Decision Making!

I don't necessarily consider myself to fall into any single category in describing myself or actions at any point in my life, and the same goes for the scenario in class. I think I was a mixture of a "Compromise" type of mentality and "Collaborating." I felt I need to compromise in some scenarios of the class in order for the situation not to get out of hand, sort of how it was getting. "Enough is enough" is all that came to mind at certain points of the project. I was amazed at the extent of how much we were actually getting. One thing lead to another, and we made off like bandits. Especially when Professor Kurpis was going around the room and asking if everyone was satisfied with the decision and there were some fellow classmates, for some reason of whether of not that they didn't fully understand or for their own personal reasons, didn't raise there hands in satisfaction of what deal we had received. For the people that don't fully understand English, I know that it is hard to fully understand what is going on, but come on. If there is a classroom of people that are working on your side to get the best deal possible for everyone in the classroom in every type of way, you should just understand to the extent that if not all of us agree at that point, that we receive NOTHING. That should be enough to want to agree on any decisions made by the class at that point. I was literally begging and pleading with one or two of the people in order to get them to go along with what the class had decided on. That is where the "Collaborating"perspective came into play. For any of the people that understand English and just raised there hands in the end, your just out of your mind and not a nice person, I don't know any other way of putting it. I honestly saw almost every aspect of what was listed on that last slide being displayed in the classroom. but what honestly came back into mind, was when there were people that were the "avoidance" mentality in class and then when we were going into the review of the scenario were some of the most active people there. Complaining about how we should of gotten more, done this different, done that different, blah blah blah! Shut up! You don't open your mouth then, don't open it now. If anyone is upset at the deal we received, you are out of your mind and should understand that you will never be satisfied in life. We got the deal of a century. Forget about the deal itself, the opportunity alone to debate the terms on what will happen with our test scores and the examinations themselves was a blessing in itself. I honestly think for a class of around 60 people, we actually did amazing given the circumstances. The only thing that we should have done different was broken into groups like Vinnie and Professor Kurpis pointed out. At first, I thought it was a little to time consuming and irrational. but after thinking about it, I think it is a pretty good idea. I just like the whole idea of it and think that it is the most representative democratic way of dealing with it and more effective then the direct democratic way we held it, like a town hall meeting back in the day when they discussed issues and settled them the same exact way we did it. All in all, I think it was a great experience. Professor, if you wanna do another one for the final to see how we have learned on decision making, I am all about it hahahahah Thanks again!!!!!
