Social Activism Malcolm Gladwell Analysis

Decent Essays

Gladwell can make you believe something, although it may not be true. On the bad side, his claims do have evidence to back what he says, but they are not valid. Why?

Another thing he does not consider is the never ending list of factors that could have contributed to the decline of activism. Gladwell simply blames social media for making activism less in quantity
