Boot Camp Roles

One of the concept I noticed while I was at Boys & Girls Club was the statues and roles. Each staff member had their own important roles that they played part in at B&G Club but the same status; their status was B&G club staff member. For example, Joe status was a staff member but a higher advanced one; Joe was the manager of the club. He had more important roles then the other staff members. Joe made sure everything was going in order. Another staff member is Jeff. Jeff’s role is less demanding. He just helps around Joe and make sure the kids are behaving. Each staff member had a different role they played. Either it was the manager. helping recreations, or small groups, they each put in a different part to help out.

Social Norms: Social norms or more are the rules of behavior that are considered acceptable in a group or society. People who do not follow these norms may be shunned or suffer some kind of consequence. In the reading the civilians must form to the idea of the marines, BECOME a man. If the men chose

Marine’s are in a disciplined society which only military values are allowed. I am in a modern society which allows me to have my own values. Both Marine and I reside in a manipulative society.

Most civilians would label Jessup’s actions as cruel and cold hearted and vicious. They would view thesituation from a Teleological framework, which means they would be thinking about theconsequences of Jessup’s actions. However, civilians are not marines and therefore do not understand the point of the situation. The point is to adherence to military rules. In fact proper ethical behavior in the case of a marine comes form following therules. This is an example of a deontological

| Groups also have members who play certain social roles: * Encourager: Praises the ideas of others. * Harmonizer: Mediates differences between group members. * Compromiser: Moves group to another position that is favored by all group members. * Gatekeeper/expediter: Keeps communication channels open. * Standard Setter: Suggests standards or criteria for the group to achieve. * Group observer: Keeps records of group activities and uses this information to offer feedback to the group. * Follower: Goes along with the group and accepts the group 's ideas (Roles in Groups, 1999).

The group leader should be able to control the group and keep them on task. Also the group leader should help individuals help present concerns to the group (Shulman, 2012). The group leader has a lot of responsibilities so they need to be mindful of what they are doing at all time. They are also a role model to the other group member and the group. Leaders should also make sure to understand questions asked and to make sure to answer where the group understands (Shulman, 2012).

Go back in time, prior to hitting those yellow footprints, whether it be in San Diego or Perris Island. You are sitting on your couch and the United States Marine Corps TV commercial, America`s Few comes on. In this commercial, as Marines run towards ‘the calling’ you hear in the background rifle cracking as the silent drill team handles rifles with bayonets with extreme precision. The cracking rifle sound serves as a “call,” ‘spiritually speaking. We might think of it, and the honorable President Obama has made this very timely, as the “call to service” or the “call less heeded” instead of “the road less traveled’. ‘You can’t just answer the call, you must also prove worthy of the title before you take your place in the line of America’s Marines–the purpose for which our protagonists began the journey and, importantly, issue the call to others down the generations.’’ Throughout a Marines career, drill and ceremonies are a constant because ‘‘the object of close order drill is to teach Marines by exercise to obey orders and to do so immediately in the correct way. Close order drill is one foundation of discipline and esprit de

Everyday, people are forced to face with vicious circle of decisions: whether to stick to their morals or obey the authority figure. But it’s a fact that people have a propensity to obey authority, more than to preserve their own morals. A Few Good Men is a film that illustrates the struggle every marine faces-- to follow orders, good or bad. But why would marines follow the orders without hesitation if that order questions the principles they live by? Because the orders in the navy are meant to follow all for the reason of making everyone in Navy into good marines and to be strong enough to defend the nation. It required unquestioning commitment and obedience to orders. The articles, “The Perils of Obedience” by Stanley Milgram and “The

- There are three main roles that a group member can fill, each with their own variations: task oriented, socioemotional, and destructive.

6. Show up to meetings and if meeting was missed contact the others in the group to be updated as to what was missed. 7. Complete assignments before class and group meetings. 8. Assist others if having trouble with assignments within the group. 9. Adapt to change in curriculum – remaining flexible. 10. Under any and all circumstances, get what work I am allotted to do, done and turned in on time. 11. If I am sick and unable to make it to class on the date a group assignment is due, I will call my group members to make other arrangements to get my work turned in on time. 12. Will do my share of the group work, there will never be an occasion where one group member does all of the work nor will there be a time when a group member does none of the work. 13. Will do everything in my capabilities to help my fellow group members understand each and every concept and problem. 14. Will

My role as a class leader in NJROTC and the wrestling team captain allowed me to benefit others and assist them with achieving their goals whatever it may be. For example, I was responsible for the performance and success of the cadets and team members that I am in charge of. As the wrestling team captain, I must make sure that everyone is able to perform to the best of their abilities and solve any issues they have if need be. In addition, I teach some skills and provide some pointers for the team in order to enlarge their repertoire to win more matches with ease. As the class leader I was responsible for cadets’ appearance, discipline, and performance in and out of class. I conduct drill with the cadets to make sure they are marching with

I fully believe that our enemy can be an ethical warrior. However, I am not saying that at all times they are, or even that they have all the same moral beliefs that we as Marines possess. I believe that in their minds, they are fully acting based off their moral beliefs. These are the beliefs that they have learned from their society, schooling, and religion or by other means. They may believe killing women and children, under a religious cause, constitutes an ethical decision. For example, according to ____, Muslims believe by taking an innocents life, they are “saving them”. Even though this action goes against all of our ethics and morals as Marines, they truly believe that the acts that they are committing are for the cause of betterment

Roles may be formal or informal set of behavior’s that are put into place to accomplish goals in the workplace. The norms are the expected actions and results that fit into the expectations of the workplace or group you are in, and cohesiveness is the ability to come together in order to meet the needs, and to support others in obtaining their desired results.

My next role is encouraging. The role of identity in encouraging is being friendly and warm in every situation. Always be responsive to other people and accepting the ideas they bring forward to the group. The role of perception in encouraging is that everything must be said in a calm collective way and to not create fights or arguments. To give everyone a chance to speak about their ideas or information based on the task. Also to encourage everyone in a nice way to get the work done and sorted with positivity and respect. The role of expectation in encouraging is that the group members

There are different aspects in a group structure such as roles, norms, status and cohesiveness, even though it is not clearly stated and is usually unnoticed it is at the centre of most dynamic processes. When someone is new to the group they spend their time understating their role and requirements. If they cannot fulfil their role requirement they risk losing the spot in a group. Norms in a group are specifically defined and revised over a period of time.
