Reflections on our final presentation

Hello,

Now that we've finished our presentation, we would like to reflect on ways we can improve the presentation and NPO itself from the feedback we got from classmates. 

Ways to improve our presentations

Question asked: Write a few ways that you think the presentation could have been improved

- using datasheets that are clear and visible

- more survey results

- explain more specific about why animal rights should be focused

- engages the male audience

- show the NPO name more clearly

- more detailed information about fur using products sold in Japan

- ask questions to the audience

These were the feedbacks we got from 11 people. As you can see, our main issue was not containing enough information in our presentations. We do agree that we didn't show our NPO name clearly and it was only said on the first slide and a couple of times during the presentation. When we told the meaning of our NPO, we could've also explained more about why animal rights should be focused on. 

The next section is the engaging part. Since this topic was cosmetics, we didn't engage the male audiences enough. In our last conclusion part, we asked "how would you feel if your pet was suffering for your cosmetics?" but instead, we could have asked at the beginning of the presentation, "Who here have pets?" or "Who uses sunscreen?" "Who here cleanse their face?" Because then, it would matter to everyone more than makeup. 

The last section is on data and survey results. We realized that compared to other groups, our survey results were very short. Therefore, we could have brought our more answers to our survey. In addition, when we talked about the use of fur products and how our NPO will create fur-free makeup brush, we could talk about brands and products sold in japan that uses fur. This will be done by bringing data that will attract more attention from the audience on how shocking the number of fur products exists.  

Ways to improve our NPO

Question asked: What advice would you give the presenter for twerking the plan for the NPO to make it even better?

- product example

- what exactly can the NPO do right now

- more ways to recruit

- more ideas for cosmetic products

- "If the prices are cheap or relatively affordable, then I would consider buying cruelty-free products."

- a variety would matter so it would be important to have different colors and the samples are meant for different skin types

- target products for men 

Firstly, we would like to improve on our products. As we said above, we think our target was more focused on females so we would like to target products for men such as sunscreen or cleansing balm. When we introduced our products, we only talked and there were no images. Therefore, drawing out the images of our product or sample of cruelty-free products would've made our audience have clear images. Another feedback that made us realize was creating products for different skin types. We all have different skin types; normal, dry, oily, combination )both oily and dry skin), and sensitive. On top of that, we have different shades. We must make sure that our product can be used by any gender, skin type, and skin color which will give our NPO further validity from customers. 

Secondly, we need more ways to recruit. A beauty influencer's event, a flyer with samples, and Instagram were not enough. 

Lastly, what exactly can the NPO do right now. To create our products, would cost a lot and we don't have enough money. Therefore, we would like to create our unique posters for right now and post as much information on our Instagram. 

Thank you for listening to our presentation! The feedback we got was very helpful and we hope to get more suggestions in the comment section below :)

Answers to research questions [Part 1]

The blog entry will answer Q1, Q8, and Q11 of our 30 questions. Q1 What are animal rights? Q8 What is Japan’s law to protect animal rights? Q11 Which countries are strict about animal rights? [ Animal Rights ] Animal rights is the philosophy according to which many or all sentient animals have moral worth that is independent of their utility for humans, and that their most basic interests—such as in avoiding suffering—should be afforded the same consideration as similar interests of human beings. Advocates for animal rights oppose the assignment of moral value and fundamental protections on the basis of species membership alone—an idea known as speciesism since 1970, when Richard D. Ryder adopted the term —arguing that it is a prejudice as irrational as any other. They maintain that animals should no longer be viewed as property or used as food, clothing, research subjects, entertainment, or beasts of burden. Multiple cultural traditions around the world such as Jainism, Taois

Cosmetics Without Animals

イメージ
In the last post, we briefly introduced our NPO. So today, we would like to give you more in detail.  Concrete ways that our NPO tries to achieve its goal; a society where no animals are tested for cosmetics.  We have 6 ways in our minds. First, we want to create posters and flyers where we would spread information on the reality of how cruel animal testing is and introduce some of the cosmetic companies that don't test on animals. We thought that just by giving out flyers in the city, they would end up in the garbage. Therefore, we would like to give out samples of cruelty-free makeup from the companies that don't test on animals with which our NPO collaborates. We would also like to use Instagram and host events with Beauty Influencers so that they can reach more people by posting or promoting our NPO. Creating our NPO merch was another idea but instead of tee shirts or pens, we will make fur-free makeup brushes.  How are we different from other NPO? - We want to use Instagra

This blog entry will answer Q9, 12, 13, 18, and 30 of our 30 questions.  Q9: Are zoos or aquariums cruel to animals? Q12: Do pet shops have the right to sell animals? Q13: What do pet shops do with animals they don't sell? Q18: Are Zoos and Aquarium necessary? Q30: Are circuses, okay? [Zoos, Aquariums, Circuses] We've all probably been to zoos or aquariums or watched a circus once in our life. But as we get older and see news on animals in those places, you start to wonder if animals there are treated right.  The article discussed the cruel treatment in top zoos and aquariums. Wild animals are being abused and forced to suffer in some of the world's top zoos. And in these 12 irresponsible zoos and many others globally, what people aka family consider enjoyable is the opposite of animals.  The research study focused on big cats in gladiator-style shows, dolphins being used like surfboards, and elephants playing basketball which all require cruel training by humans.
