He is saying that things spread and become viral from little things or one person. I agree with Gladwell's message that small acts can make a big difference and lead to things spreading quickly. ]]> 2018-09-14 18:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281460691 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281465017 Gladwell wrote about how Paul Revere rode his horse to spread the information that the British were coming, and it spread like wildfire because he was a person who had connections and he was high up in society. Paul Revere was a known figure in society because he took part in the Sons of Liberty and he was also part of the Boston Tea Party. This shows that people who have connections in society can prompt things into becoming an epidemic, or help things spread. ]]> 2018-09-14 18:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281465017 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281471089 Things can definitely spread quickly because of one person. If someone is starting a business and it is new and upcoming it helps to be educated. People who are educated and put in the work for their business help it excel. For instance the company Air walk sold shoes, and they really grew. They knew in order to sell their shoes they had to create ads and they targeted young buyers. Additionally, the Air Walk company had paid famous people to wear their shoes while he or she would preform. ]]> 2018-09-14 18:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281471089 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281564139 Gladwell also wrote about the crime rates drastically dropping in a very short time. This was because police began to take small crimes more seriously, so people stopped committing them. For example, people could just walk through or jump over a train entrance, but police started monitoring these people and punishing them for it, so they stopped doing it. The police became more aggressive, which caused crime rates to drop drastically.]]> 2018-09-15 00:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281564139 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281564616 the-tipping-point This article helps to support how the police officers becoming more aggressive caused crimes rates to drastically drop. ]]> 2018-09-15 00:34:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281564616 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281565346 This video supports Gladwell's idea that small thing or action can spread quickly]]> 2018-09-15 00:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281565346 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566353 2018-09-15 00:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566353 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566354 2018-09-15 00:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566354 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566358 2018-09-15 00:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566358 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566456 2018-09-15 00:58:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566456 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281566895 This image is of Miley Cyrus holding a pair of blue Converse sneakers.

This goes along with how Paul Revere was so quickly able to spread the information from Lexington to Concord. ]]> 2018-09-15 01:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281567633 ldurham20 https://padlet.com/ldurham20/vdjss4qd1gdh/wish/281567915 "Persuasion often works in ways we do not appreciate."
