In the second chunk of Malcolm Gladwell's, Outliers, the purpose remains the same as in the first chunk and focuses on how great people can not become great on their own. This section of the book focuses on the three very important rules of how to live in a world in which almost no one may succeed if they do not look or act a certain way. The Jewish,for example, can not find it easy to become great people in this world because of how they appear at first sight no matter how good they are at what they do. There is also a problem for people who can not succeed and yet thier offspring do. People must, as previously pointed out in Chunk #1, be born at the right time. the right place and into the right backfround aside from working hard. Another point which was that culture has a big effect on how people begin to see the way that people should continue in life. It all depends on how people grow up how people depend on others to live on. people have to be confident about how they go about living, if not then they will be left out of the world. the last point of this Chunk was that the way people act and how they express themselves has a very large impact on how they survive in the world or in the air.
Does Gladwell explain the points in this chunk as well as he did in the previous?
How can people of today learn to control their abilities in order to benefit others as well?

Chunk # 1 and Chunk # 2 have the same purpose. The difference is that in chunk # 2 Malcom Gladwell gives different examples.
ReplyDeleteIn the second chunk of the book, Gladwell uses different examples to support his opinion on outliers, but he does touch up on some evidence he used in the previous chunk. He explained his point just as well in the second chunk.
ReplyDeletePeople today could control their abilities by not keeping them for their own success. People with special skills should use them to help people around the world. For example, people who are not affected by the recession even though they are not in the upper class should share how they are overcoming the effects of the economic collapse.
