Malcolm Gladwell rethinks and corrects the regular perspective of things to come to a rea understanding. Gladwell teaches that, even though we think might understand something, there is almost always something more to it. He also helps us to realize the things that are right in front of us that we fail to appreciate, like he talks about in his Spaghetti Sauce Talk. In Gladwell's David and Goliath story, Gladwell admits to having understood the story falsely. Through much thought, Gladwell realizes his understanding of this is all wrong, and he works to truly understand. This is one of the great artistic qualities of Malcolm Gladwell. Instead of simply accepting a statement, Gladwell views all dimensions of a subject to find and prove a statement for himself. He also attempts to help us do this by telling stories like the Norden Bombsight story, where Gladwell talks about an invention gone wrong. If we were all to rethink everything we thought we understood the way Gladwell does, we would discover alot more about the subject and teach ourselves new things. This is what Malcolm Gladwell is really trying to teach people through these talks. To not accept but to create for yourself an understanding that makes sense to you.
