Mind Mapping The Tipping Point

For this we had to read a book called 'The Tipping Point' by Malcolm Gladwell, it tell of how ideas, trends and social behaviours can tip and spread in our everyday lives.

The purpose was to then go on and create a mind map of the entire book, picking out the most relevant aspects of the book and how they worked together. The mind map of this had to include the main chapters and their main points and topics, such as syphilis, connectors, mavens, suicide etc, to show we understood what the book was about and also to help us to see just how affective the book was. to create the mind map we read a few of the chapter of 'The Mind Map Book' by Tony and Barry Buzan, and this told us how we should think and plan our mind map and how we should tackle it. For the second part of this we had to then choose a chapter of the book and go into the details and more points that were included within that chapter.

On the whole I did find this difficult as I have never done a mind map like this as the maps I normally do are spider webs. However I did find that this technique was more useful as it allows me to go into a bit more detail.
