Togetherness


  • What is the most absurd thing you have ever been a part of?
  • What are the dangerous of group-think?
  • Share a story about a time when you became close with strangers over a common issue.
  • Is this guy doing something that is good, or something that is distracting and useless?  Why?
  • Do you think that you could network something like what is seen in the video?  (you must wear pants at school)

  1. I think he is doing a good thing because we all have so much to do like work or other this we forget to smile and have fun. The high five jokes was one good way to get people to smile. I think that if I put something on like that people will hear it on the new and on the paper. But one of the dangers of group thing is that people might not like what you are doing. But I believe that if you want to go ahead and do this then come and find me .

  2. The dangerous part of group thinking is that it might cause violence and harm to others around you. Riots are very dangerous to everyone within the community, and can frighten others that live in smaller town and cities but the cause of the riots is from group thinking. Group thinking doesn’t always cause violence, it can be very reliable and helpful if it’s not used in a bad way. The guy in this video was showing how it isn’t a bad thing. He was proving a point by saying using group thinking in a creative way can be fun and entertaining. I think what he was doing is a good example to people of all ages because he says all of us like to have fun, and group thinking can be used for many things even if it’s to have fun.
