Day 109 Winter Queen Debut

5.30am

I decided not to think about the tutorial yesterday and I just pretend for a few days it didn’t n even happen. I can always get back to the notes in about a week time once the thesis in a good shape and go from there what I physically have time left to change. I really need to concentrate on the positives now.

Quote for the day: `Some people are so focused on goals and achievements they don’t even realise if you drop that next to them.’

I was so tired all day, I couldn`t even have a proper conversation. Kerst`s debut went really well. All the free of us, who took part in making the video got interviewed and I had the dress on a mannequin while I talked about it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxGfhR8bFHM).

Small contribution towards Literature review:

`A central tenet of industrial capitalism is growth, but nothing can grow for ever, and we now seem to be reaching the limits of growth – at least in terms of the types of growth we have valued over the past century.’ Page 73 13 - Confronting Global Collapse, Envisioning a Sustainable Future, McClelland and Stewart Inc What is the new type of growth the 21st century has for the balance between humans and their habitat the earth? What is the new type of growth century has for fashion? Is it still based on economic growth or well-being?

However, in general terms, sustainable development addresses there interrelated areas: environmental stewardship, social equity and justice, and economic issues. (page16)

Within the current system the dominant measure of success is financial profit, with little else of comparable importance, than change is slow and it is difficult to stray too far from convention. Marvin Harris, the Rise of Anthropological Theory (1968) However, ‘The creative economy has the potential to generate income and jobs while promoting social inclusion, cultural diversity and human development’ (UNCTAD).
