When it was announced to the class that we would have to present in groups for our first collaborative project, I began feeling excited at the prospect of engaging in group dynamics, as there is no better way to study how groups interact than to be part of one. As humans generally live in societies at this moment in time, it is crucial to learn how social dynamics work. However, I also felt that familiar anxiety, the one we all tend to feel when pushed out of our comfort zones. This feeling is the reason most people hate working in groups, as it forms when actively trying to reach out and communicate with others who are strangers to us. In an age where social media is dominating our interactions with others, and entertainment is a click away via smartphone, people have slowly but surely lost many of the social skills that are necessary for such a collaborative lifestyle. This is why I believe schools should teach social dynamics, as it is becoming more of problem in society, and also why I think group assignments are pushing us for the better. Years later, I will probably not remember the subject of the many presentations that were given in class this week, but I will remember the experience I had working in a group, and will definitely use that experience moving forward.
I think Alex did a good job did explaining why its important for us to do work in a group environment and how their are positives effects of working in a group like one dynamic you have to push past is having that anxiety when people are put into an unknown work space. I as well agree that schools should teach more social dynamics because is the modern workplaces you will be very likely to work together in groups on a project.
