Remove Murals from Gym
In the earliest years of our university, large murals representing scenes of student life were painted on the walls of the gymnasium. These large paintings are very old and need repair. The colors have faded and the details are difficult to see. Because of their large size, it might cost a lot to have them professionally restored. I think it would make more financial sense for the university to remove the murals by covering them over with fresh, white paint. Additionally, the murals are old-fashioned and look out of place. They no longer fit in with the modern look of the gym or represent today’s students.

The Focusing Illusion
Various factors of people’s work and life situations can have an effect on their overall satisfaction in life. However, when considering their level of satisfaction in life, people may not realize that they may sometimes focus on and exaggerate the importance of only one particular factor that makes them happy or unhappy, while ignoring others. This phenomenon is known as the focusing illusion, since it causes people to believe in the illusion that just one factor in their life is responsible for their happiness or unhappiness. This can lead people to make bad decisions.
Explain how the example from the professor’s lecture illustrates the concept of The Focusing Illusion.
