    I started off as a host and worked my way up to shift and catering manager by 18. Throughout my years at the company, I’ve noticed we hardly advertise the restaurant or its food. Being a rather small franchise, we pride ourselves on knowing the community before knowing the nation. As a company we do have a public website, events with the universities near by, and even host professional catering events. However, we lack a commercial that speaks to the community as well as the nation.

    Franchises endeavor in making all products, stores, and services exactly the same, “Customers are drawn to familiar brands by an instinct to avoid the unknown. A brand offers a feeling of reassurance when its products are always and everywhere the same” (5). This, in turn, abolishes any cultural influence on a restaurant or product, making a bland, homogenous replica that can be found anywhere. The United States is becoming a placeless nation; there are McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and other fast food restaurants around every corner. Schlosser states that, “The basic thinking behind fast food has become the operating system of today’s retail economy, wiping out small businesses, obliterating regional differences, and spreading identical stores throughout the country like a self-replicating code” (5).

    Goals or needs can play an intense role in the different views of culturally motivated reasoning. We often have or mind set in stuff that benefit us or are that are in our favor.

The authors in the end then comment on the vital points of differences between franchising and licensing.
