From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of th
20、e measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, I dont need math. I will never use it. Im an artist, and guess what, its the most important thing that I use, Hartman said. “If I dont get that right, then the windows dont fit,
21、 the pieces dont come together and it just doesnt work out.”6The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesnt always get to experience with her other artworks.

26、elies on people being honest and not trying to cheat but it does provide a temptation to get away with not paying the full amountPhilip Graves, a psychologist, suggests that this temptation is part of our 7evolution. He says:“ We have evolved with the ability to be dishonest. Its part of our evoluti
27、onary psychological make-up-because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving ”So why do we place such importance on being honest if we benefit from being dishonest? Its because it is selfish behavior. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly al

As Philip Graves says:“ There is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own nest, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracized(排斥)by the group ”So, for societies to work together we need to trust each other and ther
