Unit 4   The Tipping Point

     Gladwell defines the tipping point as the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point. The book seeks to explain and describe the mysterious sociological changes that mark everyday life. Gladweel describes three rules of epidemics as follow: The law of the few, The tickiness factor, and the power of context. The law of the few, is as Gladweel states: the succes of any kind of social epidemic is heavily dependent on the environmen of people with a particular  and rare set of social gifts. In the law of the few three kind of people are mentioned.
    They are: Connectors, mavens, salesmen. Connectors are the people in a comunity who know numbers of people and who are in the habit of making introductions. They usually know people across any array of social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, and make a habit introducing people who work or live in different circles. Also mavens who are informations specialists, or people we rely on to connect us with new information.
    On the other hand, salesmen are persuaders, charismatic people with powerful negotiation skills. And the two final rules are as mention before, The Tickiness   Factor and the Power of the Context.  The tickiness factor refers to the specific content of a message that enters its impact  memorable, and finally the power of the context which states that human behavior is sensitive to strongly influenced by its environment.

 Grammar: Count and Noncount Nouns

       Count and noncount nouns vary from language to language. In Some languages, there are no count nouns. In addition, some nouns that are noncount in English may be countable in other languages. Count nouns can be separated into individual units and counted. They usually have both singular and a plural form. Most English nouns are count nouns. Ex. one phone, two phones. However, a few countable nouns only have a plural form in English. Ex. clothes, pants, jeans, shorts. Count nouns are usually made plural by adding an "-s oran -es"  Ex. one boy, two boys;  one box, two boxes. If the noun ends in "-y" changes the "y" to "-ies" to make it plural. Ex. family, families. However, if a vowel proceeds the "y" add just an "-s".

      On the other hand noncount nouns exist as masses or abstract quantities that cannot be counted. they have no plural form such as air, ice, water, milk, fever, and so on.
