    Mr. Jones contacts Dr. R's office to schedule a medical examination required by his insurance company. He's new in Los Angeles and needs the examination before starting work next Monday. Rebecca, the secretary, schedules the appointment for Thursday at 9:00 a.m. and reminds him not to eat or drink after midnight the night before. Mr. Jones mentions a conflict with a school meeting but Rebecca assures him it won't interfere.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Rebecca further assists Mr. Jones by collecting information needed for the appointment, such as his insurance company, Blue Cross, his age, and any existing medical conditions (which he has none). Mr. Jones provides his contact details, and Rebecca details the information that will be required for his health plan. The conversation ends on a friendly note, and they confirm the appointment details for Thursday.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Rick Smith from Morning Sun Travel introduces a new 21-day Australian tour, explaining the rationale behind its development due to high demand and the length of travel. He outlines the first stop in Sydney, mentioning accommodations at the highly-rated Five Seasons Hotel and highlights the upcoming activities, including sightseeing around the harbor and visiting a wildlife park. Participants are encouraged to remain active to overcome jet lag.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Part of the tour includes a trip to the Blue Mountains and a visit to Featherdale Wildlife Park where participants can interact with native animals. Activities continue with a cruise on the Parramatta River and a scenic flight over Bondi Beach and other notable coastal locations. Rick emphasizes the diverse culinary experiences available, reflecting Australia's multicultural population.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:28:39

    Bill and Anne discuss their upcoming talks for a social psychology class. Anne is stressed with personal responsibilities and lack of preparation, while Bill shares insights about an experiment he read involving role-playing and its effects on behavior. The experiment highlights significant behavioral changes among participants who assumed roles as prison guards and prisoners in a simulated environment. The conversation ends with Bill noting the potential direction for his talk.

  • 00:15:40
    studies at high school it's about how
  • 00:15:42
    wearing a uniform can change people's
  • 00:15:45
    personalities this professor got a lot
  • 00:15:47
    of his students to agree to take part in
  • 00:15:49
    an experiment during the summer vacation
  • 00:15:52
    but he wouldn't tell them anything about
  • 00:15:56
    it as the conversation continues
  • 00:15:59
    answer questions 26 to 30 you now have
  • 00:16:03
    some time to read questions 26 to 30
  • 00:16:36
    can you remember the professor's name no
  • 00:16:39
    but I think he was from the University
  • 00:16:41
    of California at Los Angeles well at
  • 00:16:45
    least you've got the most important
  • 00:16:46
    thing a topic I haven't even got that so
  • 00:16:51
    what happened in this experiment well
  • 00:16:53
    the Prof got the local police to
  • 00:16:55
    cooperate one night they went to about
  • 00:16:58
    20 students and arrested them poor guys
  • 00:17:00
    didn't have a clue what for and they
  • 00:17:03
    didn't know it was the experiment they
  • 00:17:05
    had volunteered for they had no idea and
  • 00:17:08
    it had been weeks since they volunteered
  • 00:17:10
    for the experiment anyway the cops took
  • 00:17:13
    them to a school building that had been
  • 00:17:15
    made to look like the inside of a prison
  • 00:17:17
    or a police station can't remember it's
  • 00:17:20
    not important and what happened then did
  • 00:17:23
    they get charged or something don't know
  • 00:17:26
    they must have been told something but
  • 00:17:28
    that's not the main thing which was well
  • 00:17:31
    what they didn't know was that about
  • 00:17:32
    eight other students were waiting at the
  • 00:17:34
    police station or whatever it was
  • 00:17:37
    dressed up as prison guards hey now I
  • 00:17:40
    think I read about that ages ago the
  • 00:17:43
    experiment took place in the early 70s
  • 00:17:45
    and the students dressed as prison
  • 00:17:48
    guards were told to act like prison
