Reflection on Impossible Merger

Impossible merging shows two parties that cannot work hand in hand (they cannot rely on one another) and in the end both cannot survive in certain atmosphere and environment. A good example would be a bird merging with a fish (upper part is the fish head and lower part represents bird legs). Furthermore, this merged creature would not survive for sure (maybe for few hours) because it needs to be breathing in water and on land at the same time. Well, what would happen if Marlboro (a cigarette company) merged with Anlene (a milk powder production company)? Could that be possible? Yes, they could merge but they would go bankrupt in a short time because there would be conflict which involves their policy especially when it comes to the health aspect (a cigarette and milk powder, what do you think?).

Some words can be related to each other even though they are both very random. One example that has been shown in the class is relating chilli and love. One good phrase taken from one of the students is “if chilli is the flavour of food, love is the flavour of life”. The next post would be two poems relating women and garbage. How contradicting can it be? It’s a challenging task given by the lecturer!
