[EPS12-rt] Science education and marketing

[Csorgo Tamas]

	Dear Discussion Leaders,

	I would like to ask the following question from the
	panelists:

	What is your opinion about the methods of modern marketing
	and its impact of science education?

	Explanation for the question:
	It seems to me that science education requires disciplined,
	organized, logical thought, and menthal effort,
	while modern marketing is based on creating false
	illusions, e.g. assiciating success, sex, effortless
	happiness etc with the marketed product,
	based on known illogical features of the human mind.
	Modern marketing influences very strongly minds of
	millions in a way that may make it difficult to
	inspire students to devote effort to scientific thought.


	Thank you for your consideration,
	Best regards,
			yours faithfully
