Types of Reading

Most of the time I read health magazines or facebook pages compared to Gladwell's book. Some of the main differences are that with facebook pages they tend to use slang or abbreviations, were as Gladwell's writing is structured. In addition facebook page tend to focus on the individual on that page. Gladwell on the other had looked at many different people as groups and individuals. Health magazines tend to have small write ups/articles and also tend to focus on a specific topic or problem. Malcolm's book tended to look at many different topics and was a larger write up on them, then some article. Although both health articles and Gladwell do look at social epidemics such as outbreaks of diseases. In the end thought all readings are to get to some common goal or goals.
