Exploration on “What if…” technique (Escape method)

"What If"

This technique is part of cognitive therapy, and is designed to have the person realistically confront the feared negative outcome.

Choose one of the questions below and then trace the reasonable and logical consequences that would follow. You might be sure to think of both good and bad consequences.

examples:

What if anyone could set up as a doctor?
What if each home could run the television only one hour a day?
What if a citizen could serve only one term in one office during a lifetime?
What if gasoline grew on trees and was a renewable resource?
What if exams and grades were abolished in college?

HOW TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO RECYCLE?

REPORT

Recycle: Who and how to be responsible.

Nowadays, people always neglect the importance of recycling and ignore the consequences ahead and it is destined to be a human nature. It is because most of them think that the resources is unlimited. It is their mind set that they don’t appreciate paper because they don’t care the paper’s originality and just ignore the resources of the paper which is tree. The people don’t realize the tree is limited.

The mentality of peoples today can destroy the future of our children’s generation. They overused paper and thus so many papers are wasted. They also have no awareness of nature because they think the paper is cheap and easy to get. So, they don’t appreciate the paper that much.

There are so many reasons that is direct and indirectly caused by the ignorance of recycling the paper. The common inconvenience such as lack of time to do recycling because people have so much work to do everyday and they just don’t have time to recycle. Lack of space also becomes the reason why people don’t recycle. They don’t know where to keep those recycle things and just throw away the paper that is unused. Pest concerns for keeping the recycle things that leads to messiness in the house and it is also one of the reason why people ignore recycling. Last but not least, the lack of drop-off sites of recycling also caused the people to add more reasons why they don’t recycle.

Lack of knowledge in recycling also leads to the ignorance of the importance of the recycling papers. People with less knowledge become less confidence and they simply ignore the recycling importance. Some people just don’t know the right way to recycle and they don’t know where to drop-off the recyclable things.

Another problem that caused the ignorance of recycling are some people they don’t take serious about the recycling campaign that the government made in order to encourage people to recycle. They are not joining the motivational talk for the importance of recycle and they take it lightly as the recycle is nothing plus the attitude of people that is lazy to recycle that will kill us all with our children and our future.

So, let us rise and open up our mind to save the future and start recycling from now. May this report will make people realize how important the recycling really are.

IDEAS


>> To set individual mentality that recycling is important to make sure the resources will stay exist and harmony.

>> We must always think that recycling is very important thing that we cannot take it lightly same as our responsibility to our family.

>>The word not hard and easy to do actually is the point that it is our self-consciousness. So, if we know our role as a human being the recycle will be easier.

>>If we recycle, we will keep the nature safe and clean from be destroyed.
Recycle will keep the existence last forever, so our future generation will be grateful and they can see how nice the nature is.

>>Recycle is an important self-value in our daily life. Caring for recycling is just like caring towards our girlfriend as how we look after and love to our girlfriend is just like or same our feeling towards recycling.


SOLUTIONS


>>Government has to make more interactive motivational talk and make fun activities to attract people to recycle especially teenagers or youngsters.

>>Make more advertisement on how important the recycle through newspaper,radio,televisyen, and internet.

>>Control and prevent deforestation by fining and catch the people who destroyed the forest.

>>Reward for who recycle with money in a way that those who collected recycle thing can sell them and gain money.

>>Make the peoples realize the exact situation where we are about to lose natures by organizing more recycling campaign such as from house to house campaign and develop the sense of fear for example filming a documentary that mainly focusing on consequences of neglecting the natures. `
>>They should introduce a subject that can create awareness among the student about the environment.

>>The authorities should mark down parts of the forest as a reserve forest.

>>Reduce the production of the paper and increase the price, so the people will appreciate the paper.

>>Make some changes from paper that made from tree to a synthetic paper.


OUR BEST SOLUTION IS: Reduce the production of the paper and increase the price, so the people will appreciate the paper.

Random Words Association

When to use it?

