Group 7: LGBTQ Newcomers

In this group project, I played the role of information giver as well as the initiator. I completed the task I was assigned to providing the information on my part. Secondly, I initiated in starting the google docs, where the whole group can work together towards submitting the final project. I started with transferring all the rough drafts into one document where the group can together elaborate and edit the project. Lastly, I took the initiative in keeping the group on time for completing the project right on deadline.

Group work is an effective method of therapy in which a social worker leads a group of individuals who have a common purpose. Group work is used for many populations, and there are constantly new models of group work that are developed for certain underserved populations. One of those populations is the LGBTQ community, specifically, LGBTQ adolescents. This essay will cover new models that can be implemented to lead groups with LGBTQ group members. The purpose of the models is to promote resiliency and to be used as interventions for those who have trouble coping with stress. There will also be discussion about the benefits for facilitators and members who participate in groups, and how effective these groups are for LGBTQ adolescents. It is important to care about the LGBTQ community because they are more alienated than other minority groups. Someone who is part of a racial or gender minority has friends or family that identify with the same status; LGBTQ do not always have someone who identifies with them, making them more vulnerable than most other minorities.

For this class project, I think my group worked well together on the assignments. We all saw we had responsibilities and were expected to do our own parts for each assignment we worked on. For each assignment, we would split it equally among us and used a tool called Google Docs so we were each on our own computers but working together on one file. Google Docs really made the process easier with reviewing all the information and having it all in one file. If any questions came up we had a group text to communicate when we weren’t on campus grounds for class.

During my Master Courses at the University of Maryland University College each and every subject, we had to complete a group project and submit it within the certain time frame. It was a very challenging task as people were in my group was in different time zones and everybody was doing a job and has a household responsibility. Most of the time, I was leading my team, as I like to work in advance to complete the project before the deadline. I was preparing a meeting agenda for my project management course. We have completed weigh waste water project for blueberry farm to grow blueberry in organic way and at the same time providing nutrient and saving the

LGBT is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender. It is intended to highlight a diversity of sexuality and gender identity-based cultures. Historically, LGBT people have had to deal with being brutalised and misunderstood because of the misconception that being gay is different and deserves different treatment. However, there are efforts being made daily by the community in order to educate people and ease their fears. The purpose of the following analysis is to deconstruct how people who fought back while growing up realizing they are apart of community help shaped and/or will shape them to become strong roles for LGBT people around the world.

In the Introduction to LGBT+ Studies class we discussed many themes of the history of the LGBT+ community, these themes include; oppression, fighting for our visibility and having it delayed, and a sort of power within the community. The LGBT+ community has gone through an immense amount of oppression, having to fight its way into the light and having it be pushed aside multiple times. In a historical context when the LGBT+ community started to show itself so to speak was around the 1920’s there were the first gay rights movements starting, and surprisingly it was the start of some acceptance. However, when World War II began in 1939 it oppressed the movement, as well as setting it back by gay men being denied from the military because

When the project was first introduced and we were out in a group together, we immediately discussed topics that we could present on. At the time, we did not choose a topic, but the following day we were able to find a topic that we all enjoyed researching and presenting on. Once we had a topic to present on, we split up the work evenly between us and started a google docs so we could post our notes and completed work online. This process was very dependent on every member of the group contributing to the end goal of presenting our finished project. For the most part we completed our respective tasks and was able to complete our presentation on why health care should be free. Our group did not communicate very much, this highlighted the interdependence

When I was a junior we had a huge project for my U.S history class and it happened to be our final. I actually achieved greatly in other projects before that and felt confident in achieving our final. Our teacher recommended partners and actually enforced it. I held my pride and told her I could still do it myself and she stuck to her command and I was forced to have a group. I believed that it is best to not rely on others for help to truly get something done. But when it came to actually doing the project I recognized where I was wrong. I couldn't do research, find artifacts, construct, and buy materials for the project all by myself. My teammates actually helped me find more concrete info for the project that really got us the A for the

