Strength of Weak Ties

The "Strength of Weak Ties" is a sociological concept suggesting that acquaintances or distant connections often provide more new information and opportunities than close friends. While strong ties (like family or close friends) offer support and trust, weak ties (less frequent or superficial contacts) connect us to different social circles, giving access to diverse resources, job leads, or ideas. These weaker connections act as bridges across different groups, helping individuals tap into opportunities they might not encounter within their immediate circle, thereby playing a crucial role in social and professional mobility.
