... is currently unavailable, the consumer is expected to choose a close substitute. From the firm's strategic point of view, this means that the marketer of a secondary brand should make its brand similar to the most popular brand. Careful consideration of the preceding description of consumer choice behaviour and the firm's selection of a strategy immediately leads one to question the general applicability of these assumption / thought. Although consumers often display stable preferences, sound choice behaviour seldom remains constant. Instead, consumers frequently change their choices of products or brands. Furthermore, the choices made on different occasi ...

... to dress differently, is a problem. It is a problem that goes very often un-addressed. There are plenty of stereotypes, but I believe the one that is believed the most is what the stereotypical teenage "freak" is. Constantly people assume, just by looking at me, a lot of different things. I was surprised to find the number of people who just figured I was into drugs. I couldn't believe it. Apparently, because I choose to dress differently, I must be trashed all the time. However, such is not the case. Police assume we are trouble makers. I have been stopped countless times, sworn at, and threatened by arrest, for simply standing on a street corner o ...

Another way to solve violence in our society is to stop letting them watch violent movies and television shows. That would reduce the corrupting of the young minds, since kids feed on what they see now a days . Many children will continue to commit these violent acts if the parents or themselves don't put the stop to the violence from the begining. If it is not dealt with it will just happen over and over again.The crime will continue to occur as long as our society keeps on action the way it is.The The THe TTHeThte ...

... would yell and embarrass the lady that was so kind to me and my brother. What did Debbie and her “sister” do so wrong? Years later, I am convinced that Debbie and her “sister” were a lesbian couple, and the incident at the McDonald’s was a bunch of stupid, homophobic morons. These days crimes targeting gay and lesbian couples are heard on the news frequently, and it sickens me that such ignorance exists in America. I grew up attending a church that viewed homosexuality as a sin, but my personal feelings would always conflict. I believe the argument can be derived from the nature vs. nurture perspectives. Groups such as the Christian Coalition and the America ...

... of animals. This was the first time in history when society accepted the responsibility to protect children, even if it is from their own parents. (Bender and Leone, 1994, p. 12) Child abuse data is collected in many inconsistent ways from state to state and from study to study, many instances of abuse, especially neglect, are not always documented, and the definition of abuse varies from study to study. These inconsistencies make it very difficult to analyze and compare the statistics on child abuse and neglect. So what does the term "child abuse" mean in today’s society? The Child Abuse and Prevention Act (PL 100-294) defines child abuse and neglect a ...

... by self-esteem, locus of control, anxiety, loneliness, and sociability. The many different countries of adolescence are all similar in one way. In Hong Kong, Iran, Puerto Rico, the United States and the Ojibway Native Americans when parents are involved in their children's’ life, greater outcomes are shown. This study, that Heath described, shows that not only one country is suffering from the repercussion of parent involvement. But all these countries have this problem. Almost every child is alike when it comes to strong parent bonding. The need for affection and acceptance is there. I agree with Heath when she stated “an involved parent is not one who spends t ...

... 1990’s, Yugoslavia was torn apart by a brutal civil war. This brings up the national question of relationships between multiple ethnic groups within one state’s territory. The violent breakup in Yugoslavia demonstrates that the multinational entities, located within the state, lack the ability to execute legal principles or guidelines to avoid the destruction caused by war. The former Yugoslavia was built to address three fundamental aspects of the national question. The first is a nation’s right to build up its own state through demands for national self-determination. Second, the nation has a right to monitor other co-nationals or even to demand unification. ...

... part of a gang by making it all sound glamorous. Money is also an crucial factor. A kid (a 6-10 year old, who is not yet a member) is shown that s/he could make $200 to $400 for small part time gang jobs. Although these are important factors they are not strong enough to make kids do things that are strongly against their morals. One of the ways that kids morals are bent so that gang violence becomes more acceptable is the influence of television and movies. The average child spends more time at a TV than she/he spends in a classroom. Since nobody can completely turn off their minds, kids must be learning something while watching the TV. Very few hours of te ...

... atomists, who were initially led by Democritus, believed that the world was made up of two basic elements, atoms and voids. Atomist theory had a great influence on the scientists who later developed the modern atomic theory. Pthyagorus, however, may be the most important thinker of Greek times. His mathematical theories of geometry had a vast effect on modern culture and knowledge. Another area that was greatly effected was government. The Greeks were the first civilization to develop a democracy. Cleisthenes divided Athens into smaller neighborhoods called demes. Each of these neighborhoods were guaranteed spots on the Council of Five Hundred. The represent ...

... he wants to be treated. Children must be shown how to show respect to other people so they can receive that respect. Another important value children learn from their parents is to be independent. Children who are not taught independence will have both social and emotional problems later in life. Every person needs to understand how important it is to be an individual and take care of themselves. When children are young, they are constantly taken care of. They are feed when hungry, bathed when dirty and entertained at the first cry of boredom. It is difficult to wean a person from this if it is not done at an early age. From a young age, children should lea ...
