Remembering September 11
Today flags will be flown at half mast, people will wear
patriotic colors, some will take a moment of silence and a host of other things
as we remember September 11, 2001.
I realize many students in the course were in elementary school on that dreadful day. Without negative commentary on Islam/Muslims or President Bush please write what you remember from 9-11 OR what you will do today to in memory of those who lost their lives and/or those who worked tirelessly to save lives in the aftermath.

Romance, Rings and Rifles
In a marketing ploy to appeal to
both genders D. Geller & Son Jewelers are giving away a couples massage with
the purchase wedding bands this week.
Later in the month they plan to give
away hunting rifles with purchases greater than $2499. The latter made national
news.
Both marketing strategies are loaded
with concepts from our textbook such as: socialization, social class, gender,
family and marriage and more.
What do you think of this sort of
incentive advertising?
Please say more they are trying to
appeal to their customers. The
company is trying to appeal to you! In your response talk about how
that works or how it doesn't for you personally.
