MLC1013 Creative Studies

This week, Mr. Radzi gave us a mind map about mortar and pastle. We need to choose 5 keywords from the mind map. I picked exercise, weapon, coconut, noise and McD.

Exercise

- Both hands holding the pastle and use mortar to protect elbow and knee.Weapon

- Right hand holding mortar and right hand holding pestle.
- Use mortar to punch and pestle to back stab opponent.Coconut

- In order to open the coconut, put it into the mortar and use pestle knock it.Noise

- Mortar and pestle replace door bell.
- Before enter, use pestle knock the mortar hardly so people will know you at outside.McD

- Put your McD fries into the mortar.
- Grind it by using pestle.
- Enjor it.

What is Mind Map?
A Mind Map is a diagram used to represent concepts, ideas, tasks or other items linked to a central theme. In a Mind Map, the central theme is often illustrated with a graphical image. The ideas related to the main theme radiate in a clockwise direction from that central image as "branches". Topics and ideas of lesser importance are represented as "sub-branches"of their relevant branch.

By presenting the relationships between ideas in a non-linear graphical manner, Mind Mapping encourages a brainstorming approach to the handling and organization of information. Mind Maps have numerous applications both in the education sector, where they are used as an aid to studying and learning, and in the business sector, to facilitate critical thinking, problem solving and decision making.

Here is the mind map about me:

Convergent thinking and divergent thinking might sound complicated on the surface, and they can be when practiced, but as concepts they are fairly simple. Both styles of thought are employed in problem solving, and each may complement the other. In this article you will learn the difference between convergent thinking and divergent thinking, and also how the two types may best complement each other.


We locate a problem at the "center" of our focus and then gather peripheral resources to bear down on the problem. So then our resources "converge" on the problem. Often times with convergent thinking, there is a single best solution that is sought. An example of convergent thinking might involve taking a multiple choice test in which there is a single "correct" answer. The test-taker brings knowledge from outside of the problem (perhaps learned in a course) and converges it all onto the problem in order to choose the correct answer.

Divergent thinking involves some stimulus, which can take the form of a problem, and we can locate this at the center, as we did with convergent thinking above. However, the procedure is different. Rather than gathering information and converging it on the central problem, we branch off (diverge) and shoot for novel ideas, new perspectives and creativity. Instead of a single correct answer, there may be a whole host of possibilities.