I think that the group I had for this project worked pretty well. There was no dominant leader in the group, and I don’t think the work in our group was balanced equally. I feel that some people in our group did more work than others. Also, I was the only girl in this group, so it was good to have another girl in the next literary year in pictures assignment. From working on this assignment, I learnt many things. One thing that I learned is when we do these assignments, you really need to balance out the time you spend on each panel. My group spent way too much time on the first panel, causing us to have to rush on the last panels. We were limited on time to finish, so it would have worked out better if we spent the same amount of time on each panel. Also, involving working together, I learnt when we are doing this assignment we cant spend much time making sure everyone is doing their job perfectly. We should let people do their role by themselves and not focus on their job or else we spend too much time on one job, which is what happened in my group. At the beginning, everyone was too focused on the drawing of the first panel and this wasted a lot of

In this MG-624-I03 course, I was assigned to team number 1 for Southwest Airline project. And I have to say that I was lucky to be assigned to a strong group. Every member in the group works towards the same goal which makes the group assignments easier than it supposed to be. In the beginning, each member will actively give suggestions on how to effectively complete the project. It is also worth mentioning that our team leader Alyson Stilwell is very responsible to our team project. She will put all the posts from different members in order regularly. Moreover, she will edit and reorganize all the materials and compile them all together before the final submission. In addition, Stacey

In my undergraduate work, almost all of my classes that were directly related to my major required at the least one group project. In the beginning this was not something I was very fond of mostly because I had some bad experiences when it came to working with others on projects. Usually it was the problem of people not pulling their own weight, and doing their parts to help with the tasks. When it came time to have the assignment complete it was even harder to give a grade to those people. I did not want to be the guy who caused someone to throw someone under the bus. However, after I thought about it, I did want to be that guy because in the real world on a work project if there was someone who did not pull their weight in the job projects would not be successful. So, when it came time for grades, I was always honest, and usually if a person did not do their part I told it how it was.

A social problem is normally a term used to describe problems with a particular area or group of people in the world. Social problems often involve problems that affect real life. It also affects how people react to certain situations. While differences in racial/ethnic prejudices have been explored extensively in past literature (e.g. Bobo and Zubrinksy’s 1996, study of differential prejudices directed toward Hispanic and Black individuals), little U.S. research has investigated how attitudes toward lesbians, gays, bisexual men, bisexual women, and male-to-female (MtF) and female-to-male (FtM) transgender (henceforth “LGBT”) may differ ( Marcus, 2015).

Working in a group can be very difficult at times. Different people with different views may not always agree which one another. Throughout the various task I played the communicator. I made sure everyone was on track on what we wanted to do. I also made sure people was okay and happy in the role they was playing in the group. My group worked together in collecting ideas from one another and making it into one.

Being involved in a group project was a challenge for me, due to the fact that we had some communication problems between our group members in the beginning. First of all, we started with a brainstorming, analysing the opportunities of companies around Hendon Central. More than this, we agreed on the same firm and started our work. Within a teamwork, there are some challenges that occur such as remaining focused on a direction, splitting equally the work and choosing a good leader. Bearing all this in mind, I might say that we did our best during the presentation and we coped with the minor communication issues. From this experience, I realized that I am a good leader and I can manage efficiently a project.

It started with the bulk of our research which was mainly going through information on our topic and finding support for the points we wanted to discuss within our paper. Then we created our group outline we found this to quite easy as well as it was easy to divide up the work of doing so by each focusing on our own lens then bring it together to work it all together, we also at this point discussed and formulated our introduction and conclusion. Next we began to go from the process of going from the outline to our actual paper. We did this by creating our each own section then putting them together, however since we had already worked on making sure the segments would flow together well in the outlining process we did not come across many problems. While we had each individually put together the main detail sections of our paper, we also put together our introduction, conclusion and solution segments of our group paper together. For the introduction segment of the paper we had a bit of disagreement about a word choice however we eventually settled it over conversation and overcame it. After we had finished our first draft of our group paper we let another group of peers that were in our class look over our paper to make sure we had not gotten caught up in any biases or if we were overlooking and major paper structure flaws. After small critiquing from the other group and looking over
