3. What is the key point Gladwell makes in the paragraph beginning, “Some of this
grandiosity is to be expected” (para. 9)? How does he connect his statement
“Innovators tend to be solipsists” with the assertion that ends the paragraph, that
"we seem to have forgotten what activism is."

The key point he makes is that the mainstream media is more concerned with getting attention than reporting the seriousness of issues. He starts this with the fact that these American media present all kinds of news from an American perspective, forgetting that there are other perspectives that must be portrayed if activism is to actually be promoted by the media.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author uses the word "solipsists" to refer to the mainstream American news media.
  • This word refers to people who only see their own perspectives, as if the whole world revolves around them, not caring about how each situation affects other people.
  • The author associates this word with the American media to highlight its role in making news about international problems circulate in all of America.

The author reinforces the idea that this does not help in solving world problems, does not promote effective activism, but reinforces attention to the American media and places America as the protagonist of an issue that does not belong to it.
