New research finds we trust experts who agree with our own opinions, suggesting that subjective feelings override scientific information.
By Tom Jacobs
http://www.miller-mccune.com/
A clear consensus of opinion emerges within the scientific community on an important issue, such as climate change. But the public, and its elected leaders, remains unconvinced and unreceptive to well-founded warnings.
With this phenomenon growing frustratingly familiar, researchers can be forgiven if they begin to feel like Rodney Dangerfields in lab coats. From their perspective, they don’t get no respect.
Newly published research suggests that’s not entirely true: Americans do believe and trust researchers. But we focus our attention on those experts whose ideas conform with our preconceived notions. The others tend to get discounted or ignored.
“Scientific opinion fails to quiet societal disputes on such issues (as climate change) not because members of the public are unwilling to defer to experts, but because culturally diverse persons tend to form opposing perceptions of what experts believe,” a team of scholars writes in the Journal of Risk Research. “Individuals systematically overestimate the degree of scientific support for positions they are culturally predisposed to accept.” Sigue leyendo

For Advertising : According to David Ogilvy
“Advertising nourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production“.
Against Advertising : According to Jeremy Waite
“Advertising encourages us to buy stuff we don’t need, with money we don’t have, to impress people we don’t like“.
The advertising industry gets a tough ride. Now don’t get me wrong – I LOVE the industry. I’ve worked in it for over 14 years, but I do think it’s important from time to time to assess exactly what it is that we marketers / entrepreneurs are all trying to achieve (and why).
Advertising has developed a bad reputation in recent years but it also shapes cultures, it affects society and it grows brands. But because advertising has proved so successful over the years, it has become this incredible thing that our entire economy can’t live without.
Am I saying that we should live without advertising? Nay, nay and thrice nay! But do I think that our motivation for selling things is wrong? Much of the time, yes. Sigue leyendo
This is a guest post by Richard Leyland, an entrepreneur and writer with a particular focus on the future of work. Richard is also the founder of WorkSnug, the location-based service for mobile workers.
Last year I founded a tech company in the augmented reality space. We’re doing pretty well. What began as me, an idea and a laptop is now a company with five people, plus a small army of freelancers and contractors. From roots in London we’ve now launched in sixteen cities across nine countries and two continents. We can reasonably claim to be global.
But we don’t fly. More than that, our founding principles make a public commitment that we won’t fly in the course of our business. Sigue leyendo
In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler outlined the crucial importance of an ‘effective emblem’, which he saw as ‘the first impetus for the interest in the movement’.
His adoption of the swastika was a vital ingredient in the rise of National Socialism in Germany and its eventual domination of much of Europe. It is impossible, therefore, not to include the swastika, along with the Coca-Cola swirl or the Ford oval, as one of the 20th century’s most iconic and important logos.
It is an uncomfortable inclusion. Any sane individual abhors everything the Nazis stood for, yet it is still possible to acknowledge the expert manner in which its brand identity was conceived without supporting the ends to which it was used. Sigue leyendo
Se avecinan momentos difíciles para la industria tabacalera en Australia. El gobierno de este país prohibirá a partir de 2012 los logotipos y signos distintivos de marca de todas las cajetillas de cigarros.
El plan, que ya ha recibido airadas críticas por parte de las compañías de tabaco, es que a partir de 2012 todos los paquetes de cigarros tengan el mismo aspecto y contengan además agresivos mensajes acerca de los efectos perniciosos que sobre la salud tiene el consumo de cigarrillos. Sigue leyendo
