They were part of a study on separated twins. It was to see in nature versus nurture which one has more of an impact. (31-32) Identical twins were easiest to study because of their identical DNA. Scientists working on the study placed both girls in a family in which are very similar; therefore, they both have a brother that is a couple years older than them.

In Chapter 7 of The Outlier as well as Malcolm Gladwell’s discussion of Why Do Planes Crash? Gladwell discusses his precise thesis on uses of “mitigated’ speech within different cultures and how it determined success. Gladwell also explains in depth how why ‘“mitigated’ language was the reason for the plane crash. Many cultures, such as China, used ‘mitigated’ language as a form of authority; yet, in a culture like the United States, an individual will not have much success as issues can be overlooked. Overall, Gladwell's thesis explained why people, such a Bill Gates, are successful. Therefore, Gladwell's assertion of mitigation on work, culture, and communication is accurate in determining if a person is successful or not.An example that

Faneuil Hall served as a market place and a meeting hall during the mid seventeen hundreds and is still in use now as a public meeting place for the people of boston. It all started when a wealthy Bostonian Merchant named Peter Faneuil came up with the idea of building a marketplace in Boston. After much debate, Boston accepted Faneuil’s proposal. Once it was built, the town government also used the marketplace as a meeting space. The lower lever of the hall was divided into “stalls” which were exclusively for market purposes. In the market, meat, vegetable, and dairy products were sold. On the second floor,

St. Peter Claver was a humble looking church, without the towering spires or detailed architecture that some churches possess in order to fill you with worshipful awe. In fact, it would have been almost unrecognizable as a church if it were not for the relatively small silver cross that hung above the door, not even raised above the line of the roof. Walking into the church did not change the sense of humility that the outside professed. Dark wood lined the walls and floor, and made up the pews. It felt almost like stepping into a cabin that had been built in the 1970’s. Along the walls there were small portrait sized depictions of the fourteen stations of the cross. Unlike St. Agnes’s eye catching and baroque decorations, St. Peter Claver’s artwork almost blended into the background, and was not immediately visible. It appeared that the artwork mirrored the nature of the building itself, almost as if the church wanted to dispense with frivolity and maintain its focus on the practice of its faith.
