Reflection - Mind Mapping Tool    Challenge    I am an international business student and I am also concerned about climate

change. Therefore, I have identified that in my region, particularly a town outside the

city in Colombia, garbage is not properly disposed of, there is indiscriminate cutting

of trees which in turn causes loss of biodiversity. The misuse of natural resources

such as water and land has also been identified, causing landslides in the area. The

challenge is to show, through a mental map, the reason why the inhabitants of the

area are not aware of their impact on the environment.    Selection    One way of showing the data in a creative way is the mind map, a tool that is useful

to relate the important concepts, in which a series of connections can be formed and

the question "what is it?" can be answered, making the inhabitants unaware of the

importance of caring for the environment. This tool would be useful to show

government entities in a clear and creative way the reasons to encourage the

creation of strategies to solve this great problem.    Application    The first thing to do is to collect data. The proposals to be suggested are interviews

to a significant percentage of the population of the place where they can know the

reason for their actions, why they carry out such activities. Then, we will review the

effects, in figures, of the activities that the farmers carry out against the environment

and finally we will describe the customs of the population. Lugo organizes the data,

where the interested parties, in this case, non-profit and government entities, provide

the visions of each of the interviews, then they are classified and in the last part is

the need to train the inhabitants and an effective way to do it.    Insight and approach    After doing this activity I consider that it drastically changes the model of thought in

the sense that it changes the way of finding a consequence. Since it is always done

from a traditional method that becomes ineffective. Considering, for example, that if

a climate change awareness campaign is carried out in a superficial way it would not

cause a real effect because its real consequences are not known.    Moreover, I think that this problem could be done from the visualization because it is

a complex problem and needs to go beyond logic, as images would be more

understandable the causes of the problem and an effective way to project it to the

parties involved.
