Group #1 Alyousef, Hassan Qassim** ===In the last class every my teacher Carla gave let each one in the class to say his opinion about which chapter he or she prefer. Then when we were in group there are some of as change their opinion. I think that this was the because the peers pressure, which Gladwell take about is in his book. Secondly, when I was in intermediate school, the school was small, the number of the student was less than 150. Therefore, most the students and teachers knows each other. And the school was famous about the good teachers and student, and no one knows that reason why is that. After I read this chapter and about 150 law, I understood why that school was a good school.===

- When I read this chapter I had so many thought that I agreed with. First, I was positioned as the leader of Boyscout and each of our group was limited around 130 each. It is close to the rule of 150 since there were 4 groups, which means 520 members. Secondly, I also felt the peer pressure. I used worked in huge restaurant abour there were 25 waiters and I was one of them. The restaurant was really busy but it was easier to work in small restaurant because when I was worked in small restaurant the manager was checking on every single movement that I made. So then, I made more mistakes and it took more time me to get used to work becuase I felt peer pressure.
