Thesis Statement

The Celebration of Life is a yearly festival to rejoice in nature and the abundance of life on Earth. Every year, a pine tree is cut down, and each part of the tree is used for a different phase of the celebration. One part of the ritual is making and sharing pine needle tea. Each family has a tea set that is passed down from the older generations and contains a knife, tea cup, and hand embroidered tea bag. Through a process of gathering pine needles and boiling water, the tea is made in a traditional way, that helps the people feel closer to nature.

This world is raised above the impoverished overpopulated and polluted city and sits just above the cloud line. In view of that fact, the sun rays above the cloud line are so harsh the people living in the flower towers must wear hats to protect themselves. Only the most lavish people live in the flower towers, so we created a street fashion hat line to help these people protect themselves in style.

Thesis Statement

In this world, a mask is a representation of who you are. Your job is decided at birth, and you are trained such that your personality is stripped away and you become your job. Every day, people are moved around in housing to squash revolution. The coal miner mask is chosen due to the history of coal mining being an unsafe job, the random assignment of jobs is an allegory for the uncontrollable life situations leading someone to work in a job that harms them, and the personality being stripped away parallels the idea in the real world that individuality does not exist in jobs.

Thesis Statement

In a utopian future, science has eliminated all suffering in the world, leaving citizens to live in constant bliss. By living in a perfect state of satisfaction, people lose the ability to properly engage with their emotions without the aid of special drugs developed to create temporary states of emotions in users. Our product is a tool developed by commercial enterprises to dispense these drugs to citizens.

How will a future in turn shape our object?

What does our object say about that future?

The Object is a marvel in both science and technology. Combining both in order to give an experience to the user. Since this object is giving off an emotion usually considered negative it would mean that the world around is it mostly positive.

They would of existed for a time but would of changed thanks to the innovations in technology and science revealing that they accomplish more by working together.

Since the world is positive people no longer feel emotions that humans face on a daily basis. Once you lose these emotions you lose what makes you human. If you aren't human what are you? a robot. The same as the machine.

The robot is a mechanism to not lose your emotions. meaning that the future must be a world where humans no longer feel it. So that world must be revolutionary.

Thesis Statement

In the world that we've created, there is direct class separation between the rich and the poor, as the poor live beneath the rich and fund their expenditures. Since the rich live so high up in the atmosphere, they block out most sunlight, and the poor don't have enough money for electricity. The product we designed is a radioactive light that the poor would use as their main light source. The light would be held on the hand or as a necklace, to easily bring it around as well as keep it safe. It would also have a storage space at their houses to hold the light and amplify it while at home.
