Journal Blog #5: What is your area of interest?

We're looking towards the end of the course. In these last 4 weeks, we are writing for a reader. We are narrowing down to an interesting and academic topic that we will research, support, and communicate. The narrowing process is the first, and really the most crucial step. It is this step where you work to understand a particular situation that comes from a particular subject that comes from a particular field or area.

Let's start making the first baby steps. We are all starting from the same place: Innovation and/or Inspiration. The next step is to identify a field or area of interest that you can link to the theme. It may be your major, or it may be another area that we have read about this term. There are no rules at this step. You can go wherever you want, but every step after this must follow from here.

In this journal blog, please explain your area of interest and why. Include your ID# and Section # in your post. Aj. M

    If I choose one of interesting areas, I prefer to write about scientific. Science is often amazing, mysterious, and rational. It has been proving all time until now, so every step that I plan or write is reasonable and depending on truth. Also, I can narrow story down as much as possible since lots of information is about science. Undoubtedly, scientific stories attract me to read or listen and inspire me to wonder perception about a new discovery.

    I am always interested in finance especially about investment. Everyone wants to be rich, including me. I want to have enough money to help donate to help improve Thailand’s education, and to reach that dreams I have to know more about analytical techniques so that I can decrease the unnecessary risks that I have to take. One of the reasons why I choose investment is because investment can spread of risk and there is also a sense of ownership in every investment you do.

    My area of interest would be something that is related and similar to my major which is Hospitality and Management. I feel that Management and how to look after or deal with different people are something really complicated and challenging. Because understanding people are hard to understand as well as dealing with, so i feel really interesting and passionate about it. There are many more topic for me to write about according to this area, thus i really appreciate to do some research or do a survey about the topic that is fit to this specific areas.

    The area that I am really interested in is science. Although it is not my major, not only me but also everyone are surrounded by this area. Personally, science is the suspicious and mysterious questions that make us try to find the answers. Also, despite many efforts, there are rational answers in every question. And every answer can be the powerful thing that can change our mind, our lives and our world. This is the reason why I choose this area, and it can attract and hook me to seek for.

    My field of interest that is related to the tooic about innovation or inspiration is my major, Finance. Finance is all about how to manage or invest your money efficiently and get the highest profits with less loss as possible. Most of the people who study finance are investors in stock market, so they can reduce the risks that they are going to deal with as less as possible. Stock market is also my subject that I want to study because it is complicated and contains risks and profits. What the investors are going to get each depends on how well they can manage their finance.

    My area of interest is linked in the field of development, and I will prefer to do about food development.Food is the most initial important factor for everyone in this world and no one can survive without food. In my point of view, this is the topic that is really related to everyone, so it's gonna be useful to every field not only for any specific field of knowledge. Moreover, I really enjoy eating,and love to try any new food all the time. Therefore, I'm quite sure that doing the essay in the field of what I love will be perfectly fine.

    My area of interest is in the tourism and religious field. For 'tourism' I would talk about eco-tourism in Thailand where the industry is effected by the political movement. Thus leads to the risk of economic collapse in the eco-tourism industry. For 'religious' the issue about the war in the middle-east would be discussed. The situation is that the conflict between two religious and created the gap for terrorists to inflict the war between nations. Therefore, the main point here is the intrude and spread of false believe of religious.

    1. For ecotourism, you need to choose a particular environmental issue that is threatened by tourism. For religion, you may research what "inspires" many to join extreme religious groups that use violence.

    My area of interest is associated in the field of applied science, it is cosmetology. I personally like to use many kinds of cosmetics and skin cares however, I heard that organic make up is a lot better to your skin and your body than chemical-base makeup because 60% of the products we use on our skin will get absorbed into our body. Therefore, I want to know more about the advantages of organic makeup. I prefer to focus my essay in the area that I'm particularly interested in and I think this essay would be a useful information for many women.

To narrow down for what would I like to talk in "tourism area", I will specify on "Culinary Tourism" or "Food Tourism". What is food tourism is hard to define precisely , but what is more harder is to think that --How this trend has made lot of foreigners to go in one country-- What can attractive them. The mystery of Food that has cached thousand tourists has inspired me want to know about it more.

    The area that I am alway interested is Science. This field of study allows people to explore the mystery of science with curiosity and questioning. I have decided to study in Food Science Major, I found that this branch of science is getting more and more fascinated. It seems to be complicated, but most of the informations might help the people in daily life and improve knowledge. For example, Food-Science students probably know which chemical substances would be edible and safe. Consequently, there are essential details and can simplify the understanding of food and chemical.
