Reflection questions:
- What is the overall topic and the goal of your project?
My overall topic was “how many people think manifestation really works?”
The goal for my project was to figure out what percentage of people believe that manifestation really works and why they believe it is real, and if others thought otherwise, how many did and why did they think that? I have always been so interested and found manifestation so fascinating and what impact manifestation has on lives. I want to learn more about manifestation now especially since it is starting to be talked about more on social media and has gotten more recognization.
2. What sites did you use to collect your data and create the infographic and what did you learn about it?
The sources I used were Insight Timer (blog), USA today, Berkeley Well Being, Shaneco, and Psychology Today. When I was using these sources I learned about the different perspectives about how people see manifestation and how professionals manifest. I also learned that 52% of people in the US believe the power that manifestation holds, leaving 48% of people that think otherwise. However, only 28% of people practice intently bringing something touchable into their lives by manifesting. There was not much information about the percentages of people who believe that manifestation is real but I searched multiple reliable resources and I was able to find accurate information.
I used the website Canva to create my infographic. There are so many different design options to choose from along with cool fonts, colours, and other little decoration stickers to add a pop of shapes or designs to my infographic.
3. How has the process of utilising these sites impacted your understanding of how technology can change (or help) the world?
The process of utilising these sites really impacted my understanding of how technology can change/help the world. I discovered this when taking important phrases from blogs and articles and turning them into my own words and thinking from my perspective about how I would say what they had used. Another tip I found useful was when I found a phrase I knew what they were talking about but just couldn’t understand the fancy words used I would google the definition for a more clear understanding. Another example is when I was using Canva. You could take already existing work and turning it into your own work by adding whatever you wanted or taking away whatever you wanted.
(My infographic would not upload on here, uploaded on teams)
