The  Tipping  Point.

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference is the debut book by Malcolm Gladwell which first published by Little, Brown in 2000. Gladwell defines a tippin point as the moment of critical mass, the threshold, and the boiling point. The book seeks to explain and describe the "mysterious" sociological changes that mark everyday life. As Gladwell states ideas, products, messages and behaviors spread like viruses do.  The examples of such changes in his book include the rise in popularity and sales of Huss Puppies shoes in the mid-1990s and the steep drop in New York City's crime rate after 1990.

As Gladwell examples we show some tipping point in our country such as the crime rate, the corruption, bad health services on the hospitals and the bad service in the education.

In the Dominican Republic every single day we appreciate the bad services in the public institutions, especially in health service, where we observe that you cannot find any medicines for people, and these people are suggest to going to a private clinic where they receive a so expensive service that they can’t pay. In addition, the government can’t stop the stealing of money of the people that work in the institutions.

On the top of that, we are not so safe in the streets because the crime is increasing over and over everywhere in our country, the problem is that the government don’t say anything upon it, don’t put solutions to these problems that make a direct effect to the population.
