ENGL 2000 Assignment February 6, 2015

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_King_II:_Simba%27s_Pride

Second paragraph of lead could use a bit of work. Original author makes the 2 ideas presented here sound choppy and the part about the Kiara and Simba relationship seems more like it was just tacked on at the last minute. The 2 conflicts are caused by each other in the movie, so the summary should reflect that.

First paragraph of Plot section - "Simba's father Mufasa proudly watches" should be changed to "Simba's father, Mufasa, proudly watches"

Sometimes instead of saying a character's name, the original author says "the lion" which is confusing because almost everyone is a lion.

Second to last paragraph of plot - "The two young lions later find each other and profess their love." The word profess means to falsely claim that you have a feeling, so the author likely confused this word with another, possibly confess. Kamryn86253 (talk) 13:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Approved. Too many plots and too many lions indeed. Josef Horáček (talk) 18:53, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * "Profess" was a good word. No need to replace it. The other edits were more helpful. Josef Horáček (talk) 21:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Color psychology is the study of color as a determinant of human behavior. Color influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors can also work as placebos by having the color of pills be certain colors to influence how a person feels after taking them. For example, red or orange pills are generally used as stimulants. Another way in which colors have been used to influence behavior was, in 2000, when the company Glasgow installed blue street lights in certain neighborhoods which resulted in a reduced crime rate. Color can indeed influence a person, however it is important to remember that these effects differ between people. Factors such as gender, age, and culture can influence how an individual perceives color. For example, males reported that red colored outfits made women seem more attractive, while women answered that the color of a male's outfit did not affect his attractiveness.

Color psychology is also widely used in marketing and branding. Many marketers see color as an important part of marketing because color can be used to influence consumers' emotions and perceptions of goods and services. Companies also use color when deciding on brand logos. These logos seem to attract more customers when the color of the brand logo matches the personality of the goods or services, such as the color pink being heavily used on Victoria's Secret branding. However, colors are not only important for logos and products, but also for window displays in stores. Research shows that warm colors tended to attract spontaneous purchasers, despite cooler colors being more favorable.
 * All the information is here, and it's in the right order, but you need to work on style and grammar. For example, you need to get rid "color does this" in the second sentence. Simply say, "Color influences perceptions..." Also, who or what is "they" in the next sentence? And so on. Josef Horáček (talk) 08:41, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Aside from the remaining problems with style, a good job. Josef Horáček (talk) 04:01, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
