Consider the opening story of the chapter. Reflecting on the information presented, respond to the following two questions and relate them to the chapter content.

1		Explain Carol Johansen's difficulty by examining ubiquity, cumulativeness, and consonance. How does the media's influence affect Carol's views about spanking?
2		What if Carol was part of the hard core? What might she say to her friends about spanking? Discuss the implications of her "hard-core beliefs" when others around the table do not have similar beliefs?
