HINKING CRITICALLY Organic Foods Proponents of organic foods maintain that healthier, more environmentally sustainable, and pur them supports local small farmers. We should put aside ey are natural, taste from Penn and Teller: Bullshit! (Showtime, Season 7. Episode 6. - Remember, our focus in this chapter is not on the pro or con ts about buying organic. Our concern is how we gue was natural humans can hold onto a decision (in this case, to buy organic are better the first reason, "they are natural. and so are salmonella and argume botulism. Tornadoes, polio and selfishness are natural Pain and death are natural The argument "It is natural therefore it is good" is fal lacious. But the four other well, those foods) even though we come to realize that all of our reasons for doing so are misguided. Unscripted, the people in the video display how our shared, human psychological tendency to reasons dominance structure around a decision continues to have the power to influence our behavior even after we no longer accept our original reasons for that decision. A 2011 NPR-Thomson Reuters seem plausible. Of course there's the issue of cost. Organic foods tend to be more expensive. So, for the ORGANIC PRODUCE PROC sake of this exercise, let's eliminate that factor from the other side of the equa tion. Assume that you have plenty of money to spend on food. Would you buy organic? Yes or no? If no, why not? If yes, what would it take for you to change your mind? What if all four reasons were knocked down, would ou still buy organic? What if all four reasons disappeared and Health Poll survey of 3,000 people about their attitudes regarding organic foods found that their reasons included "(36%) an eagerness to support local farm s 34% desne to avoid toxins," belief that organic foods were 17% better for the environment," and that organic foods "(13%) taste better." Why do we believe these things? Is there serious science backing up the assumption that you had plenty of money was removed? To see dominance structuring in action, after you write your these claims, or is it just novelty, social conformity, and clever wers to the questions above, search and watch "Organic marketing? What would it take for us to change our minds? ans

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

We understood from this video in terms of the power of dominance structures that the dominant power impacts the people on their decision. The dominant power influences the people highly and it impacts such that it changes the mindset of the people on a large scale and the people change their decision as per the dominant power. Thus we can say that dominant power impacts the decision making of the people without much understanding the reasons for the subject. Because it is psychologically that people generally accepts the dominant power in the society and in the market. If more people talks of any subject than it become dominant subject and people started accepting it. Thus the dominant power is the outcome of clever marketing in the market which influences the people in the target market.

No, this will not convince us to turn away on making a decision about the benefits of organic foods after viewing this video. We have good understanding and learning on the organic food and its benefits to the human body. Due to our rich knowledge and information on organic food, we will always prefer to use the organic food instead of the inorganic food and toxic food being prepared with the help of many chemicals for meeting the higher productivity and profits by the people in the market places. Organic food is the future for human beings and it will be highly accepted in near future due to its large benefits for human beings.
