Wrigley's Chewing Gum

Wrigley’s chewing gum was actually developed as a premium to be given away


with other product rather than as a primary product for sale. William Wrigley Jr.
was working for his father factory. It was not very popular with merchants
because it was priced at 5 cents. He convinced his father to raised the priced
to ten cents. This work successfully, confirming to that the use premium was
an effective sales tool. He established his own company he was selling soap
as a whole sale, giving baking soda away as a premium and using a cook book
to promote each deals.He started out two brands of gum, Vassar and lotta
gums and soon introduced Juicy fruit and spearment. Later two brands grew in
popularity, while the first two were phased out.
1. Observe how new products are introduced to the market. Are there promotional campaigns to launch the
new products?
2. Do the manufacturers of new products use give-away items in order to sell their products?
3. Tell the students that in some countries, chewing gum is banned. A person caught chewing gum ends up
paying a fine. Encourage the students to discuss why there is a chewing gum ban in some countries. Should
chewing gum be banned in the Philippines?

The Golden Age of Comic Books


Comic books as we know them have been around since the
1930s. The first decade and a half of comic books has been
labeled as the Golden Age. The Golden Age of comic books
has not only shaped some of the stories, heroes and villains
we all know and love today, but it left behind some of the most
valuable comic books around since they are historically
significant and in fairly low supply.
So when was the Golden Age of comics and what happened during it?
The Golden Age Of Comics (1938-1956)
Technically, the Golden Age of comics took place between 1938 and 1956 . It’s the first era of the four comic book
ages . Many iconic characters were introduced in this time period and became part of American culture at a very
interesting point in our history.
Comic Books As We Know Them Went Into Print
Detective Comics, predecessor of DC Comics of today, went into print, known for Action Comics among others.
The success of DC Comics led to other companies throwing their hat in the ring with their own characters and
stories that laid the groundwork for most comics we know today.
Famous Superheroes Were Born
In Action Comics, we were introduced to Superman. Detective comics also introduced us to Batman and Robin,
Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman in this time period. Marvel Comics — then known as Timely
Comics — introduced us to Captain America during the Golden Age.
Different Niches Began Developing
The Golden Age also brought us the beginning of humorous comics such as Mad, and children’s characters such
as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Tarzan. Various print houses further developed their storylines and
characters, branching out in different directions and experimenting with different genres.

"Cooperation and Competition."


(by Morton Deutsch and Peter T. Coleman, eds., The Handbook of Conflict Resolution: Theory and Practice San Francisco:
Jossey-Bas Publishers, 2000, pp. 21-40.)
Most conflicts involve a mix of cooperative and competitive motives, and so Deutsch develops a theory of
cooperation and competition in order to better understand conflict processes and resolutions.
A key element in understanding cooperation/competition is the type of goal interdependence found between the
involved parties. Parties goals' may be negatively interdependent--one party's success correlating with the other's
failure. Such situations tend to yield competitive relationships with a win-lose orientation. Parties' goals may be
positively interdependent--success correlating with success, or failure with failure. These situations tend to yield
cooperative relationships where the parties have a win-win orientation.
Cooperative relationships display a number of positive characteristics, including more effective communication and
coordination, open and friendly attitudes, a sense of mutuality and a willingness to increase the other's power.
Competitive processes tend to yield the inverse, negative effects: obstructed communication, inability to
coordinate activities, suspicion and a lack of self-confidence, desire to reduce the other's power and to dominate
them.
Deutsch's research "suggests that constructive processes of conflict resolution are similar to cooperative
processes of problem solving, and destructive processes of conflict resolution are similar to competitive
processes."(p. 27) A key question then is how to foster cooperative relationships. In response Deutsch offers his
eponymous Crude Law of Social Relations: "The characteristic processes and effects elicited by a given type of
social relationship also tend to elicit that type of social relationship."(p. 29) Friendly, empowering gestures tend to
evoke cooperative responses. Suspicious, domineering attitudes tend to provoke competitive responses.
Deutsch identifies some of the implications that this theory of cooperation and competition has for our
understanding of conflict, for our practice of conflict management, and for training in conflict resolution. A
cooperative orientation on the part of the parties will facilitate constructive resolution of a conflict. Social support is
key to creating and maintaining such a cooperative orientation. Constructive resolution is also more likely when
the parties can reframe their understanding of their goals and conflict, coming to see their respective goals as
positively interdependent and the conflict as a joint problem. This initial reframing, and so constructive resolutions,
will be facilitated by the parties' adherence to the norms of cooperation. These norms include honesty, respect,
responsiveness, acknowledging responsibility and extending forgiveness, emphasizing the positive and seeking
common ground. Constructive conflict resolution rests on the very basic values of reciprocity, human equality,
human fallibility, shared community, and nonviolence. These values are widely shared, and can provide common
ground between otherwise starkly opposed parties.
In addition to these attitudes and values, effective conflict management requires skills and knowledge. First are the
skills required to establish and maintain effective working relationships between the various parties and third
parties to a conflict. Second are the skills needed to sustain a cooperative conflict resolution process over the
course of the conflict. Third are the skills for developing effective group problem-solving and decision-making
processes.
These theoretical insights also have implications for practitioner training. The teaching methods and the learning
context itself should embody the cooperative, constructive problem-solving
orientation. Practitioners will also need access to a supportive environment,
if they are to maintain their own cooperative attitudes in the face of
unfavorable or even hostile conflict situations. Finally, Deutsch emphasizes
the need for practitioners to reflect upon their own practice and their own
frameworks for conflict resolution, so that they may both learn from and
contribute to the growing understanding of conflict and its resolution.

