Malcolm Gladwell’s first book, The Tipping Point, analyzes why some trends achieve exponential popularity while others never seem to take off. There are numerous patterns and factors which we can identify that come into play in every single trend. The reason why New York City’s crime epidemic suddenly began to decline follows the same pattern which created one of the most successful children's shows in television history. Understanding the principles at work behind trends mean we can direct their course and work to create positive social trends.
