Describe a time when you were asked to solve a problem. What process did you use and what was the outcome?
In my group project for Diversity in Greek Life. We used the PMOPS worksheets process to figure out a way to get the issue solved.

In life, there are many different people who have very different backgrounds and upbringings. Which can lead to a wide variety of answers to questions, much like the ones that were used here. Two participants were interviewed to find out some of their past and see how that affects them today when they think of diversity. While some differences between Makenna Trumbles' and Kris Bradleys' answers are noticeable, the similarities are pronounced. Trumbles' and Bradleys' answers were the same when it came to several questions.

Group Reflection Elements of Yalom’s therapeutic factors were apparent over the course of the semester while experiencing and conducting our breakout groups. Yalom refers to 11 therapeutic factors in the practice of successful group therapy with them being: installation of hope, universality, imparting information, altruism, corrective recapitulation of primary family, development of socializing techniques, imitative behavior, interpersonal learning, group cohesiveness, catharsis, existential factors. Below, will be a reflection of my experience in the group over the course of the semester. Group Cohesiveness Of the 11 factors, group cohesiveness or the warmth of the group in which everyone felt that they belonged was readily apparent at the
“One way to observe synergy in an organization is to observe the combined efforts of individuals working together. Synergy can result from the efforts of people serving on committees or teams. By combining their knowledge, insights, and ideas, groups often make better decisions than would have been made by the group members acting independently. Positive synergy resulting from group decisions may well include the generation of more ideas, more creative solutions, increased acceptance of the decision by group members, and increased opportunity for the expression of diverse opinion (Gale,2009, p. 918).” Having a group that comes from diverse backgrounds and different walks of life can bring positive insight and new ideas into a group project.
My small group experience was back in Secondary School where I was part of my school’s National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) Cadet Leaders’ committee. The group lasted for approximately two years. Within the two years, we have meetings every fortnightly. This committee is a task group in which all members worked together to carry out activities for the school’s NPCC unit. The Cadet Leaders’ committee comprises of 10 members.
I think that by working in a group lets students see more connections between the story and the new information the gathered. For example when the family had to move to America because of the war. It lets students have a more open mind to the different culture of Islam. Groups can get more work done than singular students, but this assignment expected too much of the groups. I think instead of the group of four working on four big ideas, the groups should work together on one big idea.
I have always hated group projects, I avoid them like the plague. So, when I was told there would be a group assignment, I nearly panic. The reason why I loathe group work is not because I’m afraid of meeting new people, it is because I do not like to be too dependent on others, when it comes to grade work. However, this group project has enlighten me about what it means to actually work together. When we first got together we thought of topics that could rise awareness, we untimely came up Hazing in college campuses.
I. Historical Background All processes must be considered and understood within the context in which they occur. To fully recognize how the Celtic peoples who migrated eastward became Hellenized by their Greek and Phrygian neighbors and later Romanized by their conquerors, a brief history must be provided. According to Pausanias, who was writing in the second century BCE, under the command of Brennus, the Celts began moving southward and attacked the Greek city-states (REF).
Other cultures which followed the Badarian culture included the Nagada-Amratian and the Gerzean, each of whom who laid important foundations for the future Egyptian civilizations. Recorded history appears to begin around 3,400 and 3,200 BCE with the introduction of the Hieroglyphics Scripts, which were built up by the Nagada (III) culture. Mummification was widespread throught society and was first utilized at the city of Hierakonpolis. The ancient city of Xois was the center of the priesthood, but was later abandoned, but the priest and religious leaders re-established their centers of influence further to the east. Gradually, the population rose, and more settlements around the Nile river formed into urban towns.
I also really liked the group that I was a part of. Everyone was very communicative and wanted to do well on this project. The worst part, as mentioned in class, was finding time to get together and practice. The script came together very quickly (props to Sarah Betz) and we were all very excited to act it out. It was just difficult as most of us had jobs or organizational commitments most nights.
Self Reflection During the week we debated the pros and cons of the Mariner East II Pipeline. I was in group A and defending the pipeline through a Environmental lense. The debate personally was hard for me because, I have a hard time speaking up in front of people, researching was confusing and I was strongly against the pipeline especially from an a environmental lense. One of our strengths was teamwork.
However, the goal is to produce an outcome; if they cannot continue through the process because of conflict, the team may not get a satisfactory result and progress will stall and the team will fail to perform the task, will not get to evaluate on their experiences or present a finished product (Tuckman 1965). Additionally, it requires participants to use an in-depth method of thought called critical thinking. This process will challenge them to look at different aspects of why the event happened, and they might find that they had a misconceived understanding beforehand and, that, has changed as they explore further and internalise what they have learned.
The role that I played in my group are initiator-contributor, coordinator, and recorder. In my group, I propose a new idea for my chapter on what to do as an exercise for the whole class. The idea that I came up with was that each group will create their own band, decide who the leader will be, what the other team members roles is and, in the end, explain why they picked those roles. This exercise will not just cover the chapter I'm going through but it will also summarize the chapters my group will present and, in each team, they will experience conflict and different type of communication skills.
A time in my life that I have had to come together with other people to solve differences would be in cheerleading. There were thirteen girls, all with very different personalities and opinions. Like most cases, our personalities clashed at times, resulting in conflict. Most of the time we were able to resolve our conflicts, but when it came down to our homecoming routine, there was a lot of tension between us all. It is difficult to balance school and cheer at the same time, especially around the time of homecoming.
