Back when I was studying in Singapore Polytechnic, I had to work in many different groups with individuals from diverse background. It did not take me long to understand that everyone has their unique way when approaching a same project outcome. During my first project group, the group leader assigned by to the team was very eager into "jumping" into the project, however, there was some in the team that did not share the same eagerness. The leader first begun by sharing his idea on the project to the team and as he was going on about his idea, one of the group members is distracted and another was looking to cut him off. After he was done sharing, he passed it on to the other members to share their thoughts on the project. The leader was quick into responding and assuring the group members that his idea will work and we should attempt his method.  looking back at the situation and evaluating it.

  For this week blog I am going to be observing and evaluating the interactions in the video showed in class on “Big Bang Theory” where Sheldon and Amy, the character in the show, was having a dinner date.

 Getting into conflict is part of life and I have always shunned away from it, as it is a hassle to resolve it. During the lesson, when the lecturer asked us to associate conflict with a word/action and all the association was negative and have I thought nothing about it as it was the way I viewed it as well. However after the lesson, I then understand that resolving conflict is necessary as it allow individual to 'grow' in EQ and resolving conflict is no necessary a negative thing as it can even deepen relationships in a positive manner. And the takeaway for the lesson for me is to think positive about future conflict and resolving it rather than shunning away from it.
