An outlier is somebody that is distant from the rest. A person that you may classify as unique from those who may be standard or parallel to everyone else. You may not see it however, surrounding us we are permeated with outliers. Kendall Jenner is an outlier of our time because she had work ethic, family, and opportunity. To be successful you need work ethic. You have to get things accomplished and become the person you want to be, all through hard work and effort. Kendall Jenner demonstrates
“It” It’s the elephant in the room, the emperor’s new clothes, and the secret in the closet. As a society, we prefer the “tasteless” things remain unspoken. The word “homosexual” is never uttered in Rope by Alfred Hitchcock, but the silent battle between society and the outliers is delivered through the murder of manhood and the ultimate triumph of the police. David is the representative of straight manhood and society’s expectations, in killing him, Brandon and Phillip hold the upper hand until
The Outlier: Isaac Newton Isaac Newton is an outlier; he was unusually successful, but not in the way the average person thinks. Most people think that success is measured by wealth, but Isaac Newton wasn’t rich. He is an outlier because of everything he did for our understanding of science, math, and the world. He unlocked the mystery of the rainbow that no one has been able to solve for years! He developed the concept of gravity, and thanks to that, people know why they stay on the ground
Malcolm Gladwell wrote the book titled Outliers to show the world how unique people got their start and all of the factors and obstacles it takes to succeed in life. Every chapter of this book contains a different success story. At the beginning of each new section, Malcolm describes where each story is taking place and who will be involved. An example of this unique imagery includes the start of the chapter titled, “The Ethnic Theory of Plane Crashes,” when Malcolm Gladwell described the setting
When you think of your ideal dream, it is more often than not, positive. It is something that you would reluctantly wake up at six in the morning from with the blaring alarm ringing in your ears in which you would attempt to force yourself back to sleep to catch the last moments of your imagined state of mind, in which everything is ideally perfect. It is the unpleasant nightmare that sends you flailing under your covers that sends you into the imaginative state of mind in which everything occurs
With a world full of discord and anxiety, it's no surprise that the future captivates our frazzled society. Many are convinced that the future is already determined, that one does not have say in their future. While others believe in free will of actions that sculpt their future through choices. One fate is decided by family, environment, social status, self control, love, influence from others, and tendencies of their soul.

one’s success, they talk about grit, hard work, and a great underdog story. Sure, these factors play a part in one’s success. But, the reality is that there are many people with almost the same exact talent. As stated by Malcolm Gladwell, cultural outliers are the things that truly determine one’s success. External factors are worth examining because in most cases, success is based off advantages you were given from the start. In Jeremy lin’s case, his cultural influence, the ability to practice 10
Gladwell most convincingly answers this question in his nonfiction story, “The Outliers” through forging his concrete argument through many different sources of credible evidence. On the other hand, in Epstein’s nonfiction text, “The Sport’s Gene”, taking the opposing side, he answers the question in a less efficient way than Gladwell making his argument on the unit’s essential question less convincing. In “The Outliers”, Gladwell’s claim is that one can control the ultimate outcome of what happens

social networking site Tumblr, is an individual who embodies Gladwell’s phenomenon by having extended advantages that were rare among his peers and having a supportive, relatable lineage that not only lead him to success, but also makes him an Outlier. In Outliers, Gladwell discusses a theory named “The 10,000-Hour Rule” that proposes the 10,000 hours is the specific amount it time it takes for someone to become a master at a skill. The quote “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s
