Thinking of failure in a different light could change the way you perceive the word and the feeling it comes with it. Explore the different ways it could be seen such as a new learning opportunity, a new obstacle to overcome, or developing a growth mindset.  dranishaabraham.com    Failing is a learning process it won't always be  permanent and feel so defeating.

Entry #5 Mayhem

It appeals to a target audience of football fans by incorporating it into the ad but the use of humor makes it into a selling point for anyone else to be interested in. By using football, humor, and America's culture of sports leads up to the message of what they are promoting/trying to sell.  In the ad the driver is seen as a football fan which makes it more appealing to the target audience of those who like the sport. It shows him in a rush to get to the tailgate which is why he is tailgating the car in front of him. This leads the driver in front of the football fan to be less focused on the cars in front of him which is why he crashes into the car in front.                              Insurify.com   Although the football fan is being r...

Entry #4 The Impacts of Technology

Image
    Technology is now something that is incorporated into our daily lives as well as all around the world. It has been integrated into society and parts of culture. The impacts of technology may vary to who you ask and what their point of view is on technology as a whole, what do you think about technology? Is it good or bad or possibly both? I think it depends on how it's used and when used correctly it can be a great thing for us as a society or as an individual.                                                                                                      Linkedin      Connecting and getting to know people is a huge part of  technology it makes...

Entry #3 Mint

Image
      Has your mouth every watered over a treat that would leave your mouth and breathe smelling and feeling clean? I have, especially those that taste so good you can't stop eating them. So many varieties, flavors and sizes to choose from that could become your favorite. It may be a simple treat but the  experience you receive from it is even better.      So many options to choose from but my favorite comes in round packing, both ends of the container have little flaps that could be opened so  whichever side you choose to open you can. The savory taste of cold, freshness, and even sometimes a little spicy overwhelms my tastebuds. You may be wondering how can this make my mouth feel cold? Well it all has to do with your nerves and braincells and the messages that are being sent to one another. In  Galleria of Smiles  it goes into more depth about why we feel this sensation when it's being consumed. But to cut it short, when our body...

  Artificial intelligence has always been a controversial topic. Is it a good or bad thing? Depending on your stance and opinions on AI you could say it's good, bad, or probably even a little bit of both.

It has made an impact in the medical field that will help further our understanding of many things or making simple tasks even easier.

AI has made it easier and much more accessible for doctors to understand and see any issues their patients may have.

Entry #1 Impacts and Benefits of Reading

Image
   As a child, I always enjoyed reading, sitting down for hours, and immersing myself in whatever book I could get my hands on. As I've gotten older, my love for reading has not diminished, but rather the amount of spare time I have. As the years have passed, my time for it has decreased, causing me to not be able to fully enjoy doing it in my spare time. Although that is the case for now, I still really enjoy reading. It was a way for me to help pass time and reduce any stress I had, and I enjoyed expanding my vocabulary. Reading helped shape and impact my likes and dislikes, my concentration levels, and broaden my imagination. There was no limit to my imagination when I was reading. The way you perceive reading could impact you similarly to me or in a completely different way. There isn't a limit to how reading can be impactful or beneficial.  Reading isn't just words on paper with no meaning; you have to use your imagination and expand your mind. Be open to the thought...

Most have different purposes and are even used in other creative ways.
