Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on
specific points made in the reading passage.
The passage and the lecture address the issue, whether the americans will prefer ecocertification of their wood products or not. The former takes negative side by describing three key points that are, americans preference of ads over ecocertification label, increased price as only factor and their inclination towards serving local market. The later however, claims that americans will prefer ecocertification, consider factors other than price and think about penetration of international market into the local one.
Firstly, it can be observed in passage that Americans will prefer ads over ecocertification. This is because its consumers are highly inclined towards advertising and they are not interested in paying attention to ecocertification label. But, the lecture contradicts this viewpoint and says that all ads are not same. People do care about products that are certified by independent certfication agency that is believed to be trustworthy.
Secondly, the author of the passage defines that US citizens just consider price as major factor when they make decision about their purchases of wood products. An ecocertified product will result in increased product price due to agency evaluation and eventually customer will have to incur that cost. The lecture on the other side opposes this viewpoint by saying that if price difference is about 5% between two competing products, then customer will consider other factors as well and ecocertification can be one of those factors.
Finally, the passage suggests that the american only serve to local market and considering the standards followed by international market is none of their concern. However, the lecture rejects this idea by proposing that consumers might be interested in using international products when knowing about their quality assuared by ecocertification agency. Therefore, in order for wood companies to avoid international market entrance into local market, they should take into consideration the standards of international market.
In conclusion, it can be observed that the lecture disagrees in all three points provided by passage.
