Mind Mapping: Associates Mindmapping

Associates Mindmapping is different than Logical Mindmapping. Associates Mindmapping can make people more creative in terms of their thinking and ideation. Associates Mindmapping will link the main subject to a entire new idea that are totally not connected to stereotypes and might be not logical.

For example, in class my lecturer want us to link Mortar and Pestle with a few subjects that is totally not related. Among the subjects I chose Power, Hair/Fashion, and Devil.

POWER
People use the mortar and pestle to choose their leader. Whoever is able to break the mortar by using the pestle is believed to have special power and will be elected to become the leader of the community.

HAIR/FASHION
Girls or even some boys are using the mortar and pestle as the accessories on their hair. This is the latest fashion that favor by most of the teenagers. They put the mortar on their head and use it like a hat, and curl their hair with the pestle.

DEVIL
Some people use the mortar and pestle to kill or chase the devil away. In their religion, they believe that by using the mortar to trap the devil in it and the pestle to hit on the floor around the mortar will send the devil back to hell.

This is how I link these unrelated subjects with mortar and pestle. And this is how a Associates Mindmapping works.
