Reflective: Chapter 2

This chapter is talkig about "The Law of the Few"another information by Gladwell, which refers to how people in society connect with each other in differently ways. Gladwell stated the tip of fail and success. "Sucess of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the involvement of people with a particular and are set of social gifts",said Gladwell(pg33). Gladwell mentioned three ideas of the law: Connector, Mavean and Salesmen.

I found the most interesting arugment that Gladwell pointed out is the social connection of making friends and finding jobs. Connections in society is really important in communication and business. I determined a good experiement of one sociologist,Milgram. According to the Milgram's experiment, he found 56% of people currently find job through personal connections. For example, Gladwell stated, "People weren't getting their jobs through their friends, there were getting them through their acquaintances.(pg54)"