Use it to stimulate open and divergent thinking and seek creative new ideas.
Use it to re-ignite creative thinking when you are running out of ideas.
Use it to get people out of a rut when their thinking is still rather conventional.

How to use it?

1. Find a random word
Find a random word that will be used as a stimulus for new ideas. You can do this in a number of ways, including:

-Look around you. What can you see? Can you see any words? What about things? What else is happening?
-Open a book at a random page. Run your finger around the page and stop at a random point. Look for a suitable word near your finger.
-Ask the people you are with to give you a random word.
-Select a word from a prepared list of evocative words (fire, child, brick, sausage, etc.)

Good random words are (a) evocative and (b) nothing to do with the problem being considered. Ambiguity also helps. Nouns are usually best, but verbs and adjectives can also be used effectively.

2. Find associations
Think about other things about which the word reminds you. Follow associations to see where they go. Think openly: associations can be vague and tenuous (this is creativity, not an exam!).
When working with a group of people, you can write these down on a flipchart as people call them out. It can be useful (but not necessary) to leave a space after each associate for use in stage 3.

3. Use the associations to create new ideas
Now create new ideas by linking any of the associations with your problem. Again, the linkage can be as vague as you like: what you want is ideas!
Write the ideas either next to their associations from step 2 or on a separate page.
If other people give ideas that trigger further ideas from you, then you can go off down that route to see where it goes.
As a variant, you can do stages 2 and 3 together, finding an association and an immediate idea from this.

Example:
I am seeking a way to reduce discomfort for passengers on trains.
With a group of passengers, we look out of the window and see a school.
Associations from school are learning, bullying, exams, playtime.
Ideas include teaching the rail company how uncomfortable the seats are, taking a firm stance in this, giving marks for different trains and seats and having games on trains so passengers do not notice the uncomfortable seats.

How it works?

Random Words works in particular by making you go elsewhere for ideas, and hence pushes you out of your current thinking rut. It uses the principle of forced association to make you think in new ways and create very different ideas.

Legendary A. Samad Said's Poems

Empty House

One night, mother was restless
she asked: When will you
buy a house? Sad, but with
a smile, I promised, soon -
a year or two, the latest. But
a month later she was gone,
regretting not able to see the house
of her child - her look was peaceful, while
her eyes were like holding a secret.

That is my only regret,
nothing else, that is my agony
forever.



Al-Amin

Life History of Prophet Muhammad SAW in A Poem

1(1) = Page 1 (Verse 1)

Glorification was first say, clean first intent, service first wish,the friendly morning sun rose, delirious was the core self that searched.Longing was the seed of love, sadness the balance of restlessness, the tongue the psyche of voice.
from the ancient heart the store of belongings asking the soul;until the core was the search, until the root was the digging, between lostand found, dreaming or awake, the restlessness of human history;tracing the path of return, preparing the path of coming, the soul was the navigator.This is the sheet, crumpled and ignored, the most difficult tear. (5.2.2004)

1(2)

Everything restless, the world and weather in black roll.Scratches of winks, quakes of lightning and red emberbetween them the dance of sand vapors of an era hot torturing;in fright the polite breath of quivering quarrel peak, searchingeverything - the restlessness of the sky and valleys, the hardened dates seeds,the camels' skeletons, the swords' rust marking the drop of blood clot.This was the face of an era angrily hot wild cut the breath full of worries,the voice of tired yells quakes of lightning of animals in doubt. (5.2.2004)

1(3)

Foot soles cracked here, memories twinkled a twilight or two,recollections are always unfocused. Sands of era of amber startedsprinkling odours and dusts from yesteryears, from all prejudices.Happiness was not a tale of the sons of Adam choosing the world. Massesof clouds were too far, pale and weary. The rush of wind was eerily torturing.caravan silent burned by anger within the waves of sand dunes.The camels nodded, tins knocking, every eye holding a secret.Happiness was not the tale. A while equivalent were the animals and humans. (29.4.2004).
