Dissertation begins dum dum dum

I wasn't very well prepared for my last dissertation meeting so I've decided to give myself a wee kick up the arse.

I'm looking into the area of social design. This area seems bigger than I ever imagined. I was initially interested in community projects like DOTT. It was one of the things I've come accross and thought yeh this is brilliant. and I've been really enjoying the focus of textiles this semester. I think I got frustrated last year when we were doing trend forecasting. I found it a bit boring. We were hearing about all this big world stuff in DHTP but couldn't really use it. This year however has seen those two courses tie together..Its fab....but yeh I am a total geek.

I came across a good youtube videotoday on www.socialdesignsite.com that nicely summerised that social design is the future, its kindof undifined but people had a bash anyway



.


I've taken some notes as the video was playing for my own use

The world is changing fast, what kind of change is it, what future are we heading for.

"Interact / ballenced and created human relations/ design with a meaning/ a nice word/ make people aware of issues that cause social change/ dont earn money from the work/"

we as a sociaet have experienced difficulties or have failed. Also things we are doing pretty well

EVERYTHING THAT IS MAN MADE

We all create the world we live in.

Bring back the responisbility of every singe action to the people.

Watch your thoughts for they become words,
Watch your words for they become actions,
Watch your actions for they become habits,
Watch your habits for they become character,
Watch your character for it becomes your destiny
