âº literature The turning point in a work of literature is the moment or section when the action begins to move toward the climax (= the most important or exciting part). (Definition of âturning pointâ from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press)
Gladwell defines a tipping point as the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point. The book seeks to explain and describe the mysterious sociological changes that mark everyday life. As Gladwell states, Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do. The examples of such changes in his book include the rise in popularity and sales of Hush Puppies shoes in the mid-1990s and the steep drop in New York City 's crime rate after 1990.
