I would choose to give up my sense of smell. This seems like the most sensible choice to me as it is far less traumatic than the sudden loss of eyesight or hearing. While all five senses are typically vital to survival, domesticated species and humans can typically survive losing a sense without any serious repercussions. We even have the ability to improve certain senses that are not up to par, such as eyesight. Anosmia – the medical term for loss of smell – is commonly associated with…

Perception has an extraordinary impact on consumer behavior. The way a consumer perceives a company or brand can determine whether or not they decide to make a purchase. According to our text, in the context of consumer behavior, perception is “the process of determining the properties of stimuli using vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch” (Hoyer, Pieters, & MacInnis, 2013). Through sensory marketing, companies aim to positively influence the perception of their consumers. Each sensory…

The Unique Coach Purse Almost every girl has a purse that, one way or another, captures and impersonates a girl in a particular way. Some purses are grand, while others are petite. Nonetheless, every purse has the exact compatible purpose of holding items a girl needs to bring along with her, wherever she may travel. However, the Coach purse happens to be a unique purse because of its look, size, and smell. The exterior is made out of a very smooth, black leather material, extremely similar…

Fortunato had never truly disappeared from his thoughts; he was always niggling in the back of his brain like the rat he had been in life. Nevertheless, he can’t quite pinpoint what it was about today that made Montresor set his mind on descending into the catacombs. It had been exactly two weeks, true, but this was not a noteworthy anniversary. Perhaps if two years had passed then the visit would be worthwhile or significant, but this visit could almost be called, from an outsider’s perspective…

Many people believe that human reality and experiences are the direct outcome of people’s senses and people’s reality and personal experiences are created that base on the reactions with surrounding’s stimulates. However, the production of people’s reality and personal experiences is a very complicated process, the surrounding’s stimulates are just part of it. In “The Mind’s Eye: What The Blind See” Oliver Sacks talks about the different characteristics that the blind people have and he points…

I woke up to the irritating ring of my alarm, the smell of French toast lingering through the air, and the feeling of a spider crawling up my arm. It started out like any other day, but little did I know that this day was going to be a day to remember. I woke up early that day so that I could get revenge on my sisters and make them feel an icy cold shower while I felt the heat of a hot shower. The shower, however, was freezing because my sisters had the same idea as me. The shower that day was…

“Drink Me” did not taste anything like cherry tarts, custard, and the like all mixed into one. Or maybe it did and those foods just don’t actually go together. Estelle, too full of excitement to notice, downed the whole bottle in only a few seconds; granted it wasn’t a very big bottle, but it was still quite impressive. As the last drop entered her mouth, the rancid liquid had begun to sink into her system, irking her taste buds. The moment she could taste it, she dry-heaved. Bile sat in her…

WHAT SENSE WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO LOSE IF YOU HAD TO LOSE ONE? WHICH SENSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE MUCH STRONGER? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWERS. Of course I would not want to lose any of my senses, but if I had the choice of which one to lose I would pick the sense of smell. There are so many beautiful things in the world to see and hear, that I would not want to lose the ability to do so. The loss of smell can be partial (hyposmia) or (anosmia) which is complete loss (Mayo Clinic, 2017). There are many…
