advantage on businesses for the sales and profits of their own. As I have stated before, that
imaging is a huge part of capitalism. The article has stated facts of many uses for colors and how
it fits into our lives without us knowing how we are being psychologically changed by
environment.
These two articles are summarizing the main point of how our environments affect us in
our everyday lives with behaviours and decision making.Mirrors have the same effect and are
arguably even more powerful, because they compel us to peer, metaphorically, into our own
souls (Alter). colors and branding will tell you that it's far more important for your brand's
colors to support the personality you want to portray instead of trying to align with stereotypical
color associations (Ciotti). You can see that the human reaction towards an environment is also
effective, but it can also interfere with ones personal identity and traits. You can see that in
Ecology of a Cracker Childhood by Janisse Ray, as she has explained in her book. When I went
off to college I struggled bitterly to lose my identity (Ray 31). It was hard for her to cope
with changing areas because the junkyard raised and she also states If you stay in one place too
long, you know youll root (Ray 69).
In our past novels, there has been relation with the effects of an environment and has
even affected the plot of the characters story. In our current novel Ecology of a Cracker
Childhood by Janisse Ray, Janisse explains her story of how her home state Georgia is full of
such beautiful nature that she admires and learns to accept that her states nature is a part of her
life and will always be around her. In Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the setting shows
how these lost boys are stranded in an island giving them the emotional discharge of cabin fever
and causing the boys to go wild because of the isolation and haunting viewing of their
surroundings. The lost boys would chant, "Kill the pig! Cut her throat! Spill her blood!" which
showed the obvious character development from their environment just like Janisse. In Animal
Farm by George Orwell, the pigs become more corruptive because of their lack of discipline and
care from humans which shifts the environment of the animals to depend on the pigs. ALL
ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
stated the shifted rules that changed just as the pigs did, because of their environment. In
Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, Janisse shows the same change of character as the last two
novels, merely because of the way their environment was conditioned. What I come from has
made me who I am (Ray 33).
Personally, this is a great research to process from and learn about, especially when
youre visualizing how all the details from the places you go to daily and places you visit every
once in a while affect your decisions and behavior. You never know how your environment can
be based off from religious views, geographic areas, and social areas. A visual of someones
environment is also effective of ones attitude. It could slowly put you in a positive or in a
negative mood. There is a beautiful touch of aesthetics for environments that can greatly affect
the way a person thinks.
As it can be seen, the statements have factually told that our personas and decision
making can truly be chosen by the sighting of ones environment and the environments details.
It can change the way we see ourselves, the way we act, the way we think, and the way we feel.
This element is a method of possibly manipulating how we react to things, since it shows that
clearly in the industry of capitalism. The subconscious is not always changed by colors, but when
they are they create ways on how our actions will be done. An environment is made up of many
things that can create a social, political, and religious change to someones views, so the details
we see everyday might be there for the opportunity for us to change for the good or better.
