Conversation with Banny today about the 15-16 yr olds reminded me of this.
The Mindset List is a collection of facts about a class of students (i.e. class of 2011) assuming normal age for college students. For example, for the class of 2011 (born in 1989):
They have grown up with bottled water.
Rap music has always been mainstream.
Russia has always had a multi-party political system.
Wal-Mart has always been a larger retailer than Sears and has always employed more workers than GM.
Commercial product placements have been the norm in films and on TV.
They learned about JFK from Oliver Stone and Malcolm X from Spike Lee.China has always been more interested in making money than in reeducation.Food packaging has always included nutritional labeling.
And the list continues for all classes up till the class of 2002.
