Tipping point is known to be a worldwide term that has become very popular in diverse form of usage for referring or describing the probable effects of the processes resulting from the consequences of the way we live on earth referring to our relationship with the environment and other aspects of life. There have been lots of definitions over the years which have been used to describe this term, (Gladwell, 2006) defined tipping point as a dramatic movement when an idea, trend or social behaviour crosses a threshold, tips over and spreads very fast. It was also defined as a situation in which the agents that generate stability tend to overpower the agents that create instability and the system tips over into disequilibrium (Ayres, 1998; Gladwell, 2000). Tipping point is being distinguished looking at its three characteristics- one , contagiousness; two, the fact that little things often have big effects in any system and three, that alterations in any given system happens at one dramatic moment and not gradually. (Gladwell, 2000) expressed that out of all three characteristics, the third attribute is the most important because it is the main principle that makes sense of the others and allows for the highest understanding unto why modern change happens the way it does.
Tipping point is known to have a positive and negative side called positive and negative tip. Negative tip tends to create a shift from any desirable stability state to an undesirable state while a positive tip creates a shift from an undesirable state to a desirable one. For every tipping point, there is a phenomena that is forced to cross it, they are known as tipping elements (Lenton et al., 2009), they are components of any system that can be switched into a desirable or undesirable state as a result of a particular condition or conditions by a small disturbance, thereby defining tipping point as that critical threshold at which a transition is triggered for a given tipping element.
