Six degrees of separation hypothesis


Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five people in between. This means you are no more than five people away from a popular celebrity, a local drug addict, the promiscuous person with a reputation in your school or someone else's, the person suffering with AIDS, and so on.

Knowing that you are so very close in association to the homeless man or drug addict, does this information make you think before you judge others not like yourself? Why or why not?

Since there are only six degrees of separation between a Bill Gates and yourself according to this hypothesis, what is so different about you and Mr. Gates?

Since there are only six degrees of separation between a local man that homeless and yourself according to this hypothesis, what is so different about you and the homeless?

Why in your opinion do you feel that people have such freedom to judge others as if perfect themselves?
