreneurs have just sat down at the table, the restaurant is one of the entrepreneurs of the industry, after an afternoon of intense brainstorming, all the people waste heat, delicious food is both a reward for enthusiasm, and seems dispensable. Just beside the table, a few middle-aged men and women also in the praise of food mixed with a lot of work to explore, not long ago, they met at a 20-year high school graduation party, unexpectedly, when the small partners who climbed the wall again came to the financial industry that needs to be constantly going over, they are excited to exchange business information, feel warm and safe.
At the front desk of the restaurant, a young man is selling packages, he wanted enough to eat more than seven or eight people, he is in the evening 10 o'clock to enter the work of the programmer, today is his turn for this group of colleagues to call takeout, this is almost everyone claiming to be cock Silk Group, every day in addition to deal with the mysterious symbol, They like to think about how the white-rich in the streets are Gaofu by a rare show of beauty. They are, of course, the easiest industry to achieve.
A thing called circle, let so close people so different.
You don't have to circle it, you're the one that's holding you
This is the thing that determines why we sit together, what we have in the world to be concerned about, and what we have in common or different opinions about them.
Although people from the evolution of the tree to live a gregarious life, but also to develop countless organizational forms, in the form of culture, but no one would think that the nation, the country, the political party, the family is the circle. In a political party, the party members may belong to different circles, and a certain circle, such as enthusiasts, may cross the national boundaries.
But it cannot be said that the circle is not as strict as the political or economic organization, many people do not dare to try to challenge the authority of the circle, even more actively to observe and publicize the circle of values and norms, we should be very clear square dance ring combat.
Now, people choose a circle, mainly to increase identity and access to security information two needs.
For the eternal questioning of who I am, this seems to be seeking an essential answer, but in fact, people still want to give themselves more labels and identities in order to gain intrinsic identity, which is the so-called role theory: everyone will have a stack of identities, or we know, Man is the sum of social relations.
Of course, these identities include fathers, husbands, and brothers, not all of the circle, but the circle is really helping people to get self-identity. Sometimes, by way of reinforcement, for example, the entrepreneurial mountaineering circle, operating and mountaineering, are representing the lonely forward; sometimes, it is through hedging, such as the entrepreneur studying Buddha circle, they gain the indifferent and fixed power in the utilitarian choice, or at least it seems to be indifferent and definite.
Access to security information is also easy to understand, after all, we are in the business era is the constant pursuit of credible, valuable information, but within the circle, because the participants of the common educational background (alumni), the background (peer), geo-relations (fellow), we first in each other and constraints, and secondly easier to identify each other's meaning, Everyone is less wary, and transaction costs are naturally reduced (and, of course, the cost of exposure to the opposite sex is greatly reduced).
However, identity and information can have a value, therefore, the circle also divided the measured, mixed circle, like a ring game, some circles are at their fingertips, but not so tempting, and valuable circles, even if the efforts may not be able to mix; Like inexplicably being the middle class.
Identity and information demand, often in the circle of one, this is why many circles even touch high tiptoe, it is difficult to mix, notice, Gao climbers and cock silk climbers is difficult to Mount Everest together.
The circle is a profession.
Because of the strong identity of the circle, infiltrate the circle, open a door at the same time, also closed a door. So, to join the circle, or to integrate into society, or to be isolated from the world, or both.
The situation is often the latter, because the hands can be thrown out of the circle, only so many, in addition to the villagers, expertise and other congenital or historical factors, mainly to have the time and energy, which can be scarce resources.
It seems that the rise of the circle is inseparable from the richness and freedom, the Internet in the same time, in the online world, the old students are easy to find, old colleagues are difficult to lose.
Old classmates or old colleagues, although all let people nostalgia, but mixed in such a circle, in addition to mark this identity, what other attempts?
One of the first circles to emerge among politicians and businessmen is, of course, an identity symbol. But there is no doubt that this is also a kind of sub-power system, everyone knows, completely rely on black and white in order to coordinate the major human behavior is not very reliable, the key moment to rely on people, party organizations in the establishment of the position whip this post, in fact, is the official recognition of this recessive circle
Later, the members of the circle became more complex, and the circle showed new features, that's the exchange and redemption of different resources, but it can't be done by the big guys themselves, so there are different roles in the same circle, and that's why the job of a mixed circle doesn't sound like a good name.
