10 FEBRUARY 2010
WEDNESDAY
GROUPWORK

Today we got divided into groups and each of us were handed a topic to discuss with the rest of the group. The three topics were teamwork, responsibility and conflict. We discussed our topics in our groups, did evaluation of what everybody thinks and delivered it to the rest of the group.


TEAMWORK:
GROUP 1:

• PG
• Sumaya
• Eddy
• Jason


They all got to discuss teamwork and give a definition for it as well. Teamwork portrays the following:

T – together
E – everybody
A – achieves
M – more


When a group works together to achieve a specific more/goal. A set of players forming one side. A set of people working together to combine for a common purpose. Work together, communication, understand, support, responsibility, motivation, listening and TRUST. Communication: to make known, to transmit or transfer, and to pass news or information. Trust: firm belief in reliability, the truth is the responsibility arising from trust placed in a person’s given authority.


RESPONSIBILITY:
GROUP 2:

• Chenelle
• Dewaldt
• Natalie
• Monica
• Christian

This group had to discuss responsibility. To be responsible is to make rational decisions. Responsibility is able to take care of people, things and places correctly. Responsibility: consequences, rules, trust, do’s and don’ts, guidelines and standards. Rules are the specific outline. It is there to help you in life. This gets made from a guideline. Take action for anything you’re going to do.


CONFLICT:
GROUP 3:

• Antonet
• Zenobia (me)
• Chery
• San-mari
• Skigh

This was the group that I was in. We had to discuss conflict. Conflict can arise between team members, because of different personalities and view of things. Conflict is an open clash between two or more opposing teams or individuals. Conflict can also occur in difference of opinions, tasks, feelings, cultures, rasism, religions, strategies ect.


FRIENDLY CONFLICT:

SPORT: Conflict arises here because of different teams, egg. Blue Bulls and Sharks supporters. When two teams play against each other. Usually this leads to debating about these teams, the debating can sometimes get out of hand and then this leads to more personal matters. The result of this is negative conflict for no reason to be.


NEGATIVE CONFLICT:

FRUSTRATION: No rules, no responsibility, no teamwork. Conflict can lead to death or really unhappiness. So never go to bed upset, always talk about what annoys you. You never know what is going to happen when. Important aspects that need to be in mind when conflict occurs, compromise, respect and honesty, talking about what bothers you and communication.
