GT Homework

I am genuinely sorry that this is so late. I've been over my head in midterm projects lately and the only homework I've been able to complete on time is work that I could finish in homeroom. However, my normal study habits are coming back now that most of my midterm projects are finally complete.

Outliers 1-18-11 Homework:

Chapter 7 in Outliers was all about Gladwell's theory on how and why plane crashes occur more often in planes coming from certain countries compared to others. He talks about how communication was key to preventing plane crashes and how in countries such as South Korea, because of the great distance in power from a captain to his co-pilots, the captain never truly receives an accurate second opinion from his co-pilots because they are afraid of challenging them. Gladwell states that one mechanical error followed by six human errors usually cause a plane crash. He main emphasis during this chapter was that communication is key to success.

What I took away from chapter 7 was that you need to be able to communicate to be successful. Pilots need to be able to communicate so that they can safely complete a flight and I for example, need to have good communication and practical intelligence to be able to get my points across.
