Question

Background: As you recall, Outliers explores the roles of opportunity and legacy in the story of success. Much of the book also dissects and debunks commonly-held views of success. Even though some of Gladwell’s assertions are debatable, the claim below is clearly primitive and incomplete.



Your task: Respond to the claim below by describing what is missing/incorrect in the person’s claim and offering a more accurate explanation using Gladwell’s theories. For your response, interpret and show how two specific, text-based ideas (theories, examples, experiments, historic references, etc.) support a more accurate understanding of the issue. Notice that you have a choice of which claim you chose to respond to. Please indicate which option you have selected at the beginning of your response.
