Recently, we have been learning about how modern society percieve things at face value, as well as perceptions that are "the norm" within modern society. As a part of this, in class an interesting experiement was conducted, where groups of people had to bring in 2 of the same product for consumption i.e crisps, biscuits, etc and note which ones they personally preferred. One experiement was conducted using tesco economy crisps and well known brand walkers crisps-people who took part in the survey had no idea which one was which. Interestingly enough, more people preffered the economy crisps! This shows that as a society, we are more likely to be swayed towards the familiar and the socially exceptable, and often shun what we deem as "cheap" or the unfamiliar!
