He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment. Thus, he concluded that the new society was uniquely America. He has a very valid argument, but I believe he could have maintained the strength of his argument while also including the fact that the American people coming from British roots, the Puritans, the Royalist elites, the North Midlanders of England and the North British and Irish were still unique as a sub-culture melded together by the choice for religious and economic freedom.

Fisher rests his entire point of view based on the roots of the four British folkways that separated the settlers in America.

Three alternative strategies that Chrysler could have put into play: develop a segmentation strategy that goes beyond only gender, through extensive marketing research and testing, identify and develop new differentiating features that meet consumers' demand, and differentiate the vehicle from the Jeep Liberty in more ways than just appearance. The pro that could possible emerge from developing a segmentation strategy that goes beyond only gender is that it would allow for more accurate market segmentation. The con could be that it risks the reduction of market share. The pro that could come through extensive marketing research and testing is the increase in market share. If Chrysler is willing to go forth with this strategy they must be willing to invest a significant amount into marketing research, it is very costly.
She says that today’s laws on alcohol are impracticable. With the drinking age at 21, teens do not get the chance early enough to learn about how to drink gradually, safely, and in moderation.
