8A – Solving The Problem


My personal experience here in the United States, from coming from Europe is, that we waste so much plastic here. Especially in water bottles and forks and knifes. Often times, we just have the small 500ml bottles fine, but this wastes so much more plastic. I remember when I am home, we always ahem 1,5l litre bottles. Here, I drink 3 500ml bottles instead. When In go to the supermarket I always see those big 24 bottles packs with 500ml bottles, and I always ask myself: why not just buy a couple 1,5 litre bottles? The same with fork and knife. I cant understand why the Americans use so much plastic knifes and forks instead of real stainless steel forks and knifes, which are reusable, better for eating and better for the environment because they are nit out of plastic. 
So, my idea is that restaurants should offer steel forks and knifes because it’s just better for eating, cheaper over the time because you can reuse them for years, you only have to wash them. And if we are all honest, it’s just a way better feeling that eating with plastic. I personally hate it to eat with plastic, and I think that this could also improve the quality and service of a lot of restaurants. About the plastic bottles, I think if a lot of companies would fill their water in bigger bottles it would be better for the environment because we use less plastic and it would be better for the consumer because they would have less trash because they would only throw away 1 bottle instead of 3. It’s also easier to drink because you don’t have to open a new bottle after 3 sips.

I know those are not very big things, but they annoy me a lot sometimes, and I think I’m not the only person that thinks like that.

21A – Reading Reflection No. 2

I read the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck 1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? The general theme of the book is about success is all portions of life. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? The book in my opinion definitely connects with what we are learning in this class. It talks a lot about what it takes to be successful and what successful people do. 3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve? That exercise would involve just spending time alone in your room with no social media around and just thinking about yourself and who you are. 4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations? I personally have read other self improvement books before and I really enjoy them as I find them real...

29A Venture Concept No.2

  Venture Concept My opportunity belief for this class involves an application that helps the costumer with the parking on UF campus.    The opportunity such as the group of concepts I will be mainly targeting students at the University of Florida. Other groups to target would be people who park on campus who aren't students, like teachers or workers. Typically students have the need of not finding parking spots or don’t know where to park with their decal of their car or scooter. A lot of TAs are on campus and give out tickets. Nobody wants a ticket. These people that need my opportunity idea are the ones who: Want to park their vehicles on the UF campus  Can't find the right parking lot on campus   Don't know in which parking lots how many spots are available  Don't want to get tickets because of wrong parking   Don't want to walk because they parked too far from class The nature of this need is not too high but it has ...

6A – Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

1   An Algorithm That Grants Freedom, or Takes It Away A) https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/predictive-algorithms-crime.html B) The article explains the case of a 30 year old man who had deemed as a “high risk” after he got released from jail in 2018. The reason he is a high risk is because a computer algorithm gave him that status   C) The costumers are the people that get classified by that algorithms, wether it’s fair or not D) This is very difficult because the decisions are made by a computer, not a psychologist who sees them in person. I think a computer can’t decide who is a high risk or low risk for the society, based on the system predicted.   2 Uber Posts Faster Growth, but Loses $1.1 Billion https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/06/technology/uber-growth-losses.html The article reveals some of the numbers Uber made this year compared to last year.
