Journal # 3 and #4

Journal #3:

Reflect on your group. What are your expectations for your group process? What are your hopes for your ability to accomplish the task? Can you identify different styles/personalities that you think might effect how the group functions?

I really like my group so far. I'm excited to get to know them better. My expectations for our group process is just to work well together and get things done on time and efficiently. We are a very tiny group, so I think that will work in our advantage. Any different styles in personalities haven't really been made clear quite yet, but I'm sure if this causes a problem that it will be worked out in a very calm and quick manner.

Journal #4:

Think about your own conflicts or conflicts that are in the world around you. If you think in terms of analysis what do you notice, that you might not see if you don't?

The conflicts that I think of most in my life are conflicts in my family. There are a lot of conflicts in my family that have to do with a lot of seemingly different things. But, when you look at the conflicts you realized that there is a common reason for the conflicts. My family has a communication issue. We don't communicate very well. Then when we realize the miscommunication, we become angry with the other person. But, when we are angry we don't tell each other. We just ignore the situation, maybe being a little more stiff with the person than usual. I think if you didn't analyze my family you might not realize the true cause behind all the conflict.