  • 00:17:50
    guards I've just thought of something
  • 00:17:52
    did the arrested students know the other
  • 00:17:54
    students I don't know I wouldn't have
  • 00:17:57
    thought so no different schools cuz
  • 00:18:00
    otherwise the ones who thought they'd
  • 00:18:02
    been arrested might have realized it was
  • 00:18:04
    the experiment they had signed up for
  • 00:18:06
    guess you're right but then what
  • 00:18:09
    happened remember yeah the guards really
  • 00:18:13
    got into it and started treating the
  • 00:18:15
    other guys like they see on the movies
  • 00:18:17
    making them do press UPS cutting their
  • 00:18:20
    hair really short not letting them sleep
  • 00:18:22
    a real Power Trip the poor guys were
  • 00:18:25
    terrified yeah the experiment was
  • 00:18:28
    supposed to last for a week but things
  • 00:18:30
    got out of control remember the guys who
  • 00:18:33
    thought they were prisoners not guards
  • 00:18:35
    started having nervous breakdowns hey
  • 00:18:38
    look at the time I got to go at least
  • 00:18:41
    you've got something to talk about how
  • 00:18:43
    role playing can get real especially
  • 00:18:46
    when we put Uniforms on yeah and the
  • 00:18:49
    students were normal nice guys who
  • 00:18:51
    didn't waste time with computer
  • 00:18:55
    games that is the end of section three
  • 00:18:58
    you now have have half a minute to check
  • 00:19:00
    your answers
  • 00:19:31
    now turn to section
  • 00:19:34
    four section four you are going to hear
  • 00:19:38
    a lecture about sales and marketing you
  • 00:19:40
    now have some time to read questions 31
  • 00:19:43
    to
  • 00:19:57
    40 e
  • 00:20:45
    good evening and welcome to the second
  • 00:20:47
    class of our sales and marketing course
  • 00:20:50
    tonight and in the next few weeks I'll
  • 00:20:52
    be talking about advertising to be
  • 00:20:55
    specific about different types of
  • 00:20:57
    advertising
  • 00:20:59
    different types of message all of which
  • 00:21:02
    of course are supposed to make your
  • 00:21:04
    company or your organization the
  • 00:21:07
    government perhaps more successful now
  • 00:21:10
    please note that I'm not at this stage
  • 00:21:12
    going to talk about advertising media
  • 00:21:15
    there are various choices here radio
  • 00:21:18
    newspapers television Billboards
  • 00:21:21
    magazines and of course the Internet
  • 00:21:25
    it's almost impossible to go into Google
  • 00:21:27
    or Yahoo or whatever and not find
  • 00:21:30
    adverts on almost every page but we'll
  • 00:21:33
    talk about the various choices of media
  • 00:21:35
    later first I will stress one thing
  • 00:21:38
    advertising can be expensive whether you
  • 00:21:41
    are a small business an NGO or a
  • 00:21:44
    multinational
  • 00:21:46
    corporation so it's very important that
  • 00:21:48
    what you spend on Advertising is money
  • 00:21:50
    well spent money that achieves your
  • 00:21:53
    objectives whatever they might be the
  • 00:21:57
    ads must be cost effective Ive it is
  • 00:22:00
    therefore essential to use the right
  • 00:22:02
    type of advertising with the right
  • 00:22:05
    message that make it effective there are
  • 00:22:08
    several types of advertising aiming to
  • 00:22:10
    promote one sometimes more of the
  • 00:22:12
    following things brand name company
  • 00:22:16
    image a product a service rather than a
  • 00:22:19
    product or a group like a manufacturers
  • 00:22:23
    Association or a
  • 00:22:25
    Cooperative can you think of anything
  • 00:22:27
    else
  • 00:22:29
    right you might want to make people look
  • 00:22:31
    after their health better and Associate
  • 00:22:33
    your company with things that can help
  • 00:22:35
    them do this but the common aim is that
  • 00:22:38
    the advertiser wants to change or
  • 00:22:41
    reinforce people's attitudes and
  • 00:22:44
    perceptions and in most cases their
  • 00:22:46
    behavior maybe their buying
  • 00:22:49
    habits which type you choose depends on
  • 00:22:52
    your
  • 00:22:52
    objectives all clear so far
  • 00:22:56
    good okay let's look at a very common
  • 00:22:59
    type advertising designed to promote a
  • 00:23:01
    brand name if you go out to buy many
  • 00:23:05
