Which assignment pathway will I chose?

-

    At the moment, I am interested in doing a social business case study. I honestly don't know which business I would choose yet. I need to become more familiar with social businesses or social enterprises. This is a good opportunity for me to explore which local or Canadian social businesses exist. I would like to choose a business that resides in my community and maybe reach out to the business owner. 

    I would like to discover what they are doing in terms of social well-being. I am also curious to learn why these businesses made the choice to be social. Does it make it easier or harder to operate financially? Are people more attracted to a socially focused business?

    I feel like this would be a great way to dive deeper to see what makes social businesses unique. It might inspire me to build a business one day that has the same effects and to engage and buy from more of these businesses.

I knew I had the talent, but I couldn’t let my nerves hold me back from doing something I loved to do. It was an enormous hurdle I had to surmount, but once I got to the piano, it was just me up there. The warmth of the stage lights hugged and welcomed me back again and again, and it soon became one of my ...

Response to "The Science of What Makes People Care"

-
     In the article, "The Science of What Makes People Care," they mention a quote by the famous poet and writer Maya Angelou which reads, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. " This quote captures the idea of the article that people are moved by messages more effectively when it affects and involves them personally. The two following principles particularly stood out to me in supporting this notion. Principle #2     The second principle suggests that we should "communicate in images." Personally, I learn and absorb information best when I am presented with images or visual representations. However, it is interesting that the article encourages the use of "visual language" so that we can "create drawings of images in the listeners' minds." Descriptive language can help our audience better remember our message as they paint an image in their own minds...
