How
well
the
prediction
will
be
validated
by
later
by
performance
depends
upon
the
amount,reliability,and appropriateness
of the information used and on the skill and
wisdom
with which it is always
interpreted.
5. The fact of first-rate
importance is the predominant role that custom
plays in experience and
in belief, and
the very great varieties it may manifest.
6. The casual friendliness of many
Americans should be interpreted neither as
superficial nor
as artificial,but as
the result of a historically developed cultural
tradition.

how
well
it
can
control
expression
but
in
whether
it
gives
freedom
of
thought
and
expression
the
widest
possible
latitude,
however
disputable
or
irritating
the
results
may
sometimes be.
8. Towns like
Bournemouth and Eastbourne sprang up to house
large
who had retired on their incomes,
and who had no relation to the rest of the
community
except
that
of
drawing
dividends
and
occasionally
attending
a
shareholders'
meeting
to
dictate their orders to the management.
9. And it is imagined by many that the
operations of the common mind can be by no means
compared
with
these
processes,
and
that
they
have
to
be
acquired
by
a
sort
of
special
training.
10. On the whole
such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain
degree of confidence but only
if the
child can be assumed to have had the same attitude
towards the test as the other with
whom
he
is
compared,
and
only
if
he
was
not
punished
by
lack
of
relevant
information
which they
possessed.
11. This seems mostly
effectively done by supporting a certain amount of
research not related
to immediate goals
but of possible consequence in the future.
12.
While
talking
to
you,
your
could-be
employer
is
deciding
whether
your
education,
your
experience, and other qualifications
will pay him to employ you and your wares and
abilities
must be displayed in an
orderly and reasonably connected manner.

As
families
move
away
from
their
stable
community,
their
friends
of
many
years,
their
extended
family
relationships,
the
informal
flow
of
information
is
cut
off,
and
with
it
the
confidence
that
information
will
be
available
when
needed
and
will
be
trustworthy
and
reliable.
14.
Until these issues are resolved, a technology of
behavior will continue to be rejected and
with it possibly the only way to solve
our problem.
15. The study of custom
can be profitable only after certain preliminary
propositions have been
accepted, and
some of these propositions have been violently
opposed.

Nor, if regularity and conformity to a
standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist
as
the
writing
of
his
papers
would
appear
to
reflect,
is
management
to
be
blamed
for
discriminating against the “old balls”
among researchers
.

Nowhere
do
1980
census
statistics
dramatize
more
the
American
search
for
spacious
living
than in the Far West.

Nonstop
waves
of
immigrants
played
a

years.

they
do
not
compensate
for
gross
social
inequality,
and
thus
do
not

From the shore-line out
to a distance which may be anywhere from a few
miles to a few
hundred
miles
runs
the
grntle
slope
of
the
continental
shelf,
geologically
part
of
the
continents.
6.
Coincident with concerns about the
accelerating loss of species and habitats has been
a
growing appreciation of the
importance of biological
diversity
，
the number of
species in a
particular
ecosystem
，
to the health of
the Earth and human well-
being
．
7. Coupled
with the growing quantity of information is the
development of technologies which
enable the storage and delivery of more
information with greater speed to more locations
than has ever been possible before.

Emerging
from
the
1980
census
is
the
picture
of
a
nation
developing
more
and
more
regional competition.

The
ability
to
acquire
habits
can
be
conceivably
inherited
just
as
much
as
can
definite
responses to narrow situations.
10. The inner workings of our own
brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of
investigation, but
custom, we have a
way of thinking, is behavior. at its most
commonplace.

Yet their
present development is wholly different, not so
much because of different people
even,
but because of the different thoughts that exist
in the minds of their inhabitants.
2.
If experiments
are planned and carried out according to plan as
faithfully as the reports in
the
science journals indicate, then it is perfectly
logical for management to expect research
to produce results measurable in
dollars and cents.
3.
Thus,just as earlier
theories have explained the mobility of
the continents, so
hot spots
may explain their mutability
(inconstancy).

As
is
true
of
any
developed
society,
in
America
a
complex
set
of
cultural
signals,
assumptions, and
conventions underlies all social
interrelationships.

Sir
Alexander
Fleming
did
not,
as
legend
would
have
it,
look

for penicillin there and then.

New forms of
thought as well as new subjects for thought must
arise in the future as they
