I get confuse with terms like green design, design thinking, experience design etc. Are they fads of design world or do they really differs from just design? If so then what is design?
Do we serve people or consumers? Whom do we prioritize people or their environment? Do we construct products or we design experience? Do we design experiences or do we design consequences?
Why today human sciences have more importance than technologies? Are we simplifying market, and then society, people and reaching then life ultimately.
Many such questions which I need to understand and then to look for their answers. I believe such answers will come with experiences rather than inquiries. If a same design could have two opinions then does that mean the core of design differs as per the eyes!
I got a new perspective on business after having the golden words of Micheal Wolff which were, if people are still hungry, below poverty line, still struggling for their basics, then we still lack in our business.
The definition of business is always profit but guess the problem is with the definition of profit.

missed an important set... " The Client " or who is directly paying us.
They are greedy or wanted to make profit. That makes all loop holes of product positioning, where ever they can just interfere to utilize each and every particle in a society.This defines the initial design brief, all other design steps are just dramas to make more profits or to fool around each other. but unfortunately we cant blame anybody, becz these " the Clients (tata, mahindra, apple etc.)" chose it as their proffesion or way for their bred(but in their own standards). everybody wants to leave, and current social system works in compitition. ( lord krishna told arjun, its not way but result is important ) But very interestingly modern design education teach us " ITS THE WAY (PROCESS) IMPORTANT THAN RESULT(FINAL PRODUCT)
haaaaahaaaa.....
i have a JUSTIFICATION...!!
DESIGNERS ARE THE HYPER CREATIVE PEOPLE, THEY ARE CREATERS, JUST LIKE GOD... OR AVATARS OF GOD ( Just like Sri krishna for Maha Vishnu )
They create things... jus because they feel like gods.
