It is not surprising that the birthplace of cola was the hot and humid American South This
Trang 4region had long specialized in creating delicious soft drinks A druggist in Atlanta, Georgia named John Pemberton created the most well–known drink brand in the world in the 1880s However, it seems clear that he had no idea how big it would become
Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of
alcohol and wanted to produce a stimulating soft drink First, he made “the French Wine of
Coca,” made from the coca leaf Then he began to experiment with the cola nut Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought was sweet, but not too sweet Deciding that “the two C’s would look well in advertising,” he named it Coca–Cola
Pemberton’s invention caught on fairly quickly By 1905, “Coke” was being advertised all over the country as “The Great Natural Temperance Drink.” The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and popular temperance movement in the US at that time In the
1920s, alcohol was outlawed , and sales of Coke rose significantly However, they continued
to rise even after the law was repeated
Another reason for Coke’s popularity was good business sense A year after he invented it, Pemberton had sold Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold the Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $25 million

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc In many cultures,
and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social
organization
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage Anthropologically, the term
“extended family” refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three
generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal
societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure However, in common parlance, the term “extended family” is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group
Historically, most people in the world have lived in extended family groupings rather than
in nuclear families This was even true in Europe and in the early United States, where multiple generations often lived together for economic reasons During the 20th century, average income
rose high enough that living apart as nuclear families became a viable option for the vast
majority of the American population In contrast, many indigenous societies and residents of developing countries continue to have multiple generations living in the same household The rise of the nuclear family in the modern West does not necessarily mean that family arrangements have stabilized, either The rapid growth in single-parent households, for instance, also represents a substantial change in the traditional nuclear family More couples are also
