Group atmosphere or Aloneness!


When I refer to myself inner, I realize that I often prefer to be alone in conducting the assignment. However, the main reason is not clear for I myself, I think it refers to my previous learning. As I can see here, in Malaysia, students get used to discuss, argue, exchange their views, and talk over the courses and study subjects together. On the contrary, I never remember that I had such experience. In Iran, it is not common that the lecturers give the grouping assignment. Even if two students or more present a group project, usually it means that job related to just one of them. Probably, that’s the reason why Iranian athletes are more successful in singular, like wrestling and weight lifting not in team grouping such as football, basketball and so on.
Last semester, I experienced the first serious grouping assignment. I was with mieza and faza. It was great for me, but I am not sure they also have the same idea. I distinguished what easily tasks divide between us without any extra burden and what a beauty we covered our knowledge together.
Formerly, I could never trust anyone to do the assignment except myself. But during that experience, I realized my friends see the task with different view and they consider the other aspect of it.
Generally, there is a pleasant sensation that someone feels he or she belongs to a group, with a joint responsibility and the same aim. I suppose in grouping jobs the most important thing is finding the person who can match easily. In this way, demands of one person dissolve in all ideas. ‘I’ become a meaningless word and group and its properties born. Each person works according to the achievements of the group and finally success belongs to all.

Hi Honey,
I agree with this idea that teamwork is much better than aloneness, but besides the members within a team should be somehow matched and have high responsibility to their shared job as well.
Nice Blog ;)

yup..it's good experience for me too.
lots of knowledge can be shared when discussing in group.
Although sometimes the discussing topic might not related to the project/assignment...Hhehe..

I had this feeling also during my time in primary school. I loved to work alone... I did not trust my mates. However.. later I learned ... two heads are better than one. Working in a team makes me realized that my teammates can help me to learn better.
