We have all worked in a group or team at some point in our careers. A team is brought together to achieve a common goal. The team needs to have members who have complementary skills and who are committed to a common purpose to achieve performance goals. However, teams don’t move immediately toward performing, but instead evolve over time. There are five stages of group and team development.
Think about a time when you joined a new group . . . it could be at work, in a family setting or with a social group.
Part 2: Respond to a Peer
Read a post by one of your peers and respond, making sure to extend the conversation by asking questions, offering rich ideas, or sharing personal connections.
A time that I can recall joining a new group was when I was attending the University of Phoenix. I was undergoing my BA in Business Management there and one of the strategies I suppose for the course’s major, was that for every assignment that we were assigned each week there was always a team assignment due as well. So, for about 5-6 or possibly even more weeks I would spend time with a group of strangers and we would go through the five stages of team development in our efforts to complete assignments. Some of the stages were present but some of them were not at times.
I suppose the most challenging stage that occurred most often was the forming stage. It took more time to get past because people were either delayed with interacting with one another, some people were careless about interacting with one another or some were overtly anxious or aggressive in getting the forming portion started. I remember that over time we would eventually get past the forming stage, and we’d have all of the team members involved or at times we’d only have some of them involved. Because my grade relied on the work ethic of other people I hardly knew and not just myself alone, I would always try to engage and provide a welcoming environment. I would try to present ideas and always asked for others input. Eventually I would usually always take leadership position just to be sure things eventually got started and everyone knew what their jobs/roles were in completing an upcoming assignment. Now that I’m having a realization that forming was a challenge for some of my teams, I would think of ways to make that process easier. I remember sometimes I would get with my teammates during class to just touch on some things school related or personal. I had to force myself from being worried about making a person uncomfortable if I approached them during class. Forming is an important part of the team development phase so I would want to do more interacting and engaging early on so that people get a general idea of what type of person I am and my intentions for working with them in getting a job/assignment done. Sometimes those relationships, while fun and exciting, come to an end and sometimes they remain for years.

Research Assignment
In May of next year, Brown University will hold their annual commencement exercises. In the past, hotels in Providence have set rate fences for graduation weekend and have charged in excess of 600.00 a night with a minimum stay requirement of 4 nights. While this is a common practice in the industry, many consumers have complained and have even sued hotels for this practice. For this assignment you will discuss the ethics of revenue management (basically, is this ethical?).
Write a 2-3 page paper (double space, times new roman size 12 font) on your position.
Use a minimum of two sources to validate your research.
(((write one paragraph for each one )))
a. Suppose you wanted to study the effects of exercise on mood—which of the three methods (case study, naturalistic observation, or survey) might you select and why? What would be the goal?
b. Suppose you wanted to understand the characteristics of serial killers—which method would you use, and why? What would be the goal?
c. Suppose you wanted to study the role of stress in the eating habits of college students—which method might you use then and why? Again, what would be the goal?
The prompt in this assignment is based on the video or the article. Either may be used for this essay.
In one to two well reasoned, good length paragraph(s), discuss the possible racial discrimination, if any, you find that exists at the school. If you find no discrimination, discuss why you don’t believe there is any. Your discussion must be supported by at least one text reference. The text reference must be to page number and edition. You may present your opinion but there must be some support from the material in this class. This is not about YOUR college campus but the Landry’s school.
Do not approach this assignment thinking that there is one chapter in the text that you can use in your discussion. It is wide opened! If you believe there is discrimination, describe it. But, you describe/discuss it in the context you choose. Is there an ethical issue? Or, maybe a tort or crime? It could possibly be a violation of the Civil Rights Act or the Constitution? It is possible you don’t see anything with the Landrys that raise any issues. Then go with that and, using any legal concept, say why not. Just remember to support your opinion with a text reference that is a page number and textbook edition.
There is no right or wrong answer. Can you follow instructions and use your critical thinking skill to produce a credible answer is the goal:)
If you use a resource that is not the text, it will be counted as using no text reference.
Paragraph(s) content 5 points
Text reference 1 points (Did I say this must be to page number and edition?)
Spelling/grammar 1 points.

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your submission Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software
If one word could possibly capture Hesmondhalgh’s exhaustive rumination on Why Music Matters, it might be contradictions. Hesmondhalghaddresses many of the contradictions of music: its “ability to unite people across space and time,â€(p. 10)but also its potential role through “aesthetic experience…to divide people, rather than bring them together†(p. 133). We also discussed much in class about the way music can be personal and intimate, but also collective and public. Later, Hesmondhalgh grapples with the work of sociologist Bernice Martin as to whether rock in fact serves “conservative functions,†(p. 73) while only pages later he points to the work of historian Tom Blanning for crediting music’s “liberating power†for the greater tolerance and acceptance toward queer identities (p. 77). There are many more examples discussed of the contradictions present in our understanding of music.
At the end of his book, Hesmondhalgh asserts the following:
So how can we ensure that music’s value is maximized, that more people flourish better through music? I would like to think that answers to this question have been strongly implied throughout this whole book, by pointing to the constraints on music, as well as its potential†(emphasis added, p. 171).
In this question, your goal is to address some of these contradictions(music’s potential and its constraints) while also pointing toward how music’s value can be maximized, so that more people can flourish through music. In answering this question, here are some concepts you will need to address to some extent:
A What is collective flourishing?
b.sociable publicness and deliberative publicness (see pgs. 143, 144)
c. “consumerism, commodification, and competitivenessâ€(p. 10)
d.mediated commonality
