Money is a universal medium that truly does make the word function on a daily basis. In specific, my concept map is based on the use of money used within corporations, and how it contributes to consumerism, which is dominant within the 21st century. It begins with labour, status, and power because I believe these are the three most important areas money is channeled through – they all need each other, one cannot exist without the other. The color scheme is green, to represent the underlying theme of money. There are several sizes of circles used within the map, as well as different shades of greens. The larger circles represent the main/primary sectors that money is funneled through following the second sector represented by the smaller circle, and so forth. Circles were used as the primary shapes because it symbolizes the shape of coins. There are also characters found within the concept map signified by the pentagon shapes. They used this shape because they are professionals, and are placed within the rigid structural hold of money and corporations. The overall look of the map was created to denote the flow of the corporate world, as the map is based on this concept. It carries the feel of corporate maps/graphs used at business meetings. Additionally, it uses the shape of both a mall or a commercial business because that is primarily where the flow of money is directed within the map. The lines used to connect each source are linear and not curved because represents the feel of large, powerful companies: a structured, rule-following, organized environment.
