We worked on our communication skills by having a somewhat heated debate about subjects that cause conflict in various situations specifically in the workplace and in our study environment. With that we played the monkey game. Chef had three monkeys he gave them to three students and told them to look after them and care for them. They needed feeding, attention, exercise and love (some more things but that was the basics). The idea was to demonstrate responsibility and what happens when it is -even temporarily-handed over to someone else. when you ask of someone to take on your tasks and responsibility you must expect to do the same for that person at some stage. Also if you had been taking care of two instead of one responsibility there are always consequences. Things like did you do your task properly? Where you able to give the task the necessary attention? Are you exhausted after so much work?
Something that we keep noticing is the difference in personalities and the fact that it probably causes more conflict than the acctual subjects we clash about. Things that came up and then put away was spesificaly Religion and Racism. It is realy better to just avoid these subjects because no matter how carefully you try to handle them they cause conflict anyway.
It was amazing to think that no less than three weeks aggo we could bearly speak infront of each other and then(three weeks later)we were getting quite volitle about our oppinions with the debate. Someting that i'm sure not one singular student will argue about is our personel progress.
