<u>Answer:</u>
Telemarketers know that anyone who agrees to listen to a pitch is more likely to buy the product, thanks to the foot-in-the-door phenomenon.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- 'Foot-in-the-door phenomenon' is the phenomenon of persuading someone to agree upon a big request after them 'agreeing to a small request'.
- This phenomenon is based on a principle that when a person agrees upon a small request, there is development of bond between the requester and request.
- This development of bond will help the requester to make request agree upon his request.
- In the above case, if a person agrees to listen to the polite pitches of telemarketers, there is agreement on small request and the probability to buy a product will increase because there is development of bond between them.

The desegregation of an entire community was somewhat of a social experiment. It was referred to as "River City" and remained anonymous throughout the Civil Rights Era, but in all reality the community was Greenville Mississippi. Greenville was chosen for its unique diversity (White, Black, Chinese, Jewish and Middle-Eastern folks) and tolerance among the various ethnicities. It was also chosen for it's location, the deep south infamous for extreme racism. The experiment was organized, poorly, by a survey by the national government called The Coleman Report. Unfortunately the report was disorganized and notes were not maintained so the results of the experiment in desegregation are unknown.
Here's what we do know, the schools of Greenville were completely desegregated. Black students and white students attended schools together and harmoniously, even the private schools opened their doors to diversity. The staff integrated together as well, in some instances white teachers answered to a black principal which was a dramatic change for the people of the deep south. Greenville and it's people continued to co-exist peacefully for years.
Unfortunately, statistics now show what some call de-evolution of society. Neighborhoods and schools are more segregated than they have been in decades. The economic statuses and quality of public education are greater in the white-majority neighborhoods. "River City" is taking steps backwards.
