    uniE621 Beware of Ideas
    Ideology is a set of opinions and a system of ideas that organizes the goals, expectations, and actions of a group or individual. The main purpose of ideology is to propose changes in society or to adhere to an existing set of beliefs that aim to achieve an 'ideal' world structure. However, what was initially a 'theoretical' and 'abstract' science has become a tool for systems that encourage oppression, exploitation, and violence, justified by the pursuit of 'freedom.' Ideology has an unstable, hybrid structure and cannot be criticized, as it allows no 'neutral position.' It is often hostile to the concept of humans as individuals, with ideologues convinced that they know the solutions to all problems across all times. The practical application of ideology has resulted in the emergence of propaganda, primarily in politics. The influence of propaganda has led to the creation of international conflicts, some of which continue today. This work presents the three main dangers and techniques of ideology: brainwashing, or the reformation of thinking; alienation, or the division of society into ideological groups; and the spread of ideology, or the broader dissemination of beliefs. In times of rapid technological advancement, it becomes increasingly difficult for people to detect ideology's impact on society, but we must remain vigilant and develop our awareness to safeguard both our present and future from the consequences of ideological thinking.
    uniE621 Hardened&United
    Hardened and United is a charity platform and community project dedicated to supporting Ukrainian refugees who experience isolation, mental health challenges, and the need for solidarity. Born from my own journey as a Ukrainian refugee and a desire to express pride and love for my homeland, this project combines custom merchandise with an online platform to help displaced Ukrainians build supportive communities abroad. My research covered the mental health impact of war on refugees, the role of national identity and patriotism, and the significance of traditional Ukrainian symbols like the vyshyvanka, which I adapted into the visual theme. The design centers on a pixelated embroidery effect, using symbols like the trident and other cultural icons to represent unity and resilience. This unique visual identity extends to merchandise, allowing supporters to showcase their pride for Ukraine while financially aiding Ukrainian causes. The platform includes features for event information, services by and for Ukrainians, and donation options, fostering mutual support. Additionally, the website is available in both Ukrainian and English, making it accessible not only to Ukrainians but also to anyone wishing to show solidarity. Developing this project also allowed me to advance my web design and screen-printing skills, helping me achieve a design that resonates deeply with Ukrainians and supporters alike.
