The science-based article that I chose is called “Navigating our Thoughts: Fundamental Principles of Thinking.” I chose this article because it describes the inner workings of the brain. It talked about how we have mental maps that we arrange our experiences in. We prioritize what is most important or meaningful in places that we will vividly remember it and things that are not as important in different places. I think that this correlates with beauty because we prioritize what we find most beautiful and memorable in a different spot than we do with other things. For the next writing assignment, I plan on using two podcasts. The two are Tehya Casey’s and Emily Dupler’s. I chose these two because both of the interviews gave me very descriptive views of beauty. I loved listening to both podcasts and different perspectives that I gained from listening to them. Some of the stuff that was said in the interviews has stuck with me and I believe that this will help me to write this final essay. I liked how the two interviews both talked about similar things. They both relate to water and their views on it. The people talking do have different perspectives with it and I find it very interesting and something exciting to write about.