Mixed Circle is also a career. Before, there are few circles, there is no mix, the Internet not only increased the circle, but also to infiltrate a circle, testing the value of a circle to become simpler. Of course, it is not easy to say that the internet has given birth to China's circle era, because whether it is the circle or the Internet, in the final analysis, economic and social development results. Modern people are happy at this point, because they can easily become a variety of persons, meet all kinds of people, increase the boundaries of their lives, but also bring more unexpected happiness.
The more people's resources and consciousness, the more rings in the hand, the "Wan Yuan" this huge social and historical label exists for so long, but there is little tangible results, and China's "rich second-generation" organization is becoming a social force can not be ignored.
And the circle continues to change, people join the circle is not only to obtain identity, information, such as simple request and exchange behavior, but also in order to achieve a certain goal, because the human consciousness will also increase with the development of economic and social, and then, any organization as long as the existence of time, even if it is inexplicably established, There are also legitimate organizational goals, not to mention that in the age of the circle, many circles have set goals in the era of seed membership. Many circles have evolved into a tightly structured and cohesive social organization with their own values and codes of conduct, and at this point, there is no need to be so pessimistic about the social development of China, as social developments do not necessarily imply the form of a strong clash of interests between groups and benefits.
Although the circle is in the minds of many people because of the historical origin, it is a kind of conspiracy theory and boring words, but from the function and trend of the circle, the circle is the basis of China's social development. Circle has not only eat and drink, speed dating about cannon tools, in addition, eat, drink, speed dating about cannon, is not the most social breath of human needs?
From corruption to height
With the advent of the internet and circles, the Internet has not only made it easier for people to find a circle, but it has also been easier to form and maintain a circle, and the Internet tools have greatly improved the efficiency of the communication organization of a group dinner or a single date, in terms of corruption and speed dating.
Internet discourse will be referred to above preferences as "corruption", the circle is more rotten more vitality, no way, people on this point, how many circles the most flash of the moment, are also at the dinner table occurred.
But it has to be said that in China's entertainment venues are occupied by the circle, or even forced a special form of group entertainment market, or a lot of tall content also in the bud in the circle.
The entertainment and social function of the circle is gradually transformed from the first goal to the subordinate factor, or to a necessary condition: eat and drink is not everyone mixed circle of the first purport, but no beer and skittles, a circle will not be long.
In parallel with corrupt entertainment, there are various types of sharing activities, such as reading or viewing sessions, lectures on industry knowledge and case studies (such as corporate finance), crafts and skills experience (such as tea ceremony). In addition to sharing, the circle will also carry out a number of substantive actions, a number of public and share the goal of action, such as environmental hiking or to the nursing home, migrant children's primary school visits.
The values of an entrepreneurial circle are well covered by the trend: everyone is educated and everyone is served.
From the perspective of theory of evolution and game theory, the individuals in the group are kind to each other, which is one of the most comprehensive benefits of the organization, but this can not avoid the black sheep, and once the black sheep appear, it will let the good people gradually disappear, the group destroyed. What to do, the social biologist Dawkins that the most efficient is the evil behavior model, that is, adhere to the kindness, but once met the black sheep, ruthless retaliation.
In other words, the environment of mutual kindness, people need, this is a kind of family atmosphere generalization, is the oneworld ideal. However, to do good, good people also need security, that is, we have to have a consensus on the group of Black Sheep to oppose together.
Circles, especially internet-based circles, so that people can do some of these social experiments, because we do not need to transfer the original power relationship, no need to refer to the traditional forms of social organization, because all traditional social organizations are based on information asymmetry and resource inequality, Internet organization form, Will gradually bridge these differences.
Traditionally, circles can only be said to be a less-than-bad form of social organization, and now, why not be a good organization from the start? Don't think that this is utopia, Silicon Valley as a circle, has not been a huge success?
