Synetics - Due Wednesday May 8th

Title: Synetics

Synetics makes the familiar strange and the strange familiar. It is the basis of all metaphor and involves the process of creative problem solving. Each of the following sets of questions ask for choices between unrelated answers, answers which can be logically related somehow and yet,there is no single correct answer. BUT correct answers could rephrase the question as part of the answer.

Think carefully about the choices offered, make a choice,and then explain your reasons for choosing as you have in two sentences. It is your explanation which proves your answer “right” or “wrong.” Answer at least TEN
