Social complexity theory is applied in studies of social cooperation and public goods;[20] altruism;[21] voting behavior;[22][23] education;[24] global civil society [25] The Development of Social Network Analysis: A Study in the Sociology of Science.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8359.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8359.txt
