While the basic purpose of the Silk Road remained mostly the same, its’ goods and destinations went through many changes. The road started as a small transport route for Eurasian merchants, but later turned into an important economical and cultural necessity. Once Asian products, like spices and fabrics, were used by Europeans, they became dependent on them. This also occurred in Asia, and it began to shape both cultures. Also, due to the large amount of political changes that occurred during this expanse of time, the Silk Road also traveled through the new countries that began when the Roman Empire collapsed.

KFF should research the market to find the needs of the customers. Big companies could be the perfect place to start the research like what kind of orders they place and when they order. Other sort of information could be found in the census reports like type and age of population, income, religion, education, occupation will help decide the needs of other consumers. This will help narrow down requirements for catering business.

Shopping malls in today's society are generally sought after for that last minute birthday gift, a trendy outfit to wear out next weekend, or simply just a hang out for teens and young adults. In Jon Pahl's essay, entitled The Mall as Sacred Space, he conveys a bold opinion about the malls in our country being cathedrals for the new, universal religion of modern America. Although his essay is not entirely exaggerated, several of Pahl's assumptions are distorted. Not only does Pahl make a direct comparison between a religious environment and a shopping mall, but he also suggests a mall can be seen as a facility for religious appeasement and societal disorientation. Pahl's ideas reflect those of Western Maryland College professor, Ira G. Zepp, and mall architect, James Rouse.
Other types of advertising include hidden persuades. One can look at the example of door to door selling where catalogs are given to people and when these catalogs are recollected, the people are asked whether they want to purchase anything found on the catalog.

Also some firms issue copies of their magazines with popular newspapers for example a magazine called Homeworks, which is a magazine advertising furniture, is issued with the Sunday Times.
