Introduction and Chapter 1 of Tipping Point

The introduction was very eye opening, the introduction alone sparked my interests to get excited for this book. The introduction was packed full of informative detail which is all I need to continue reading with increased focus and intensity. The main point that sparked my attention was to make a change, someone must start a new trend. A little action called changing your behavior. Then after awhile this behavior will become contagious, and more and more people will become part of the movement of change. This will bring about so many new things just by a simple act of contagious change. This is why the Hush Puppies became popular, kids in New York City just started wearing them around and then by word of mouth and by staying true to wearing the shoes, the shoes became outragiously popular, taking the Country by storm, just because kids decided to wear something different. This theory also related to the crime decrease in New York, because people decided to stop all the violence and illegal acts, the streets became safe again and the people enjoyed the new looking streets and neighborhoods and the feeling became contagious and those New York streets became safe and normal again. This book provided a powerful introduction that has me excited to keep on reading.
