can now follow state affairs seeing and hearing politicians speak before an election Better informed he she is more likely to vote making their opinion count Unfortunately television s influence has been extremely harmful to the young Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless Children believe and want to practice what they see They do believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable All educators agree that the television generation is more violent than that of their parents and grandparents Also the young are less patient Since they get used to the entertaining and exciting elements of TV shows they do not have the patience to read an article

coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their product s obvious advantages Furthermore the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste The producer thought that there might be deeper reasons however This was confirmed by one of motivation research s classic studies one often cited in the trade Mason Haire of the University of California made two shopping lists that were almost the same except for one item There were six items common to both lists hamburger carrots bread baking powder canned peaches and potatoes with the brands or amounts specified The seventh item in fifth place on both lists read one pound Maxwell House coffee on one list and Nescafe instant coffee on the other One list was given to each one in a group of fifty women and the other list to those in the other group of the same size These women were asked to study their list and then to describe as far as they could the kind of woman personality and character who would draw up that shopping list Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and was a poor planner On the other hand only one woman in the other group described the housewife who had included regular coffee on her list as lazy only six of that group suggested that she was probably not a good wife and no one drew the same conclusion as the women in

American Indian language For example Illinois was named by the Indians who used to live in that part of the country In their language Illinois means brave man While Connecticut means at the long river
