The Tipping Point

"The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference" by Malcolm Gladwell, is an article about how little things can make a big difference. His article was very interesting and made me think a lot about how things actually happen and what causes them. He states that people wore hush puppies because kids wore them around time. This is pretty obvious to me because products would not get popular if people did not start using them. I agree that smokers underestimate the impacts of smoking. There a lot of adds saying it's bad for you, but not a lot on why. I think if people were told more what happens to you then more people would stop. This add could also be a little thing that makes a big difference. While reading this I thought about MTV and how they have several adds that promote healthy lifestyles and thinking above the influence but all their shows consist of drinking, drugs, and sex. I think this is very ironic. Things like this make a very big impact on our youth even though they are just as small as a tv show.
