[edit]

Morton Grodzins was a political scientist, not a sociologist. The term "tipping point" was more familiar in policy sciences, as a consequence, than it ever was in sociology. Political science and policy studies borrow heavily from sociology, but they are not synonymous with sociology by any stretch of the imagination. I took all references to sociology, including a use of the "sociological" sense Grodzins was said to have introduced, out of this article.

10% of a Population

[edit]

The 10% tipping point doesn't make sense to me. For example, at least 10% of Americans are Evangelical Christians, which they consider an unshakeable belief. However, all Americans have not become Evangelical Christians. Can someone explain how this makes sense? 2601:640:4000:A875:95DC:9E9C:CB40:8E98 (talk) 17:29, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
