Michelle, Brenda, and Julie are all friends. However, Brenda and Julie are not as close to each other as they are to Michelle. Despite this, why do Brenda and Julie stay friends? The concept of triadic closure suggests that

Since there are no options, I'll answer the question according to my understanding.

The concept of triadic closure suggests that if a strong tie would exist between Michelle and Brenda, as well as Michelle and J.ulie, then a strong tie would also exist between Brenda and J.ulie.

Explanation:

The "triadic closure" is a theory that was proposed by Georg Simmel regarding "social networking." This shows the relationships among people and how their relationships evolve over time.

In the situation above, Michelle brings Brenda and J.ulie together which means Michelle is acting as the local bridge. So, this is the reason why Brenda and J.ulie stay friends. This concept is true, provided that both Brenda and J.ulie desire to be friends with each other. If not, then they are not satisfying the triadic closure property.
