Concept Map

For this assignment I struggled the most with figuring out which topic I wanted to make the center of my concept map. I came up with the idea of doing judgments because it is something that connects to a number of different things such as point of view, things one has experienced etc. I started off with the main things I thought judgments come from and continued to go through the layers that came afterwards. For example, judgements are subconscious and can come from jealousy, it has to do with attitudes and also perceptions. I used color to determine the relationships between the layers of connections that link ideas. The next layer of ideas I labeled red and yellow. Each thought pattern that comes out of each idea is unique to but still has the relationships to each of the corresponding colors.

I was able to link color to relationships and connect them all together in the end. I thought this exercise was really interesting and help me realize the importance of use of color and shape in terms of gaining an understanding of relationships around ideas. Although it started out as a fairly quick exercise, it turned out to be a lesson as to how the brain functions. I was able to visualize this idea I had on paper and communicate what I was seeing through color and shapes.
