 TINDER
Why do we do it?

  This day in age we all use tinder when we are single. Literally every single person I know is on Tinder, but every person is embarrassed to tell people they met someone on it. Online dating is easier for people to express their emotions and it honestly is the new way of dating.

Design Sprint

Steps for Design Sprint
1. Understand
2.Diverge
3. Decide
4. Prototype
5.Test

I really enjoyed the design sprint concept. I am not very creative so it really put me in a weird position that I was uncomfortable with, but I ended up learning so much. My group came up with a service instead of a product. I believe in Dig Deep and the fact that I feel like we could help multiple young adults. Our service needs the finals touches and ideas, however I think it could been done.

Overprotective

Overprotective Parents


Parents are incredibly protective over their kids. I honestly did not realize how overprotective parents are now versus when I was growing up because my parents were pretty overprotective as it was. My parents would not let me stay home alone until I was fourteen and I was not allowed to stay home alone overnight until I was sixteen. I was an athlete all the way through high school so there was not a lot of time for me to be alone. Also kids these days have to do so many activities. They are expected to do every single sport and every extracurricular activities that are possible. They also are expected to do so much more in school now then ever. So, I understand the fact that parents are more protective, but also know that it may be due to a different lifestyle.

Are rabbits pets or meat

Rabbits?
 

Are rabbits pets or are they food? I really feel that rabbits are both. They are very healthy especially for dogs and other domestic pets. I personally love all animals, but I understand how the world works and I know that people not eating animals is going to be a long time off. It is part of the food chain and that is how it works.
I also love pets and animals and I feel that if someone wants to also own one of these cute furry creatures then they should go ahead and enjoy their cute little faces.

   • Set your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer to save on heating and cooling costs.
   • Install compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) when your older incandescent bulbs burn out.
   • Unplug appliances when you're not using them. 
2. Save water to save money.
   • Take shorter showers to reduce water use. This will lower your water and heating bills too.
   • Install a low-flow showerhead. They don't cost much, and the water and energy savings can quickly pay back your investment.

   • Lobby your local government to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay huge dividends in bettering your health and reducing traffic.
4. Eat smart.
   • If you eat meat, add one meatless meal a week. Meat costs a lot at the store-and it's even more expensive when you consider the related environmental and health costs.
5. Skip the bottled water.
   
    
   • Use a water filter to purify tap water instead of buying bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but itgenerates large amounts of container waste.

Domestic Masculinity

Domestic Masculinity

I am a young women in my early twenties, who is pursuing a career in business. I obviously think that men and women are equal and should be treated as such. I quiver at the thought of being a house wife and taking care of kids my entire adulthood. However, if a women wants to be at home in the kitchen then it is ok as long as she chooses this path in life. I do not believe that a man should dominate the household at all. I also do not believe that because that stereotype that men need to make the money and women take care of the household is ridiculous and is obviously not modern day. Some people are still stuck in this belief and that is often unfortunate because men and women alike miss out on amazing opportunities.

I understand the effects of shopping. I sometimes actually do it myself. It feels better to get new things, especially materialistic belongings. The feeling of getting something new that will be bring along maybe a new experience. 

Obviously the reason we materialistic things make us feel better is because our entire world is based solely on what you have. It is the sign of wealth, and the whole world continues to try to get rich so we can buy even more materialistic things. Why do we do this? Why don't we treat others who have wonderful personalities better than someone who has lots of money?
