![](/common/images/spacer.gif) How do people come to have shared values based on ideas, beliefs, likes and dislikes, or attitudes? One possible mechanism for the spreading of values through population is through a sort of contagious prcess, orccurring as individuals come into contact with one another and interact. This interaction results in a form of imitative behavior sometimes referred to as cultural transmission or social learning. In this and the next column [in MER 8:1] we will look at several models of the change of values in mobile society.
