First I want to tell Tom that it took me forever to figure out how to post a blog on this site... it's not intuitive at all.

Now I'll reflect on the Earthquake activity (I have no idea how long this reflection is supposed to be.) I was in the group that was more "cohesive" group. We all sat in a circle and gave all our members as many opportunities to contribute as possible. There were several obvious leaders in the group, but we all worked together instead of working against each other. I was very impressed with my group because in previous experiences with group work where there are multiple leaders there is a lot of arguing and contention. I think that part of this is because those previous experiences took place in conditions where there were other people in charge of us to sort out our arguments (i.e. high school) now that we are college students we have to make our own decisions and deal with the consequences. Things can get done faster and better when you work as a team, a well oiled machine, and in the Earthquake situation more people will probably survive.
