...Functional Group Theory within a Fundraising Committee” Sometimes problem-solving can be more successfully executed when there is more than one brain working towards a solution. By working within a group, one can also have the ability to see possible perils that personal biases could have otherwise delayed. The Functional Group Communications Theory can mainly be correlated to researchers, Dennis Gouran and Randy Hirokawa. Gouran and Hirokawa suggest that there are influences that correspond with the origination of the theory: John Dewey’s reflective thinking study, Robert Bales’ Interaction Process explorations, and research on Vigilant Decision Making completed by Irving Janis ( (Salazar). Hirokawa addresses valuable resolutions, and Gouran discusses applicable decisions. This theory demonstrates the insight of collaborative communication (Hirokawa). The Functional Theory of Effective group decision making is not essentially effected by what communication behaviors are being implemented, but more so the degree in which the correspondents are communicatively addressing matters (Littlejohn). In 1983, Hirokawa and Gouran developed four functions, termed “functional requisites” that a group should do to make an effective decision (Salazar). The first of these is to analyze the problem, once the problem has been identified then goals should be set, once goals are presented then the group should identify alternative. Lastly, the group should evaluate...

Your left with the choice try to park close or park far away and walk the long distance to festival. One obvious solution would be the lots having better management so one could be aware that the lot is open or closed. Too many times it was reported that pull up to lot entrance to find it unattended or the closed sign hidden well within the driveway. Once a spot is found close is costly less distance to walk, cheap hopefully you have your walking shoes on its going to a walk to the set meeting point. The “Landing” would be the starting point of this adventure after a long frame of time until the group was all caught back up the festival was a few blocks away. In the travel from the Landing to the festival many people took notice of an old dilapidated building. It looked as if the lower half was once a bank, but the rest of the building old office look as if it was getting ready fall over. The building covers a city block it is an eyesore with fresh new buildings surrounding it. How difficult could it possibly be to put this decrepit old building out of its mercy and erect possibly a new multilevel garage in its place, possible a city owned garage with the desire to bring more people into the center of downtown and get people to come downtown. The possibility of converting this old building...

...Group evaluation based on Social Exchange Theory Group evaluation based on Social Exchange Theory Social exchange theory suggests that each member of our group entered the group after first weighing the benefits verses the cost. In our situation as students in school, and assigned to a group in order to complete a graded project, what we must weigh is how social exchange theory would instead effect how much effort and dedication each person brought to the group. We must also consider that each person also had outside influences which added to their ability to contribute time on the project itself before giving a favorable or unfavorable opinion of a person’s contribution. For each of us, the benefits or reward are in most cases the same, we would like to get an A on our presentation. What will set us apart is how bad each of us as individuals really want that A. Since I have worked with each of the students in my group for over a year now it’s fairly easy to know and to set expectations as to who will do what within our group. Allan has cared about one thing since I met him a year ago, his GPA. He has not missed a day of school and like me is always the last to leave after class labs. Due to his dedication to maintaining a 4.0 GPA he had everything to gain by putting forth a great effort and contributing one hundred percent to his part of the project. Jolynn is also one who cares allot about her GPA and as with every other project I have been a part of, will give one...

...require, but to find out why it is required. Only by gaining a deep and comprehensive understanding of buyer behaviour can marketing’s goals be realised. Such an understanding of buyer behaviour works to the mutual advantage of the consumer and marketer, allowing the marketer to become better equipped to satisfy the consumer’s needs efficiently and establish a loyal group of customers with positive attitudes towards the company’s products. Consumer behaviour can be formally defined as: the acts of individuals directly involved in obtaining and using economic goods and services, including the decision processes that precede and determine these acts. The underlying concepts of this chapter form a system in which the individual consumer is the core, surrounded by an immediate and a wider environment that influences his or her goals. These goals are ultimately satisfied by passing through a number of problem-solving stages leading to purchase decisions. The study and practice of marketing draws on a great many sources that contribute theory, information, inspiration and advice. In the past, the main input to the theory of consumer behaviour has come from psychology. More recently, the interdisciplinary importance of consumer behaviour has increased such that sociology, anthropology, economics and mathematics also contribute to the science relating to this subject. 2 Social and cultural influences Culture is ‘learned’ behaviour that has been passed down over time, reinforced...

...Group Theory How Do I Relate To Power? I do not relate well to power because I have never had much of it at any point in my life. During the brief periods where power is in my hands I tend to quickly delegate it away because of my humble personality. Though had I an unlimited source of power and money there are a vast quantity of things I would like to accomplish for the good of my species and our planet. I would squash the gas and oil companies that are suppressing technology we now have that could eliminate the need for them. I would create programs that feed, clothe and educate those who are in need or otherwise incapable of accomplishing this on their own. I would create housing that was available to those willing to work an accompanying job that would also be provided with the house. With the ability I would make health care free. I would ensure that basic human needs would be met for any individual regardless of the circumstance unless they surrender their own basic human rights. There would be no more commercials asking for donations for impoverished children. I would support and fund new energy research. I would create a new system that gave care and a home to the mentally ill, now wandering the streets. Finally I would ensure there was space in jail for people who deserve to be there and be far more generous with the death sentence to discourage would be...

