If you're referring to Fryberg, Markus, Oyserman & Stone 2008, do you think that schools deciding to change their team names/mascots might have something to do with far larger and more broad cultural trends over the last coupl

You joke, but I know people who hunt to acquire domain names first, and then come up with business ideas based on them. Putting it bluntly, I feel that this is an astoundingly misguided way to operate business ventures, and, so far, the mar
