Major Project Proposal

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Think about a topic


My first step in approaching this module was to think of a topic I'm interested in exploring. Recently I've been reading a lot about the 5 love languages. Love languages are used by people to express how they love and how they want to be loved. I found it interesting knowing about my close friend's love languages because it allows me to connect deeper with them by showing love and care in the way that's most meaningful to them.

Step 2: Research

My next step was to research more about the topic. This allowed me to discover sub-topics I can discuss such as:
  • The impact of childhood experiences on love languages
Can our experiences as children shape the way we express and receive love as adults? 
  • Love languages and conflict resolution
How can understanding your partner's love language help you navigate disagreements and conflicts in a healthy way?
  • Different love languages in different cultures
Do different cultures have different ways of expressing love
  • Love languages and self-love
How can understanding and embracing your own love language help you develop a better sense of self-love and self-acceptance?

How to have a conversation & connect:

  • Active Listening: 
Involves paying attention to what the other person is saying, asking questions, and demonstrating empathy. To be present in the moment and avoid distractions that could interfere with the conversation.
  • Shared Experiences:
Involves participating in activities together, sharing stories or finding common interests to bond over.
  • Vulnerability:
Involves sharing personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment. This can help build trust and deepen the emotional connection between individuals.


Step 3: Brainstorm

I gathered keywords taken from my research and tried connecting the words to find common ground between them:
  • Ask questions
  • Be in the moment
  • Share stories
  • Empathy
  • Participating
  • Common interests
  • Be personal
  • Non-judgemental
  • Trust
From there I was inspired by the card game "we aren't really strangers" & "So Cards". A game which encourages people to break the ice by asking questions to one another, to make conversation.

Card game: Real-life participation > Communication > Connection



Output Proposal

Output: Card Game
