Conteaza cine spune primul! Gustave Le Bon scria în cartea Psihologia multimilor: "Am spus ca una din caracteristicile generale ale multimilor este excesiva lor sugestibilitate si am aratat cât de contagioasa este osugestie în rândul oricarei aglomerari umane, care explica orientarea rapida a sentimentelor într-o directie determinata. Oricât de neutra am presupune-o, multimea se afla într-o stare de expectativa atenta, favorabila sugestiei. Prima sugestie formulata se impune imediat prin contagiune tuturor creierelor si stabileste de îndata orientarea care se transforma în act.

In “The Veldt,” Bradbury states that when parents spoil their children, the results can end up being very bad. In the text, it says, “"Wendy, come back here!" said George Hadley, but she was gone.”. This shows that Wendy, the daughter, doesn’t obey the father anymore. This is bad because if the children don’t obey the parents anymore, they’ll do whatever they like, and the parents won’t be able to stop them. Also, the text shows, “The two children were in hysterics. They screamed and pranced and threw things. They yelled and sobbed and swore and jumped at the furniture.”. This quote shows that when the kids were spoiled with the nursery room, they couldn't separate from it. All the time they would be in the room, and when the parents wanted…

Kindred represents cultural contact and exchange because an African American woman from the 1970s is forced to adapt to life in the 19th century with other slaves. Her own culture is dramatically different from the culture of Tom Weylin’s slaves. Dana is used speaking to white people as her equals and not as threatening superiors; she is used to exercising her rights to simply do as she pleases, which includes wearing pants and writing novels. The black people who she encounters in the past are slaves, so their culture has developed through oppression and submission; the women only wear dresses or skirts, and all of the slaves are to obey the orders given to them by whites, which include working for long hours in hot or cold weather.…
