Solving conflicts...

During the class decision, I had chose to withdraw from any activity because I did not agree with what the class had decided to do. My actions benefited the whole class because if I had not left, the class would not have gotten their decisions and we would have conflict as a class. Not to disrespect anyone in the class, but I thought that the test was fair because everything needed for the test was given to us, and if one classmate can get a 100, then it shows that it is not impossible for others. I understand that the class average was fairly low, but I just think that its life because everyone takes the class for granted because of the amount of fun we have in the class.
Another way I would have solve the problem is if I had stayed in the class and messed up everyone's grade. If that was to happen, I would be the only one that benefited from my action, meaning that i disregarded all the feelings and desires of my fellow classmate. To me the conflict was a battle between selfish desire to feel good or collectivism. If I would have chosen individualism because it is only fair to the majority of the class that they get what they want because it is the greatest good for the greatest amount.

Whole egg, five points!!!

When we first started the group work everyone had a lot of ideas because we all wanted the five extra points. One of our first ideas that the group came up with was to make a basket with the egg but later on we realized that the egg might still crack. One of the group members came up with the idea to lower the egg slowly into the garbage can but we had to ask if that was allow. Once we got the OK, we started to think about how we were going to use all the materials that we had so everyone started to think about ways to divide up the materials. We later agreed to cut the straws into halves the long way so we can have more length and after ward we would start to tape all the straws together. The over all project was a success but a lot of the other group members were angry with out work because we did not really drop the egg but as long as we got the five points we did our job. Everyone in the group was very productive because we got the scissors to cut the straw.
