Agenda:
· Keeping the advisor on track with team’s progress
· Guidance from advisor in order to continue on right track
· Things to work out for next week’s meeting

Previous meeting (18th Oct 2009) our team discuss on what the issues that we were thinking of doing. Issues thought of were:

· Social Responsibility

· Environment after smoking

· 3rd hand smoking

We also generated ideas that what we were going to do as our installation but it contained much flaws so we decided to give the idea a 2nd thought. After discussing with Rawzah we finally get a clearer in what we are doing and slowed down our process and look at the issues once again. Key points to take note:

· 3 issues were too much to handle

· What, Why and Who is the question we need to solve when we pick our issues

· Paper work 1st before going to creative process. Easier to work this way.

After getting notes from dearest advisor we move on to discuss on our own. We have decided to create a survey to ask smokers around Singapore about their attitudes towards smoking, as all the members in the team do not smoke, we that it is a need as we need to know how smokers think. Therefore, this is a task we set ourselves to complete for this week.

The survey questions were:

Age:
Gender:
When do you start smoking?

1. Why do you smoke?
2. What do you think of smoking?
3. Would you smoke in front of your friends (who do not smoke)?
4. What do you think of 2nd hand smoking?
5. Do you care about 2nd hand smoking?
6. Have you ever heard about 3rd hand smoking?
7. Do you flick your ashes or throw your cigarette butt on the floor?
8. Do you call yourself a responsible smoker?
9. How many cigarettes do you smoke a day?

These questions were chosen because it is of relevance to what our team’s issues. Therefore we find that it would be crucial for us to find out how smokers think. We have set out with 10 surveys each, a total of 30.
