  14. Diffusions • Expansion- spreads outwards to new places but is still strong in hearth • Stimulus- diffuses from hearth but original idea is changed • Hierarchal- idea spreads from a place or person of power • Contagious- people near origin become adapters • Relocation- movement of the original adapters form their hearth to a new place • Migrant- innovation spreads and lasts only a brief time in the newly adopted place
