Reflective Writing- Chapter 2 of The Tipping Point

   Malcolm talks in chapter 2 about three kinds of people.  The connector, the maven, and the salesman.  I know that I have had run ins, and have expierenced meeting all three characteristics of these people.  Malcolm gives specific examples of all three of these kinds of people.  The connector is vital to society as sociologist Mark Granvetter found that 56% of people found their jobs simply by knowing someone within a specific work force.  I believe this to be very important.  An intresting arguement I found is that very few people knew about Dawes being with Revere that night when he rode seventeen miles and no one remembered him.  Social confrontations are important for reasons such as jobs, friendships, and all other relationships.
