SPC1017 Group 1 Blog - Brandi Cecilio







    Our group did all of chapter Chapter 3 and we had to make a PowerPoint explaining what each chapter meant. The first chapter of the book discussed how we behave as a society, and in 3.1 was culture and Communication that was another really interesting chapter. A culture is a set of shared values and beliefs that are acceptable among a certain group of people, and it is produced by people who have common life experiences, with traditions passed down from generation to generation.




      3.2d Sexual orientation was another interesting chapter that was explored. An enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction to people of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, both sexes, or more than one gender is known as sexual orientation. Heterosexuality has long been praised and favored in the dominating American culture. Those who did not conform to the heterosexual standard were frequently mistreated. Despite the rise in popularity of laws reflecting a shift in attitudes regarding sexuality, people who are not heterosexual continue to endure discrimination, as well as legal and physical threats. As a result, co-cultures founded on the collective experiences of persons who embrace a sexual orientation that is not heterosexual exist across the country.


      Another topic that’s worth talking about is about those who have lived in the same generation can create co-culture distinctions. For example, those born during the Great Depression may be abstinent, Baby Boomers may be skeptical of authority, Gen "Z'ers may be adaptable, and those born after the 1990s and life after 9/11 may have no idea about world violence or the realities of school, but they are adept at technology, multitask, and recognize differences. When people from various generations interact, conflict can arise because of differences in respect (for example) between those born before the 1960s and those born after.


     Chapter 9 was delivered by Group 2, and it was highly interesting and a good presentation of the book's contents. Chapter 9 focuses heavily on distinct groupings. If Chapter 3 discussed our society, Chapter 9 focused on specific aspects of that society. Clubs, classes like this one, friendship groups, and pretty much every other type of group are examples of groupings. Groups are made up of three or more people who share a sense of belonging and influence one another. All vocal and nonverbal messages conveyed among group members are referred to as group communication. A family is a collection of individuals who create a sense of belonging, collective identity, past, and future via their communication. Families can be nuclear (consisting of two parents living together with their biological or adopted children), single parent (consisting of one adult living with their children), extended (consisting of a parent or parents and their children living with grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, or other relatives), or blended (consisting of committed or married adults living with the children of their previous marriages and relationships as well as perhaps the children of their unintended pregnancy).




    Finally, Chapter 10: Group Leadership and Problem Solving was given by Group 3. The final group gave the shortest presentation, but it was very basic and exact in describing the book's contents. It discusses formal leaders, emergent informal leaders, shared leadership, and functions. A leadership process is one in which an individual encourages a group of people to reach a common goal, which I feel my group accomplished, although there was no designated leader, some individuals volunteered to direct certain activities, such as the PowerPoint presentation. Although a group may have a formal leader, a person designated or chosen to oversee the group process, effective leadership in groups is achieved through a series of informal emergent leaders, individuals who help guide the group to achieve various leadership roles.





   Task leadership positions assist the group in obtaining, processing, or applying information that is directly related to the completion of a task or objective. The behaviors that assist the group build and sustaining cohesiveness, dedication, and strong working relationships are known as maintenance leadership duties. These relationship abilities, according to a well-known motivational speaker who focuses on effective leadership, are even more crucial than task responsibilities for effective leadership.





     Finally, these initial speeches taught me a lot. I learned about them through watching them and executing one myself. It was a fantastic event, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I decided to record my presentation and incorporate it in the PowerPoint, which was entertaining because I messed up the recording a lot, so I included a comedy video at the conclusion. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I am looking forward to doing it again soon.
