Malcolm Gladwell
Every cop will tell you that their real job is being a social worker. That's what they do all day. The large majority of police officers in this country never even draw their gun, let alone fire it. They do conflict resolution, right? And if that's their job, why do they need to look like they're an occupying force?
Malcolm Gladwell
People don't rise from nothing.
Malcolm Gladwell
If you don't contradict yourself on a regular basis, then you're not thinking.
Malcolm Gladwell
So long as the stereotype is used as a way of understanding how to fix the problem as opposed to demonizing a people or writing them off, then I think it's OK.
Malcolm Gladwell
Occasions when you can change your mind should be cherished, because they mean you're smarter than you were before.
