This is the second video we watched. It is part 2 of a 2008 interview between Malcolm Gladwell and Charlie Rose. This continues the interview in the previous post. See the first for discussion topics to consider if you are watching this on your own. In this section, he discusses the value of “meaningful work” and compares the nature of the work of Jewish immigrants in the garment industries to Mexican immigrant workers doing work on the land. We discussed the meaning of this section in depth in class. Also, consider what he means by many lives being “experience rich” and “theory poor” and the role he’s taken on in society as a “public person.”
