Outliers Part 7

In chapter 7 of outliers Gladwell talks about plane crashes in the 1990s in Korea. He says that there are far to many crashes that statistically should happen. Also since Korea was having way to many crashes new(prenominal) countries started to say that they were not going to let Korea fly over them or use their airports if they did not period of play themselves around. With this threat Korea began to investigate the reasons for the plane crashes.They first tried to us common sense by truism it was the condition of the plane, the pilots were not trained properly and so on, but what they found out was that everything was up to code. So then they had to investigate deeper and look at other things and what they found out was it was the culture. The plane crashes were happening because Korea had a utmost power index, this meant that no matter what the pilot said everyone would agree with him and not question him.So int the dying common sense doesnt al slipway give you the answer you sometime have to look more(prenominal) deeply into the situation. Also its sometimes good to question authority. Its not always good to have a high power index and then again its not always good to have a confused power index. One occasion that it is good to have a low power index is in a hospital. This is good because even though doctors have much more experience curbs are decent out of school so that means that they would know more about new technology and newer ways of doing different operations.Doctors may also be used to doing an operation one way but the nurse who is just out of school may now of some newer way of doing the same operation that has been proven to work better. Also since the nurses are with the patients more they may now something the doctor doesnt know that may be active the operation. Its also sometimes good to have a high power index, it would be more salutary to have a high power index in a family because the kids should respect their elders. The pare nts and grandparents know more than the kids do and the kids can always learn something from older people.
