Blog post 2: Synthesis

            I think that when it comes to having advantages I think that some people have advantages and some people don’t. I think in the cases that people do have advantages that it is because they practice because they are trying achieve a goal or because they love the sport or activity that they are involved in. But in some cases it could also be just plain and simple that they were born with the talent or that it is in their genes to be good at the sport or activity. But I think some people do have disadvantages because some people are not able to just be good at a sport or activity. They have to work 10 times as hard just to be a fraction of how good the other people are. I don’t think that the people who are better or have more of an idea or perspective should be downgraded, I just don’t think that they should be given special treatment for the way that they are. And in some cases people are given more opportunities at one time because they rise above others without receiving a full evaluation. I think that Gladwell’s opinion would be more or less the same. I just think that he would say that there would be more of an explanation to why people are able to achieve the goals that they are able to exceed.
