Eco-certified Wood Products (Integrated)
The reading passage and the lecture are both about wood eco-certification. However, the author of the text claims that it is improbable that American wood companies will seek this certification, while the lecturer completely refutes the argument in the article.
From their contexts, it can be stated that the lecture brings into question all the three points stated in the reading passage that is used to support its argument.
Firstly, the lecturer states that Americans consumers do not treat all advertisements as the same. They value and trust in independent consumer agencies, mainly the ecofriendly consumers. This directly contradict the reading passage that denotes that American consumers do not value labeled or certified products and that they generally do not trust in advertising claims.
Secondly, the lecturer safely assumes that consumers value the environment protection actions and measurements. Furthermore, it is stated that the price of products is the main factor deciding between two products only if the cost difference is too high, which is not the case of certified wood. The certified wood cost difference is less than 5%. This idea strongly contrasts with the article that mentions that since consumers are motivated by price they will probably buy uncertified wood because it cost less.
Finally, the lecturer believes that American wood companies should pay attention on the international market tendency not just because the foreign consumers but due to the international competition. If the local wood companies do not offer certified woods certainly the international company will enter the market offering this unavailable product. The text, on the other hand, argue that only companies that export their products should seek the certification in order to keep updated with the rest of the world ecofriendly tendency.
