Some products are so common and in-demand that they seem to be available almost everywhere — gas stations, grocery stores, convenience shops, you name it. These kinds of items usually follow what’s called an intensive distribution strategy — the idea being that no one should have to go far to find them.   Think about products that fit this approach. What kinds of items really need to be available everywhere to be successful? What makes them a good fit for this kind of strategy?   Also, consider a specific product that always seems to be on hand wherever shopping happens — something people don’t want to go out of their way to find. How does that constant availability shape how people feel about the brand? Does it build loyalty, or is it more about convenience?
Some people see art as a reflection of reality — like a mirror that shows something true about human nature. Others think art goes deeper, not just reflecting the world but helping us make sense of it or even transform how we see ourselves. Philosophers like Plato and Aristotle had one way of thinking about this, while others like Nietzsche and Heidegger saw art as something more emotional or revealing.   Think of a piece of art — maybe a movie, book, song, or painting — that really resonated. Did it feel like it captured something real or universal about life? Or did it challenge old ideas and open up something new or unexpected?   It’s also interesting to think about how art connects to truth. Does it just imitate what already exists, or can it reveal things that logic and science can’t? Does it bring comfort or help process emotion, like Aristotle’s idea of catharsis? Or does it shake things up, like in more postmodern or philosophical ways of thinking?
Start by identifying a belief that feels true — something that seems reliable or meaningful in everyday life. Then consider what kind of reasoning or experience supports that belief.   If the belief is grounded in observation or sensory experience (like being awake), it may relate to empiricism or the correspondence theory of truth. If the belief fits within a structured system, such as mathematics or logic, Cartesian rationalism or the coherence theory might offer support. For beliefs that aren’t easily proven through evidence or logic, perspectives like deconstruction, pragmatism, or the Ewe Creativity approach may offer insight.   Consider how this belief connects to one or more of these ideas about truth, and how that connection helps clarify why the belief makes sense.
