In Mr. Rivers period 8 class, we started out the period splitting our classroom into fourths in which each group was responsible for their own actions in performing in a competition for free bagels the following day. Goals set fourth in this experiment included the construction of a shelter made of certain sheets of paper in which it needed to be self standing. A 3 by 3 inch hamburger made of different types of paper. A paper book held together by a paper clip in which told a story and had plenty of art work. Then, we had to make a mineral by making a ring out of a piece of paper about a half inch long. The finishing results included our group finishing first but having just one incorrect measurement had held us from winning the competition in total allowing another group to finish first.
Did your group success today?\
I believe that we had the most successful group because we had all of our materials first as well as a great balance of teamwork between our group. Although we didn't win we ended up completing the assignment just after them for the second time.
What Helped your group succeed? What Held you back?
The overall most helpful thing for our group was the items enlisted in the 1st envelope. This included a glue stick, 3 types of paper, scissors and a pen. This helped us because we didn't need to trade to often but, when needed we had a little to give without really loosing anything that crucial. Looking back, nothing really held our group besides the fact that one of the sides of the house was too short in which went against the directions on the paper. All other activities performed went well otherwise.
What does our experiment reveal about success in capitalism the American dream?
The activity mainly deals with the act in which negotiation skills can actually play a crucial part because it helps you as well as helping others. In which, when you get what you want your sharing the success with others making both sides happy
