Starting off

Since its the begininning of the semeter need to think/evaluate plan of action for the rest of year, in terms of projects/topics, even if these will change along the way have to start off somewhere.

THE TOPIC

The earth is becoming a much smaller place partly due to our ability to travel to and from to almost any destination of the planet at almost anytime of the year.

Due to our ability of travelling and living and mixing with different ethnicities we are becoming more connected with other cultures and backgrounds of people then that of only our own. As a result people are getting to know very different people from all walks of life and ethnicities. In many cases developing serious relationships with one another, eg: getting married and creating families of their own. Thus creating a new ‘blends’, that no longer only associate themselves with only one ethnicity.

It is probably no longer enough to only know the language of the country that we live in to survive, because it simply may not be enough in the long run, especially if we hope to preserve languages from dying out. Also learning more then one language helps individuals to relate better to one another.

The website

Aims to raise awareness of the fact that we are now approaching a new kind of society that can be put into box’s in terms of ethnicities any longer.

The other aim of the website is to also help teach / educate people to learn a number of different languages (basic level) / cultures.

Ideas: Can have images /photos of babies/ people who are not one mix and get people to guess what their genetic makeup is and have a few only one genetic build also…

Could get viewers to create their own international currency, idea being there’s the same currency internationally or at least 1 per continent by click and dragging or drawing their own images. 0r maybe I should do this for graphics?

Since I want this topic to possibly cover digital and graphics need to be careful and crystal clear of what aspects of what/outcomes are for which subject.

Even though I have writtent the above subject as a possible topic/subject of research etc for these two papers there are a number of other topics/outcomes that I'm toying with in my mind to do instead or as well such as wedding industry related stuff, online portofolio and a couple others. Think need to sleep on this for now.

General note of why blog instead of write everything in a workbook with a biro, simply because its faster to type then it is to write.

Other issue / project option: is that my cousin has asked me to do a website for her, but have very mixed feelings about doing that as an school project, because not sure if it will be sufficient enough in terms of hours etc to do that, but also its not a area/industry that I'm particullary really interested in and therefore possibly not a industry that I hope to pursue career wise at this stage anyways. But since I will be doing it for her, think there may be some merit in making it part of a smaller project???Think need to discuss this with the tutor, or I'm going to drive myself mad I think. The other issue is that I'm not a 100% sure at this stage in what exactly it is that she wants from the website? Think need to clarify a few things with her also.
