In a search for my (hot) urgent topics I have collected several topics that all appeal to me, some are closer to myself than others. But I find them all equally interesting. As a next step I want to try to link the topics within mind map (1) with each other so that the choice becomes easier.

FINDING TOPIC

The answers are pretty sad. From walking alone to wearing whatever they wanted, their comments show how much girls have to police and diminish themselves in order to stay safe in a world full of men.

A user on TikTok created a video captioned: “This one’s for the girls…what would you do if there were no men on Earth for 24 hours?” and the comments were flooded with women sharing what they would do if this was a possibility.

Most women and girls have experienced some form of street harassment, and in many cases this behaviour goes unreported.
But what exactly do we mean when we talk about harassment?

Audio?

Nowadays everyone wears them, earplugs. They come in different sizes, colors, and designs. We tend to shut ourselves off from the rest of the world and disappear into a playlist or podcast. But what if we turn this idea of life around? And use audio as a medium to create a feeling of belonging?If you search online for this question, you will get different terms, on Wikipedia it says: “an audio signal is a signal that contains information for the audible frequency range. The word audio is Latin and literally means I hear (from audire = to hear).

In the article “the impact of audio” they describe audio in 3 elements.

Voice-overs: This is a voice that provides commentary in a movie outside of the screen.
Sound effects and background sounds that provide the ambiance;
The music composition that you hear while looking at the image. Preferably, it is specially made for the visualization.

The impact of audio, music and sound determine the effect of visualisations up to 60%.
If you watch a Jaws or a James Bond movie with the sound off, the stimuli will come in less strongly. That is the effect that music and sound effects have on the experience. It is an essential part of an experience.
