The Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget, said that the "concrete" operational stage is the 3rd of 4 stages of development, where children begin to think logically but not abstractly. They see and can rationalise what is in front of them but not the abstract picture. Piaget says 2/3 of people remain concrete operational thinkers all their lives.
Is this why there are those here who see this advert simply as it is portrayed - 2 men in what appears to be a homosexual situation? Some see the subtler, more oblique message and some don't - they see the concrete picture. Neither is going to alter the view of the other.
I hope the above doesn't sound pretentious, if it does I'll get my coat....
I did A level psychology 25 years ago, at night school, loved it and have been interested in the subject ever since. I'd like to do an O U degree course in it - maybe one of these days, who knows?
