Analysis and Discussion

The Likability Sweepstakes

1. In the age of television, the images of
candidates are more important than issues.
At the beginning of the 1988 presidential
campaign, Bush was seen as awkward,
wimpish, maladroit, goofy and lacking
charisma, whereas Dukakis was characterized
as competent, soulless, reserved, tough and
hard. How did the image-makers remodel
their candidates to make them appear more
likeable and appealing to a vast TV audience?

2. How useful then are televised presidential
debates?

3. The quotation from Arthur Miller's Death of
Salesman underlines the American belief that
being well-liked is an important key to
success. Do you share this view?

4. To what extent do you think the likability
■ factor decides elections in your country?

Comment

Dilemmas

1. Which cases mentioned in the opinion poll
did the respondents find the most
objectionable and which the least
objectionable? How do you account for the
results of this opinion poll?

2. If you were an editor, how would you react
in each of the situations described?

3. Do you know any similar cases that actually
happened in the U.S.A., any other country or
your own country?
