  • ...
  • It can often generate Social Phenomenon State Consequences through social phenomenon state ripple effects and social phenomenon state unintended outcomes.
  • It can often resist Social Phenomenon State Interventions via social phenomenon state inertia forces and social phenomenon state path dependencies.
  • It can often spread through Social Phenomenon State Contagion using social phenomenon state social networks and social phenomenon state media amplification.
  • It can often interact with Social Phenomenon State Other States via social phenomenon state co-occurrence and social phenomenon state mutual reinforcement.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Micro Social Phenomenon State to being a Macro Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state scale level.
  • It can range from being a Temporary Social Phenomenon State to being a Persistent Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state duration period.
  • It can range from being a Local Social Phenomenon State to being a Global Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state geographic spread.
  • It can range from being a Stable Social Phenomenon State to being a Volatile Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state change rate.
  • It can range from being a Visible Social Phenomenon State to being a Latent Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state observability degree.
  • It can range from being a Simple Social Phenomenon State to being a Complex Social Phenomenon State, depending on its social phenomenon state component interaction.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Social Institutions for social phenomenon state structural embedding.
  • It can connect to Cultural Systems through social phenomenon state value alignment.

    • Social Media Trend State featuring social phenomenon state viral content and social phenomenon state collective attention.
    • Moral Panic State demonstrating social phenomenon state collective anxiety and social phenomenon state threat perceptions.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Individual Psychological State, which affects persons rather than social phenomenon state collectives.
  • Natural Phenomenon, which occurs without social phenomenon state human interaction.
  • Technical System State, which involves machines rather than social phenomenon state social dynamics.
  • Biological Process, which follows nature rather than social phenomenon state social patterns.
  • Random Event, which lacks social phenomenon state systematic pattern.
