Document Summary
Tipping point is all the little points that converge and come together to make a big tipping point. So when we observe the change its enough stuff has aggregated to make a sudden big change at the end. Chicken game and how its in your best interest to limit your ability to compromise b/c you put yourself in a vulnerable situation to make the other side compromise as well. Focal point is expect what you think that your expecting about. War: 1,000 war related causalities, less then that it could be a terror attack, armed attack. So the assumption of violence is tied into the idea of war. But violence being apart of war is not constant, but changes across wars and in war. ~variance in magnitude: their can be change in the magnitude of wars. Civil wars tend to be 5 times more deadlier than interstate wars (fearon).
