Tipping Point: Chapter 1

I didn't have any idea what this book was going to be about, but after reading the Introduction and Chapter 1, I really am interested in the what the rest of the book is going to talk about.
Throughout the first assigned reading, Malcolm Gladwell, went on to speak about several epidemics happening in the world starting with Hush Puppies in Manhatten, New York, to Syphillis in Baltimore, Marlyland, and to the PCP epidemic in a small town in Limberg.
Epidemics spoken throughout the book started with Hush Puppies, and the murder rates in New York being outrageous, to one day, suddenly plumeting to where people finally felt safe sitting on their stoops again. Further along the epidemic of Syphilis began from a thought of Crack. After further research was done in a clinic where a map was set up and a star placed on each city in Maryland, there were trends that began to form. As winter then came, the research was still continued and a new trend formed. This new trend gave the researcher an idea that because of a harsh cold winter, could it really have kept people away from the downtown cities preventing them from buying Crack, and preventing them from catching Syphilis or spreading it.
Epidemics and Tipping Points are very well explained in the beginning to help you get a better understanding of what the voice in the book is trying to tell you. Gladwell left me wondering when I was done reading because he gave examples of the 3 Tipping Point Rules and put ideas in my head of what else they apply to that are to common you'd be surprised.
