During this past week in class, I was able to learn more about Group Process and Dynamics. In this reflection, I will talk about the "Building a House" activity and what I learned about diversity issues from this exercise. I will also give details on my observations linking them to behaviors listed in our class Observation Grid paper. On Monday, we partook in the group activity "Building a House". Our instructions were to as a group build a house made out of Legos. Before the activity we were each

For Human Communications group project, my group was accumulated of five members who worked together to find the influence of Youtube in our culture. The group was organized into five topics about Youtube to create a whole project. The project was split into the business, history, blogging, music, and sports of Youtube. My group made thorough decisions, was engaging, had little to no conflicts, and got our point across. I give my group members a high evaluation and enjoyed discovering new topics

that group work was heavily integrated into courses. Now, as a current sophomore at Bentley University, I have found this to be true for many of my classes. Some classes place more emphasis on group work than others. In GB214 (Marketing/Operations Fundamentals) for instance, from day one, students are divided into teams and are assigned a semester-long group project involving research and analysis of a company’s marketing and operations strategy. (Even the final exam for this class is a group presentation

In my small group for the film project analysis project I worked with four other students, Deonte, Frank, Osama, and Stephen. The specific purpose that we came together for was to analyse the film, Oz, The Great and Powerful and identify the different properties of communication in the film and how they were used. We held our group meetings after class three times and once before class. Our group had no clear leader, and instead each member was self-directed, and instead our group came to a general

For this week internship, I have attended GVAHEC staff meeting on Monday September 11 at apache Junction location. They usually do staff meeting every first Monday of the month to discuss about their organization, but for this month, they had to postponed the meeting to the second Monday of the month due to unavailability of some staff members. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss how to make the organization function better. One thing that they focused on during the meeting was the sponsorship

What does it mean to disturb the universe? Disturbing the universe is performing any task, even the simplest like fetching the mail. The universe is intricate and constantly changing. Disturbing the universe is crucial to having a functioning society because if you are not disturbing the universe you are not living, everything you do disturbs the universe, disturbing the universe is necessary for the unity of society. I disturb the universe every day. Every miniscule detail about my day is affecting

of a "group" they think of the amount of people but not the way they work together. In the small group analysis I will first explain the roles of people and the type of leadership that made us develop implicit and explicit norms. Second, I will talk about conflict, resolution techniques and maintaining social and task orientation. Third, I will share strengths, weaknesses and ways my group could have been more successful. Last, things I would have changed about the interaction in our group and the

along the way things can cause us to change the course that we have already set for ourselves. Lucretius who was a poet stated in one of his poems that “From just these first- beginnings. They are moved By their own inner impulse first, and then such groups as form with just a few together, are moved by unseen blows”(Austin 294). A lesson that I learned as I grew up is that everyone will not always have the same goal as they get older but over time our minds will be changed. There are many different

I feel unhappy with myself and my mind is plagued with negative thoughts as a result. I worry about the future to the point where I can’t focus on the present. These thoughts built up and came crashing down during the time I had to present with my group in front of my teacher during 8th grade for the first round of National History Day. I was nervous, frustrated, and worried. It was the third time we had to present in front of her and I had another project due to her the next day which I needed to

When working on a group you have to be a listener and a leader at the same time, you have to make sure you help your group. Being in a group is not an easy thing working with people can be challenging specially when they work at a different rhythm or even a different way, I’ve had different experiences working in groups but personally I can agree that this group was a perfect fit for me, at the beginning it was very difficult due to the fact that several of our classmates withdraw the class and did
