#3 Learning

Tuesday class period we discussed further insight on the case study and insight on trustworthiness. I have further increased my knowledge on the article and other aspects of the class period. These are the insights that I learned within my group and class discussion.
1-Trustworthiness have components of character, competence, and committment. Those three elements are weak but when they are combined you have trustworthiness. Brother Adams quoted another, "The unexamined life is not worth living". I feel that this means to analyze your real motives in life and if that is not done and practiced, it is not worth living.
2-I was introduced to the "donkey" theory. You either butter 'em up, beat "em up, or control and focus. Take the reigns in the situation and control the "animal" or the situation.
3-When we discussed the case study on the spaceship we, as a group, decided that there was a fear to take responsibility when there was a problem. There was so much focus on the mission that they were not focusing on the team and taking is at a whole. I believe there was a fear which led to lack of trust with one another, and then led to lack of communication and the whole case crashed.
Americans are very individualistic and not willing to take the blame.
