Many of your perceptions regarding price versus value are likely to be different from those of your parents or grandparents. Researchers attribute such differences to cohort effects, which are based on the premise that consumption patterns are determined early in life.

Answer the following in 3-5 paragraphs:
- 1. Describe instances in which your parents or grandparents disagreed with or criticized purchases you have made.
- 2. Describe the views that explain each party's position during these disagreements.
