What strategies do you find helpful when trying to work in a distracting place? What is working well so far?
I'm a believer in the expression "out of sight, out of mind" when it comes to distractions, although I also spread it to hearing. Hearing: Headphones/in-ears and unobtrusive music such as soundtracks (especially for videos games). Sight: Choose an environment with no distracting items to pay attention to. What problem have you noticed so far with this project and how would you fix it? Not enough things set in stone. When we are being graded based on certain aspects of the project, it can bet very unsettling for those aspects to change unpredictably. For example, as a producer, I worry about managing my money correctly as a part of my grade involves the use of my virtual budget. But when different rules on taxes and limits on spending come up suddenly it can compromise my business plan. How can words be used by those in power to influence our choices? Words and language are what truly separates us from any other animal. The ability to communicate is what allows humanity to build off of other ideas and developments to progress our society to survive and thrive and a species. I believe that language is the most powerful tool those in power can use to influence people's choices and actions, even if those words are misleading or even complete lies. Update: Now that Trump has been elected, now more than ever does this seem to be true.
