Gladwell, Malcolm. Composing Knowledge Readings For College Writers, "The Talent Myth: Are Smart People Overrated." Ed. Rolf Norgaard. Bedford/ St. Martin's.2007. Print. (409)
I chose this source because Malcolm Gladwell writes so passionately. Gladwell's views on success bring forth an edgy perspective about suppossed smart people by proving they aren't always as efficient for a work place as their transcript states. He looks at the collapse of Enron to make his point more visible; before Enron collapsed they would hire new employees based on their "success in school" otherwise known as transcript documentation.
I feel I can do a cool comparison between Enron and my high school to show that the failure of employees and students stems from the original efficiency of companies and schools.
I think this article is interesting because I could take it and place the responsibilty in the hands of students like Enron did with their employees. Though, in reality Enron was responsible for it's own failure, and placing blame on the employees hired by Enron would be similar to placing blame on students instead of looking at the provided curriculum; failure begins with source one.
