Childlike thinking

Its already the mid of first term. omg. And things, rather than calming down, seem to be speeding up.

Thankfully, the theory-based subject - Communication Revolutions, is catching my fancy.

I started out feeling so out of my depth with this subject. However, as it went on, I began to see the link between this subject and the Honours project. They both involve thinking in the abstract domain.

I find myself recognizing the train of thought I used to have as a child. 'How can the thoughts of a child be the same as an Honours student?' Is what you might ask; Well, just like when you first experienced the world in your younger years, You had no conception of categorizations, of subjects, of what should be labeled as logical, and what constitutes as artistic.

The world was one big formless blob and everything was interlinked in your mind.

Teachers were in the same category as creatures. Candy was the same as Pills.

Communication Revolutions requires such a mind. Looking at things without prejudice and trying to redefine them in your mind. I find it very similar to the course Intro to Philosophy which I took few terms ago.

I recommend it to those who are thinking of an elective that is relevant on many levels.

I believe Phiosophers are tomorrow's Rock Gods!

I foresee an era of ads that are different for every person. I theorize that, just like the evolution of any species, when a species specializes too much, it breeds weakness. Therefore, I think that advertising will begin to divide communities and encourage selfish individualism. 2.What existing research in how to do this (methods/practice)? *After looking at some of the research methods available. I find I will begin from a sort of Poetic research and then nail down the project with action research. Since advertising is all about interacting with the community, this is the most appropriate method. 3.What existing research in the content area? *There are so much prior research in this area, I am still taking time to filter through this area. more research into the are...

It sounds remarkably like the application on Facebook where users get to 'sell' and 'buy' their friends like some form of digital black market trade.

The Evolving Urban City: Thriving Kuala Lumpur

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying. I am currently writing an article for Mah Sing which aims to explain their purpose behind developments in the outer suburbs or outskirts of Greater KL. Finally moving towards a nation with progressive planning, I am glad that the fabled Wawasan 2020 may have achieved its influence in the minds of Malaysians.