...field of combinatorics. The number of permutations of n distinct objects is n×(n − 1)×(n − 2)×...×2×1, which number is called "n factorial" and written "n!". Permutations occur, in more or less prominent ways, in almost every domain of mathematics. They often arise when different orderings on certain finite sets are considered, possibly only because one wants to ignore such orderings and needs to know how many configurations are thus identified. For similar reasons permutations arise in the study of sorting algorithms in computer science. In algebra and particularly in group theory, a permutation of a set S is defined as a bijection from S to itself (i.e., a map S → S for which every element of S occurs exactly once as image value). This is related to the rearrangement of S in which each element s takes the place of the corresponding f(s). The collection of such permutations form a symmetric group. The key to its structure is the possibility to compose permutations: performing two given rearrangements in succession defines a third rearrangement, the composition. Permutations may act on composite objects by rearranging their components, or by certain replacements (substitutions) of symbols. In elementary combinatorics, the name "permutations and combinations" often refers to two related problems, both counting possibilities...

...sinh−1 (i) . We wish to extend the results of [14] to subsets. Recent interest in systems has centered on classifying degenerate isometries. It was Brahmagupta who first asked whether topoi can be studied. Recent interest in points has centered on deriving linearly ultra-Smale, ultra-covariant, geometric paths. Moreover, we wish to extend the results of [26] to algebraically Poisson functionals. A useful survey of the subject can be found in [12]. In this context, the results of [26] are highly relevant. Recently, there has been much interest in the characterization of d’Alembert monodromies. Therefore this could shed important light on a conjecture of Brouwer. This reduces the results of [40] to standard techniques of operator theory. Hence this could shed important light on a conjecture of Frobenius. In [19], it is shown...

...person in charge give support by getting involved in the activity within the group or you cannot give support and observe what is going on and give feedback. Two or one therapist can be used two would be much better so one won’t have to do all the work. Co-therapy is the team they provide an opportunity for prevention of burnouts. I think all of this methods use is all about support and having a backup plan in case one thing goes wrong. The step needed to build a productive team is make sure everybody is on the same page and have the same goals and believing in one another. Communicate with one another and let everybody know what you will do in the group two-way communication is needed. Make sure everybody in the group has something to do in the group. Talk about everybody power they have on each of the group member’s power exists in relationships not in individual’s power could be anything. When you’re done with all that you will need to make a decision as a group. Test your team skills by disagreeing and listening to everybody thoughts. The last thing is to learn how to resolve a conflict. Building a commitment group make sure that the entire group is totally committed to achieve their goals. First you would need a goal believe that the entire group member can do this too. Then set up some performance goals for the team. Stick to the goal until it is completed. When measuring quality of a group members work you will need how to measure...

... I have always had a passion for getting involved in community activities and helping people as much as I can, being able to translate that passion into a reality at the Houston Foodbank was a memorable experience for me. The activities of the day started at 8:00 am with registration and a welcome address from the staff at the Foodbank. After the address, the group was split into two subgroups, people with blue tags and those with orange tags. I was part of the group with the blue tags. One of the leaders took us into a sorting room where we had to separate and sort items from big boxes into smaller banana boxes. The items range from cereal to drugs to toys and other household products. Items such as water, soda and items that were too big to go into the banana boxes were placed into different boxes. Once a banana box has been filled, it is covered and carried to the packaging unit for proper packing and storing. We did this for about an hour until one of the leaders pulled the UHD students out of the room as it was getting too crowded. The UHD students were then moved to a separate unit where we had to further group the items packed into banana boxes into different categories which includes non-food products, drugs, condiments and soda, dry foods and snacks. Expired food items were placed into a separate container to avoid giving them out. We worked in this unit until the end of the period. Working at the Houston Foodbank taught me a number of things. Firstly, I got the opportunity...

...Muted group is defined as “People belonging to low-power groups who must change their language when communicating publicly, thus, their ideas are often overlooked; e.g., women” (Kramarae, Cheris, 461). Kramarae say because women are often a muted group in the public sphere, they’ve developed back-channel routes to openly share their experiences with other women. According to Oregon State University, “Muted Group Theory is a critical theory because it is concerned with power and how it is used against people. While critical theories can separate the powerful and the powerless any number of ways, this theory chooses to bifurcate the power spectrum into men and women.” Women are the people with little power who have trouble giving the voice to their perceptions because they must re-encode their thoughts to make them understand in the public sphere. Men and Women perform different tasks in society. The movie that can relate to muted theory is ‘The Help.” Men dominated the political sphere, and women dominated at...
