Chapter 10-

Chapter 10 talks about how children are increasingly their influence over their parents.  I see some real legitimacy in this claim.  It is funny, watching advertisements, how companies make their product more appealing to a younger audience because companies know now that kids can sway and lobby their parents to make a certain decision.  There is a new emphasis on collective decision making and children are capitalizing.  I know, personally, growing up I could tell my parents were able to be swayed on their decisions by my input.  It was a much more democratic process than in the past.  For example, it was Black Friday and my dad was contemplating getting a new plasma tv.  I single-handedly lobbied him to buy the tv and to stand in line with me to get it.  Just proves the point, I suppose.
