Group Dynamics Blog Post #2

In my group I take the role of a person who tries to help but can't always help. My ideas are not usually liked. I will not raise my hand unless I have a great answer or explanation to the question. In my group I don't talk while the teacher is talking or when a student is talking. I also don't talk very much when we are calibrating. I am this roll because my group doesn't like my ideas. I am also somewhat shy and I don't speak up very much but I would like to. In my group I have friends but not close friends. I think it would be fun to work with your close friends but you wouldn't get very much done. In a group that does not have your close friends it will be better to listen to others and get things done because you are not talking all the time. In my group we are all leaders but some more then others. If someone was tyring to take over the group and tell everyone what to do I would not let them. I would make sure that person did work too and counter propose an idea that they told one of my group member to do. If they were trying to boss me around and they wouldn't listen to me I wouldn't listen to them. The most difficult situation was when I was with my last group. They wouldn't work on our project instead they would play video games. I tried to tell them to work but they just said I was bossy and wouldn't listen. The group that I was in and the group that I am in were and are good learning opportunities.
