When we think of those with high IQ scores, we often equate them to being successful humans. In other words, the higher the IQ, the more successful the person. Malcolm Gladwell and I disagree. Gladwell believes that “the relationship between success and IQ works only up to a point. Once someone has reached an IQ of somewhere around 120, having additional IQ points doesn’t seem to translate into any measurable real-world advantage.” Gladwell supports this claim by referencing the studies of Terman

When something big happens unexpectedly, people respond in different ways. Anything small can impact something big. In the book, The Tipping Point, small expected and unexpected events lead to significant changes. This book by Malcolm Gladwell contains numerous examples of how little things can make big differences. Significant changes can occur from the slightest of impacts; these impacts can be caused intentionally, can be caused unintentionally, and, in the end, can cause epidemics. Minor, unintentional

Malcolm did not condone outright violence for he wanted his people to always be prepared for it and if there is a just cause then it shall be deemed justifiable.

Arguing Ethically and Thinking Logically “Hidden advantage and extraordinary opportunities and cultural legacies” (Gladwell, 2011, p.19). This is one way that Gladwell introduces us to the idea of the “Mathew Effect.” He argues that being among the best at something, is not a result of innate talent but rather it is having the good fortune of being in a skill-learning environment at the right time and in the right place. In some cases, the conducive environment is simply being the right age with

Gladwell proclaims that most scenarios are spreading due to the routes of their programmes and transportation that are very similar to each other and in most of the situations, whether the spread in Baltimore’s mean streets or the sudden spike of Hush puppies sales.

Malcolm Gladwell established multiple individuals who took important responsible risks and were given opportunities that lead to their success in life. Two individuals that stood out were Joe Flom and Louis Borgenicht. They came with nothing and worked their way to the top of success.
