Tipping Case Study

Society is stocked full of various trends and epidemics. To many, the way in which these trends start is a mystery. As members of a society, we often subconsciously take part in these patterns without questioning our participation. Therefore, people continue to ignore the drastic changes in society, and the reasons why they occur so swiftly.

In The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell effectively discusses and analyzes how and why ideas spread throughout societies using the rhetorical appeals, ethos, pathos and logos.

In his New York Times article titled The Capitalist; The Case Against Tipping, Michel Lewis wonders whether tipping really serves any significant purpose. In his own words, "no lawful behavior in the marketplace is as disturbing to me as the growing appeals for gratuities." Lewis is convinced that people should not be rewarded for doing something they are paid to do in the first place.

Tips are generally a small amount of money given to a person as gratitude for a service that has been provided. There are many times throughout our everyday lives in which we are put in a position to leave a gratuity. Whether it be dining at a restaurant, getting your hair cut at the salon, or having a few drinks with friends at a bar.

Which of the tips will be the hardest for you? The hardest tip for me would have to be tip 6 which states, “Recognize that you will be overwhelmed. I chose this tip being my hardest because being overwhelmed is not a word in my family. I get told “ No it's overwhelming it is just the way you're going about your time management”, “ That I'm whining” , “ I have to work harder to do better”, or even “that's not an excuse”.

Knowing that I didn't achieve my expectations I feel like a failure because I see it as I let myself down when I know I have not reached what I have set up for myself. When it comes to family I know they

Malcolm Gladwell, tends to follow trends and he tries to discover why some things tend to tip and others don’t. His curiosity about some things “tipping” caught my attention, but I was confused by the way he started the introduction. He begins with a recent fashion trend that seemed to come from nowhere, the Hush Puppies. He tells us that Hush Puppies fell in popularity and once they started appearing in the New York City nightclubs, designers started selling them again. What I disliked was how he started with the shoes because to mean it seemed like it came from nowhere and it was slightly irrelevant. However, when I was putting down the book, I noticed the title of chapter one and it’s The Three Rules of Epidemics and now I think this example

The author various examples to elaborates as to how small actions at the right time, in the right and with the right people can create a tipping point for a product/service. For instance, Hush Puppies ‘tipped’ in 1993, when a few fashion-forward hipsters from Soho New York started wearing the failing brand again. A chain reaction was triggered through this small event, which cascaded though the US increasing sales and creating a word of mouth epidemic. Gladwell explains three point plan of how any brand
