The butterfly effect emphasises the momentous & tremendous impact only a small change, decision, act has on the whole dot especially, aspects of the globalisation are influenced due to its global interconnection. Everything is interdependent and connected, and is therefore likely to be part of chain reaction. A small butterfly effect is flapping it's little wings. He is whips up some air which caused a change in direction of a tiny wind. At the end this tiny action caused a big blizzard.
