Applications and Analogies

Abstract
Many analogies have become ineffective due to changing lifestyles and demographics. With the high degree of diversity found in most student populations, no single analogy can be expected to be effective. This article presents two new analogies for collision theory based on arcade games and on the interactions between salesclerks and customers in a store. The uses, limitations, and possible extensions of the analogies are discussed.
