The Role of Proximity

Physical and social proximity plays a significant role in tipping points.

People are more likely to adopt behavior and ideas from those who are physically or socially close to them.

The book uses the example of the spread of syphilis in Baltimore to illustrate this.

The disease spread rapidly among closely-knit communities where physical proximity and social ties facilitated the transmission of the disease, highlighting how proximity can lead to tipping points in public health.
