My Own Reflection on Mind Map and Stereotype

After so many years of using Mind Map as a source of gaining ideas and creativity . To me it is very useful and it is advisable to use mind map all the time , for it can stimulate our brain to generate more ideas and it is easy for us to write down those important point . Mind Map are simple , instead of memorizing all the long notes and etc we can use mind map it save time and it works more efficiently .

Stereotype are widely spread throughout the world , it is generalized as a group of people with thoughts or perception that are based of unproven assumptions . Although most of the time stereotype are negatives , but there is positive side of it that are influential .

In Mind Map there are 2 categories Logical Mind Map and Associated Mind Map . In order to know more about both of this . One must understand the meaning and concept of stereotype .

Logical Mind Map is said to be a Stereotype mind map , for what is thought and written down in mind map form is describing the title of the mind map . The title of a Logical Mind Map are ones perception it can be true and it can be untrue . Logical Mind Map is what ones think of and how much the person is exposed to stereotype .

As for Associated Mind Map , is form of mind map that needs alot of thinking . It links the keywords but sometimes those particular words are not related . In Associated Mind Map , imagination is important for how one link the words to the title . It is the persons imagination , it is how they imagine and how do they wan to link the particular key words with the title . Associated Mind Map is the way of generating creativity

Logical Mind Map

Mind Map: is a new method of generating ideas or taking notes . It is done in a way that it looks like a picture , that way it encourage one to brainstorming and stimulate to one's mind . Mind map applied to represent ideas or other items that is arranged around a specific key word , idea or concept .

Logical Mind Map : is said to be a stereotype mind map .

Associated Min Map : Through the linkage of words it does generate similarities but it seems no connection .

Before knowing what does Logical Mind Map are all about . We were asked to do a research on " stereotype" . The concept of Stereotype is about categorizing or labelling a specific group or individuals . Different disciplines give different accounts of how stereotype develop . Stereotype can be positive or negative but somehow it goes into the negative part . It is an assumption of unproven perception .


To build a Logical Mind Map
1. Subject (Title) or idea are placed in the middle

2. Make sure the word in the mind map are the most dominant compare to the others

3. Ensure the main category for the subject is suitable and uses different colour and images for different categories to have a clearer view on it

5. Graphical images are advisable to be used on the mind map to be more attractive

6. Small ideas and categories are branching out from the main idea which is the subject( title) loacted in the middle of the mind map .

Novelty , Innovation and Invention

The definition of Novelty , Innovation and Invention . I had learn the true meaning of it during Mr Mustafa's Lecture .

Novelty

The definition for novelty is something that shows the quality , the creativity of something New , Original and Unusual .

Innovation

Definition for innovation is the same as creativity , something that is created through the thoughts of creativity that will bring transformation to the world , an object or product that lessen the burden of a persons life .

Invention

Definition of invention is inventing something , for example computers , mobile phones , Pda's and etc . those are inventions



Novelty is something new , it doesnt matter what it is . It can be technology , it can be something we use everyday , it is just anything . To me novelty are important in our household equipment . For example below with great fresh design we can have a brand new look for our house .

A side table shaped like a puzzle , with this design i can change the formation of , the way to place it , it is creative and usable .

Besides that in the principle of novelty , it does not have to be complicated , it can also be simple and creative . I have come around this website http://freshome.com . The creativity of this designers is that they are able to come out with ideas that will blow your mind . Their level of creativity is just beyond my imagination . Though creativity are in everyone , but how the person portray or generate their creativity is depends on the persons thinking and how they look in things .

This is a bedroom in a box , in just one small box everything is there , look how easy and neat the design is , it is convenient and easy to unpack and pack . This is an excellent product for people who move around alot and does not have much things with them .

Innovation is a creation that is created to make a person life easy , lessen the burden of a person or even save the world . To create such product a person must have a creative and innovative mind . For example microsoft have created a new teachnology , they name it Microsoft Surface . This multitasking touchscreen table have the capability to do anything that a computer can , but with better interface , better way of interaction and it is way easier to use . To think of such innovative design , one must know what the future wants , how easy the thing works and how accurate it functions . In Innovation there is a touch of novelty , for instance Apple iPhone it is a brand new technology that move the world into a new level of touchscreen phones . Now users does not need to use stylus to function the phone , and it is friendly user . Millions of applications are available in the net to enhance the iPhone capability . By looking at the technology we have today , innovation have brought us to a brand new world .

The Microsoft Surface

Apple iPhone

Invention . Without invention there is no innovation and novelty . Invention brought us to innovation the thought of creativity , with the thought of creativity it brought us to the principle of novelty . With this terms i thought of Laptop . Laptop is an invention that have the quality of a desktop computer it is small and can be use anywhere . There novelty comes in . With this innovative idea user does not need to worry , undone work or anything . With this invention we are able to stay connected with our loved ones and people that are close to you .
