Tag Your It!

When I think of Murray State University there are certain words that pop into my head- Navy, gold, racers, college, and many others. Until class discussion yesterday, I never realized how differently people viewed certain objects or topics. When searching for something online or in a database, everyone will type in different words for their search depending on how they think of the subject. If you do not find search results, you automatically type the search a different way to see if you get more results.

While doing the activity in class, I noticed that everyone looked at the racer photo differently. It also made me realize that I shouldn’t be discouraged if I don’t find results on my first search because the person that tagged it might have thought differently. What words would you use to tag this photo?
