How important is image? Obviously film stars have to look right for the part, but what about
other people in the public eye? For example, do politicians have to think about their
appearance, too? Albert Mehrabian studied the effect that speakers have on their audience. His
research showed that only 7% of the effect depends on what you say; 38% of the effect comes
from your voice; but a huge 55% of the effect comes from your appearance. So you don't have
to worry much about contcnt! Your voice and your appearance are much more important.

old people Jive alone foIl owing the death of their partners. As a result of these changes in the
pattern of peop)c's lives, there are many households which consist of onl.v one person or one
Bdu]t and children. Members of a family - grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins _

touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because people often move
away from their home tcm,'n to work, and so the famiJy becomes Scattered.
In generaJ, each generation is keen to become independent of parents on estC1blishing its
own family unit, and this fact can lead to social as \ e]J as geographical
differences within
the larger family group.
