            Chapter one was a very interesting, and the content is quite surprising. Gladwell introduces us to the notion of the “Tipping Point”. On page 12 he describes this as “the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point.” In chapter one, The Rules of Epidemics he talks about how sexually transmitted diseases are spread, and how 20 percent of people do 80 percent of the work on spreading a disease. Another factor that may influence of any kind of epidemic rather it be a disease or a new fashion trend, moving the infected people will help to spread the item.
