I call the choice of a positive response to everyone and about everything Irish Marketing. I must also say that I have identified another form of positive responses limited just for spouses I call Shanghai Marketing. The rational that has been given to me is that it is the role of a spouse to identify and point out the areas needed for improvement. These different forms of
marketing have the same goals but apply a different means. One may think of this duality as the carrot or stick approach. This is an attempt by me as an artist to point out the Shanghai Marketing Approach much more clearly.
