This is where the blog comes to an end and the beginning of our Assignment 2. I'll have things lock and load for this blog and give it the finishing touch before blog entries are no longer accepted. I hope I didn't miss out any points or make any or much mistake.

Week 8 - Crazy thoughts
Random words and how to associate them with the situation is what we learn for this week's class.
The steps are pretty simple, we are given a situation and an item (living or non-living thing) and we have to create a mind-map and list out the main characteristics of it. From than, think up a random word that associates from the characteristics but make sure it doesn't relate with the subject matter (the main item). This is what we call random word.
And from that random word we have to come out with ideas on how solve the given situation. The random word's characteristic must be used in solving the problem.
It's a bit confusing but here's an example of how it works...
The situation is :-
How to scare, people through out the ages, from coming into a specific area that was once a place where toxins were dumped without revealing the truth. Two reason why the truth is hidden is because the authorities are afraid that if people knew, some will try to dig out the toxins and use for maybe, business purposes. And why not put a 'Don't enter' sign or something similar is because we humans are rebellious (most of us). These signs tend to provoke more people coming in than staying out due to 'the urge of wanting to know more' feeling.
The subject matter given is :-
