The British have always been known to love children and animals. Sixty per cent of British families with
children have a pet. That’s well above the European average. 1__. According to some analysts, this is
a reflection of lifestyle changes that leave us too busy for pets. Children are also partly to blame. 2__.
Besides, children who do beg for a puppy or kitten are more likely than ever to be bribed into silence
with gadgets that don't have to be walked, fed or taken to the vet. Indeed, falling pet numbers may be
the result of kids simply losing interest in them. 3__. A decreasing pet population is not necessarily a
bad thing for animals. 4__. Also, modern life isn't always compatible with a dog's best interests, and
parents who say no to a puppy are often right to do so. 5__. A growing body of research suggests
numerous benefits of pet ownership: developing nurturing behaviour, enhancing self-esteem and
cognitive development, even stronger immune system. Some of the claims, however, may be
overstated as some of this research is carried out by people who are already convinced that contact
with animals is a positive thing.

A. And this is caused by children growing up with computers, mobile phones and even virtual pets all
demanding their attention.
B. Overall pet ownership, however, is slowly but steadily declining.
C. Pets often outlive childhood enthusiasm, and many have suffered because a child got bored with
feeding or cleaning routines.
D. Psychologists believe children without pets might be missing out.
E. Researchers at Warwick University even found that children with pets have stronger immune systems.
F. There aren't enough of them, and the falling birth rates mean an overall reduction in pestering for
a pet.

How Advertisers Seduce Our Subconscious

[1] In 1957 Vance Packard’s book The Hidden Persuaders astonished the world by revealing that
subliminal messages, which are below the level of people’s conscious perception, were able to increase
sales of ice cream and Coke. The experiment Vance Packard cited was later shown to be a deliberate
hoax, but one of the author’s other assertions – that advertising can influence us below our level of
awareness – is undeniably true.
[2] In fact, rather scarily, the influence of the vast majority of advertisements on us is predominantly
subconscious. My own research has shown how the emotive content of advertising enables it to break
almost all the rules which we believe govern our own susceptibility to adverts.
[3] For example, we believe that ignoring ads stops them working, oblivious of the fact that emotive
content requires no attention at all in order to be effectively processed. We also tend to think that if
we can’t recall an advert’s message, we cannot have been influenced by it. However, the truth is that
emotional influence lodges deep in our subconscious and is almost impossible to recall.
[4] Above all, we believe that our preferences as consumers and our brand choices are logical, and
driven by rational thinking, whereas the greatest driver of brand decisions is actually our emotional
predisposition.
