Answer: Robert M. LaFollette

Explanation: Robert Marion La Follette (June 14, 1855 – June 18, 1925) was an American lawyer and politician. He represented Wisconsin in both chambers of Congress and served as the 20th Governor of Wisconsin from 1901 to 1906. Upon taking office, La Follette called for an ambitious reform agenda, with his two top priorities being the implementation of primary elections and a reform of the state's tax system, both of which the state legislature enacted in 1902.

His tax reforms were especially notable as the new tax law, which required railroads to pay taxes based on property owned rather than profits, resulted in railroads paying nearly double the amount of taxes they had paid before the enactment of the law.

He was a candidate during the 1924 presidential elections but lost to the incumbent republican president, Calvin Coolidge.

Answer:

       First of all, the desire of the public is almost always going to have a pattern, as well as their fears, even though fearing something could be very individual, you still can find a pattern.

        In this case, when you're advertising corn flakes, what you need to focus, besides the image, is the message that is being said, and in this case, you need to focus, not only on the quality of the product, but the desire to eat and what this will give you if you eat it, for example, iron. And by saying what you'll get with that, you focus on what happens if you don't get the iron inside the corn flakes, do I get sick? That's what the general public will think and then buy the product.