The Sob Sister


Jane Ray, a very clever reporter of crimes of passion, or "sob sister," for a New York tabloid, begins to feel
depressed by the sordidness of her latest assignment, the investigation of a young woman's murder by her
husband. Despite her growing distaste for her profession, Jane gets her story and, with typical ingenuity, frustrates
her competitors' attempts to follow her lead. Later that evening, Jane confesses to her friend Vonnie, who lives in
the apartment above her, that her job has soured her on the idea of love and marriage, but her interest is piqued
when she learns that Garry Webster, ace reporter for a "respectable" New York daily, who has moved in across
the courtyard from her, will attend Vonnie's party that evening. Although Garry is in league with the reporters who
"want Jane's blood," he recognizes real talent in her audacious reporting style and a real heart under her
calculating lady-reporter persona. The two fall in love as Garry joins Jane in her apartment every morning for
breakfast. The conjugal charade is interrupted, however, by a call from Jane's irascible editor Baker with a "sweet"
assignment: a tortured, renowned poet named Bentley killed his lover, another man's wife, and then himself in a
murder-suicide pact. Her instincts as a reporter not yet dulled by her newly found love, Jane leaves the apartment
on a false pretense, but Garry, receiving the same assignment, beats her to Bentley's sister's home and manages
to acquire Bentley's diary of the affair. Garry is determined to keep the diary out of the tabloids because of his
admiration of the lovers' courage to love and then to die "with no regrets." That evening, despite professional
competition, the couple spend the night together in Garry's apartment. Jane sneaks back to her own place in the
morning after leaving a note stating she has "no regrets." She plans to meet Garry that night for dinner to talk of
their future together. Pat, a photographer, arrives to let Jane in on a new story, the kidnapping of Billy Stotesley, a
millionaire's son who identified the criminal "Johnny the Sheik." While Jane calls Baker to refuse the assignment
and quit her job when he squawks, Pat goes to Garry's apartment to borrow some money, and while Garry is in
the shower, Pat steals crucial pages from the Bentley diary. Garry, believing that Jane has "scooped" him,
confronts her and accuses her of faking her emotions and of "selling" herself the previous night for the Bentley
story. The accusation kills Jane's belief in love, and she calls Baker back and accepts the assignment to find the
boy. Disguising herself as a gangster's moll, she infiltrates a speakeasy that Johnny the Sheik and his friends
frequent. Her cover is blown, however, and the gangsters, believing that she's a cop, drag her to their rural hideout
where they toss her into a room with the Stotesley boy. Meanwhile, a drunken Pat confesses that he stole the
Bentley diary, and, moments later, a reporter announces Jane's kidnapping. Garry, fellow reporters and the police
quickly pursue the gangsters, while Jane and the Stotesley boy manage to escape through a window, just as one
of the gangsters, Gimp Peters, is about to enter the room and kill them. Gimp follows them into the woods and is
about to fire when Garry arrives and tackles Gimp. After the police arrive, Jane forgives Garry, and they go for a
bite to eat at an inn. After Jane sneaks away to call her editor with a last "scoop" on Garry, he quickly calls his
newspaper. When Pat arrives with orders from Baker to get a photo of the two of them, Garry throws him out,
saying he can take one tomorrow on the courthouse steps at high noon. The next day's front page reveals the
headline "Sob Sister Finds Love at End of Kidnap Trial" above a picture of Garry and Jane kissing.

Porphyria’s Lover (1836)


by Robert Browning
The rain set early in tonight, Murmuring how she loved me — she I am quite sure she felt no pain.
The sullen wind was soon awake, Too weak, for all her heart’s endeavour, As a shut bud that holds a bee,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite, To set its struggling passion free I warily opened her lids: again
And did its worst to vex the lake: From pride, and vainer ties dissever, Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
I listened with heart fit to break. And give herself to me for ever. And I untightened next the tress
When glided in Porphyria; straight But passion sometimes would prevail, About her neck; her cheek once more
She shut the cold out and the storm, Nor could tonight’s gay feast restrain Blushed bright beneath my burning
And kneeled and made the cheerless A sudden thought of one so pale kiss:
grate For love of her, and all in vain: I propped her head up as before,
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm; So, she was come through wind and Only, this time my shoulder bore
Which done, she rose, and from her rain. Her head, which droops upon it still:
form Be sure I looked up at her eyes The smiling rosy little head,
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl, Happy and proud; at last I knew So glad it has its utmost will,
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied Porphyria worshipped me; surprise That all it scorned at once is fled,
Her hat and let the damp hair fall, Made my heart swell, and still it grew And I, its love, am gained instead!
And, last, she sat down by my side While I debated what to do. Porphyria’s love: she guessed not
And called me. When no voice replied, That moment she was mine, mine, how
She put my arm about her waist, fair, Her darling one wish would be heard.
And made her smooth white shoulder Perfectly pure and good: I found And thus we sit together now,
bare, A thing to do, and all her hair And all night long we have not stirred,
And all her yellow hair displaced, In one long yellow string I wound And yet God has not said a word!
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there, Three times her little throat around,
And spread o’er all her yellow hair, And strangled her. No pain felt she;
