Journal 3 and 4- Corinne

Journal 3:

Since my group is small since it is only my partner and I working on the topic of Gay Marriage and the conflict that occurs with religion. I hope that this group process can be effective and as close to a 50/50 relationship as possible. I know often that can be an issue with groups of one person not doing the same about of work as the others either more or less work. And I have the expectation that we will be able to work together on this project. Since it is just the two of us, to some degree it makes it easier because we don’t have to work with a lot of scheduling. I hope for this task that we are able to put our talents together and it truly is a group project and not just one of us taking on the majority of the work. We have slightly different styles because she would rather try and do all of the work together while I realize there is some work which I do better alone. We are similar because we both tend to put things off until the last minute

Journal 4:

Often times I don’t realize when just glancing over a conflict that if you look more in depth and really examine the situation you realize, at least for me, I realize that at the core of my conflict are my morals and my beliefs. Not just what I think is right and wrong, but things that I have been raised on and feel strongly about. Part of me thinks that part of this is a good thing because it makes me feel very secure as a person in what I believe in, what I feel is worth getting in conflicts about. But at the same time I am a little bit concerned because every now and then you have that one thing that completely throws you for a loop. One of those conflicts which rocks you to your center. Those are the conflicts I fear.
