...Perceptual blocks, habits and fossil fuel. The renewable energy debate is something that all people have weighed in on and continue to argue about. Some people say that there are more than enough fossil fuels to provide energy for years to come. Others want to introduce hybrids into the mix in order to lessen the carbon footprint, even though electric cars still rely on the electricity generated by coal. Many people want to explore new alternatives for energy while others want to find new areas to drill for the oil that we are all so reliant upon. I have been interested in alternative energy resources since childhood. I have always had a hard time understanding how man could be so reliant upon fossil fuel when there are so many other resources out there that are renewable, prolific, and easily attainable. Solar, wind and water is a much better option to look at. Our country should stop spending so much money on fossil fuels and instead invest in researching the benefits of energy derived from water. Water is our planet’s greatest and most renewable resource. Hydrogen is a very powerful chemical that could provide energy for engines and generators. I can only speculate as to why it has been ignored for so very long. I have spent a lifetime listening to my family and role models detail renewable energy, sustainable yield, and the money hungry government. Advocating for alternative energy has become a veritable tradition. “Resistance to change” and “mine-is-better” is the ruling...

...A mental block is an instance in which someone cannot keep their train of thought or remember something that they should. There are many types of mental blocks and we will list some of them, along with examples, in this assignment. Perceptual Blocks A perceptual block causes a disturbance in the way a problem is perceived. Below are types of perceptual blocks and examples of each. • Stereotyping is when something is perceived in a certain way for so long that it is difficult to view it in another way. For example; if you were stranded in the wilderness and only had your clothes, but had an opportunity to catch fish in a stream, you might be able to pull threads from your clothing to make a fishing line. But you may be so used to only wearing clothes that you may not think of this as a possibility. • Limiting the problem unnecessarily is when you set unrequired limitations on yourself. Examples of this can be found in many riddles, which trick you into tightening the scope of your thinking so that you miss the obvious. For example, what gets wet when it’s drying? • Saturation or Information Overload is when you have to have too much information at your disposal tom utilize it efficiently. You might end up spending more time organizing your information than using it to solve your problem. An example of this could be found in computer programming, when an input is bad and you have to look through the entire code to find it. The amount of symbols perceived could be an overload...

...Block Coffee Shop 10 One Way Blvd Campus, MD 20010 05/17/2016 Dear Sir/Madam: I ‘m a frequent client to Block Coffee Shop. I been coming to your coffee shop for over a year. I lived in a tiny apartment across the street and the coffee shop very convenience for me. I come during the day to get my cup coffee and donut and during evening I come by to study and eat some healthy snack such as your delicious snack bars and smoothie. I love coming to your coffee shop. The feeling of the atmosphere is grooving and always exciting making sometimes hard to focus on school work. The only thing that is missing its having a printer in the store. The coffee store will make more profit by adding a printer. It will bring in more new customer from the neighborhood. People would be able to print and buy coffee and snacks. This will increase sells and the printer and accessories will pay by it selves without putting money from the store. However without having in store printer I will have to go to a distance to be able to print. Sometimes I have to walk 5 blocks to ABC coffee shop or to take the bus to the school library. I have to buy my coffee and printing somewhere else. This can cause the coffee shop to lose clients and money to another coffee shop whom might have this types of convenience to its customer. I urge you to think and consider my request for the neighborhood coffee shop, so my time and money can be spent in your store. Sincerely, Francis Smith Your...
