Summary for Real World Project

For this project, I went to Petsmart. For the business, I was asked by one of the managers to survey the people in the store based on if they have used the Banfield Pet hospital located in Petsmart. I asked them if they have used it before. If they said yes, then I asked them if they liked the service. If they said no, I asked them if they would consider it. The best part of the project was learning new things and getting out of my comfort zone and using confidence. The most difficult was talking to the manager and the customers. The part of the project I am most proud about, is getting out of my comfort zone and having to have confidence to communicate with others. From the project, I learned how to talk to people and not be afraid to ask and I learned how to organize a business report for the company. The skill I believe I most developed from this project was confidence.

Copyright Review

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/small-business/openforum/articles/sharing-vs-stealing-5-myths-and-legal-truths-about-online-copyrights/

In this website it basically talks about five things that are myths about copyright.  First myth is that it is on the Internet so everyone can use it. This is false. The second myth is no copyright notice? then its not copyright. This is false. It can still be copyrighted material. Third, you cant copyright words. This is also false. If you make them you can make them copyrighted. Myth four, is that if they didn't want it shared they shouldn't have posted it. This is false because if other people get a hold of it somehow they could share it and then it would be breaking copyright rules. It still means that it is copyrighted. Myth 5 is that you didn't know it was copyrighted, so you cant get in trouble. You can still get in trouble because you broke the law. These are all myths, so be careful of what you "use."

Ice Cream Survey Summary and Recommendations

 Summary

83 total people were surveyed on which ice cream they preferred. The ice creams used in the survey were mint chocolate chip, cookie dough, and rocky road. More students picked cookie dough than the other two. Lots of people like cookie dough and not very many people like rocky road. The general reaction to the images was, "Cookie Dough." I asked them which they preferred and from most people I got an immediate Cookie Dough or Mint Chocolate Chip. Lots of people couldn't decide whether they wanted Mint Chocolate Chip or Cookie Dough. After that most people realized they liked Mint Chocolate Chip better.

Recommendation 
I would recommend Cookie Dough as the most loved ice cream between the three ice creams surveyed. If we were to sell ice cream, I would suggest Cookie Dough. The image I would use would be (below). This is the image I would use because it was the one used on the survey and Cookie Dough was the ice cream most loved of the three.
