      For example, someone high in SDO would likely be upset if someone from an outgroup moved into his or her neighborhood. It’s not that the person high in SDO wants to “control” what this outgroup member does; it’s that moving into this “nice neighborhood” disrupts the social hierarchy the person high in SDO believes in (i.e. living in a nice neighborhood denotes one’s place in the social hierarchy—a place reserved for one’s in-group members).

      This reminds me so much of the series Elite. Guzman must have had a high level of SDO, since he was so unhappy when the newbies arrived at his school.

      Openly expressing prejudice is like blowing second-hand cigarette smoke in someone’s face: It’s just not done any more in most circles, and if it is, people are readily criticized for their behavior.

      This reminds me of my school. Currently, you cannot make any prejudicial statement and expect people to let it pass. There is always someone courageous enough o point out teh wrongdoing.

      When a person seems too pushy, we get suspicious, annoyed, often angry, and yearn to retain our freedom of choice more than before.

      Definitely! We think they are trying too hard and their products may not be any good.

      It seems that the phrase "a good cause" triggered a willingness to act.

      Reminds me of the pre-suasion test regarding whether people like to help others.

      The peripheral approach is also common in the darkest of persuasion programs, such as those of dictators and cult leaders.

      This reminds me about an incident that occurred between my mom and a sales lady last week. My mom had gotten what he wanted from the makeup shelf and while we were on our way to the counter to pay, the sales lady came to my mom. She gave my mom a whole caring for your nails for up to 30 minutes and by the time she was done, my mom had 5 tiny packs of nails materials that cost quite a lot. My mom had never intended to spend such amount of money.

      competing with each other in the face of limited resources.

      I really do resonate with this. Back home, in Liberia, there are so many organizations with similar visions that see each other as rivals. Despite other major problems that the country is facing, these organizations have refused to join forces in order to advance the country. This has caused me to question their mission and vision. Do they really want to see such things accomplished in the country, or do they only care about the credits and who does what?
