The researchers concluded, shockingly, that humans need to be right and acknowledged as right, at least some of the time, to be happy They also noted this was further proof that if given too much power, humans tend to "assume the alpha position and, as with chimpanzees, they become very aggressive and dangerous." It is often said that there can be no peace without justice, and that's true of domestic sphere Obviously the results are to be taken with extreme caution, since this was just one couple with who-knowswhat underlying issues beforehand But the study's chief author, Dr Bruce Arroll, maintains that the question of happiness vs rightness, theoretically, could be settled by scientific inquiry with a wider sample "This would include a randomized controlled trial,” he says "However, we would be reluctant to the definitive study because of the concern about divorce."

Even for the region with the lowest use level in the study, the market saturation is just over 63 percent In highly developed nations, the saturation is well over 100 percent, meaning that people have more than one mobile phone service Even though most of the world's population has mobile service, it doesn't mean that an organization can blast a call or message to everyone, though it might be technically possible In addition to laws that prohibit this type of communication, phone conversations are still one-to-one (or one-to-few with conference calling) connections As well, text messages, even though they can technically be broadcast to millions, cannot legally be sent unless the mobile subscriber opts in to receive So, in one sense, text message campaigns could be classified as mass media since they are a one-to-many communication But due to the opt-in nature of these campaigns, the mass that they reach will be limited That being said, there is no doubt that mass media communications delivered via mobile devices, particularly through mobile apps and push notifications (alert messages that pop up on a mobile device screen), will become a primary delivery system of the future 91 Similarly, email is often a one-to-many communication, particularly for communications such as email marketing and newsletters Like text messaging and cell phone calls, a person must share an email address (optin) in order to receive messages Broadcasting to the masses without permission violates the Federal Trade Commission's CAN-SPAM Act As with mobile text messages, email can be a mass media communication but will be limited (Adapted from https://toughnickel.com/) Question 36: Which of the following best serves as the title for the article?

the type of restaurant, eg., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurant determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurant Question 31: With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?
