I Will Survive by Cloria Gaynor
18. • First I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
without you by my side
But I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to carry on
19. • and so you're back
from outer space
I just walked in to find you here
with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed my stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me
20. • Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with
goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
21. • Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as i know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

Silly Bandz
Week 1: Very vague idea, concentrate on material of the product. Interesting point but not yet connected to the product. Shame/ self conscious -> breast implant
Video Start at :00:29 Pee on the towel, kids make up excuses. W2: Come back to brainstorm, what makes a child play and adult not. Kids have very little to zero shame The social acceptance allow kids to make mistake. Silly excuse consider to be cute, not a lie.
W3: Karaoke, a form of social media, entertainment. No shame in a selective group.
Video. S Sympathy: see someone has the same ability, put yourself in their shoes. Race does in look, culture. College student does in sharing knowledge, interest and future plan. Man does in Sport.
Video Entertainment and beyond: Group activity, get closer in a given intimate space with people you are selected to be in with. Example of sometimes is not = awkward. In selective group of friends and peers, ppl more relax and feed off each other energy. The sense of safety.
Breast Implant Social Conscious compare oneself to others
Kid Have not develop sense of Shame.
Karaoke Fully develop the sense of community but choose a certain environment to make fool of themselves.
Silly Bandz has the collective of 3 qualities through trading, interact and the general social group does not have any negative impact on the product.
