In the reading when Sharon Kallis was speaking about how consumers are able to dictate the terms using their purchasing power, it reminded me of the saying that "the people should vote with their wallets". It makes sense but it really only takes affect if a large majority of the consumers boycott a product. If a product or brand is not meeting expectations, the consumers need to 'vote' with their wallets, by not buying the product and not supporting the company. A lot of times, this is easier said than done.
Another thought I could relate to was about that self-made creations give a better emotional 'feeling'. Something this reminds me about is when cooking a home meal. Cooking something at home compared to eating out is a better feeling of achievement. Although there is a bit of a nitpick with this issue because in order to get the ingredients to cook a recipe, we often just fall into the convenience of going to a supermarket for groceries.
From the 3 videos I found that the last one about multi strand braid looked most interesting and simple for me. I'm not a person who is very good with my hands at building/constructing things so that's why the braid was most interesting because it was just repeated steps.
I would like to do activities A1, A2, and A4.
Good! Thanks Hugo.
