Blog Post #1

So it has occurred to me since the start of this class how often I am actually in a small group setting. I guess I just never thought about it before. This class is starting to be really helpful in understanding different group dynamics too. I've even applied it to roommate situations in trying to understand the different personalities that my roommates and I have. Anytime I have a group meeting or have to work in a group for a class, I just feel more comfortable because I have more of an understanding on how groups work. Knowing that conflict is inevitable is also a relief because I used to think that once conflict became a part of the group, it was all downhill. Now I realize that conflict can actually be beneficial to the group. Hopefully these new insights will stick with me and I will learn more about groups and how to act in them. It's helped so far!
