IMPLICIT SOCIAL COGNITION

Jon Carroll is a writer of the Chronicle in San Francisco. He wrote a column on April 8, 2005 that helped the concept of  the satirical and humanist concept of Unitarian Jihad emerge. This article unintentionally juxtaposed the principles of Unitarian Universalism with those of the militant Islamic Jihad.

Welcome to Unitarian Jihad! Our religion is Radical Tolerance! We will tolerate nothing less! (unless, of course, by consensus we select another path)

This is a the Unitarian Jihad name generator. Very cool.

Positive Design: An Introduction to Design for Subjective Well-Being

This paper addresses the question of how design can contribute to the happiness of individuals–to their subjective well-being. A framework for positive design is introduced that includes three main components of subjective well-being: pleasure, personal significance and virtue. Each component represents an ingredient of design for happiness, and we propose that design that expressly includes all three ingredients is design that promotes human flourishing. People who flourish are developing as individuals, live their lives to their fullest potential, and act in the best interests of society. The intention to support human flourishing is the explicit, central design objective of positive design. Five characteristics of positive design are proposed, all of which are of relevance to organizing design processes that intend to result in designs that stimulate human flourishing. In addition, some contemporary design approaches are discussed that focus on quality of life, including nudge, capability approach, and experience design. Four important research challenges are outlined to indicate directions for a research agenda. Together with the framework, these research directions are intended to offer inspiration for designers and design researchers to join forces in their endeavours to design for subjective well-being.

Actors change their names I guess to appeal to a wider audience. Could this names have a negative connotation or really sound so bad that they can't be used on their own. Why is that? Why the change of name? and what sort of connotation and relationship to real people do these names have?