    types of product toothpaste detergent
  • 00:23:08
    cheese how many of you think of the name
  • 00:23:11
    of the company that made it right you
  • 00:23:14
    don't usually think of Proctor and
  • 00:23:15
    Gamble when you buy the company's Tide
  • 00:23:17
    laundry detergent or Cascade dishwashing
  • 00:23:21
    powder or the Craft Company when you buy
  • 00:23:24
    Philadelphia Cream Cheese that's right
  • 00:23:27
    Philadelphia cream cheese cheese is a
  • 00:23:29
    registered brand name in fact the name
  • 00:23:32
    of the company craft is hardly
  • 00:23:35
    noticeable on the package the point is
  • 00:23:38
    that these companies have successfully
  • 00:23:41
    promoted the name of various products
  • 00:23:43
    and consumers buy these products
  • 00:23:46
    primarily because they recognize the
  • 00:23:48
    brand name and may not even know the
  • 00:23:51
    name of the company that makes it so
  • 00:23:54
    advertising to promote a brand name is
  • 00:23:56
    designed to create and keep keep strong
  • 00:23:59
    image in the customer's mind of the
  • 00:24:01
    product not the company for example
  • 00:24:05
    would you buy shell you know the Big Oil
  • 00:24:07
    Company would you buy shell beer it's a
  • 00:24:11
    famous company but probably not imagine
  • 00:24:15
    but what if shell had bought a brewery
  • 00:24:18
    and marketed a beer they called
  • 00:24:19
    granddad's Old Ale you can bet that the
  • 00:24:23
    word Shell Oil Company would be in the
  • 00:24:25
    smallest print
  • 00:24:27
    possible and when would never be
  • 00:24:28
    mentioned in granddad's Old Ale
  • 00:24:31
    advertising but when you buy a can of
  • 00:24:34
    Shell oil or some gasoline the word
  • 00:24:37
    shell is big and everywhere so there's
  • 00:24:40
    nothing better than a good brand name
  • 00:24:43
    now let's look at another type of
  • 00:24:46
    advertising advertising that is designed
  • 00:24:49
    to promote a company
  • 00:24:50
    image imagine you've started a new
  • 00:24:53
    company you might want to start by
  • 00:24:56
    getting the company name known first
  • 00:24:58
    before you worry about advertising your
  • 00:25:00
    products and
  • 00:25:02
    services one company that did this was
  • 00:25:05
    in San Francisco the San Fran Video
  • 00:25:08
    Store the managers decided to promote
  • 00:25:11
    the company name rather than promote the
  • 00:25:13
    videos they rented out they put small
  • 00:25:16
    ads in local newspapers that simply said
  • 00:25:20
    San Fran Video Store a great selection
  • 00:25:23
    of
  • 00:25:24
    movies and they also had people handing
  • 00:25:26
    out little cards with with the same
  • 00:25:28
    message on them plus a list of the store
  • 00:25:32
    locations so they didn't spend a fortune
  • 00:25:35
    on Advertising they put most of their
  • 00:25:38
    money into making sure they had a great
  • 00:25:40
    selection of movies and it worked they
  • 00:25:43
    started with four stores in 1995 and now
  • 00:25:47
    they have at last count
  • 00:25:49
    27 now can you think of examples of
  • 00:25:52
    companies advertising both a product and
  • 00:25:54
    the company name in the same advert come
  • 00:25:57
    on you must be able to think of one what
  • 00:26:00
    that's right a good example makers of
  • 00:26:03
    luxury things like perfume and fashion
  • 00:26:06
    for example when Chanel brings out a new
  • 00:26:09
    perfume the advertising message is
  • 00:26:11
    always something like NightLight by
  • 00:26:14
    Chanel this almost immediately gives the
  • 00:26:17
    new perfume a good reputation because
  • 00:26:20
    it's by Chanel and also reinforces
  • 00:26:23
    perception of the company name so the
  • 00:26:27
    different types of advert ing might not
  • 00:26:29
    be mutually
  • 00:26:30
    exclusive the important thing is that
  • 00:26:33
    the objectives must be clear mutually
  • 00:26:36
    supportive and not
  • 00:26:38
    contradictory another type of
  • 00:26:40
    advertising is designed to promote a
  • 00:26:42
    service rather than a physical product
  • 00:26:45
    but our time is up so we'll leave that
  • 00:26:48
    till next time good night
  • 00:26:50
    everybody that is the end of section
  • 00:26:52
