Describe your favourite advertisement.

I don't have a favourite advertisement nor a favourite store, because most doesn't really interests me. However, I would prefer the advertisements (commercials) to be easy to understand and funny, it is more entertaining to watch rather than something boring. What soft drink do I like best would probably be crush or sprite. To me, it tastes better than coke, pepsi and such but it doesn't mean everyone will have the same opinion as me, they can prefer other soft drinks and not pick the one that I had picked.

What is working well with your group for this project?

By working together and putting effort into it. What would work better is having more time in the morning to be able to see our products, because having 15 minutes isn't enough to set up and sell and put it away. We don't really need to encourage others to work better in our group, because currently, everyone is doing what they can for the assignments, though it may not be the best, but if there's a little more time and some feedback which we just had, it'll be better.

How Can businesses Have a Bad Reputation?

Sometimes people can accuse them for something they didn't do. Otherwise it's usually the businesses' fault. They can end up in a bad reputation in a way of what they did wrong (lie about their products, treat their workers not right etc.) and how they treat the customers. They could try to do explain about the things they did, or prove that the customers are mistaken in order to get a positive reputation.

Respond: What do you think of this man's ideas?

I think his ideas are that we are heating up the planet while we could use a non-harm, simple, cheap ways to have a light source. There are different ways instead of using electricity and harming the planet. Some of the ways are using a detector, and an imager. It converts to an electron and you stick it on your window creating an image you can see through. If you don't need the light then you can beam it to your neighbour's house or friends'.

What I Think of What Author Isaac Asimov stated

What I think he meant on his statement is that no matter what you hear, been told by or having a sense of something by other people that made you not wanting to do it anymore, you still must do it. As long as you know if it's right, and achieving your goals, it doesn't matter about the people around you. Some would just try to discourage you and so you wouldn't succeed on what you're trying to do. They can be jealous, and selfish therefore, you have to listen to your own thoughts.
