Trust & creative partnerships - GROUP EXERCISE

PART 1: Who’s Got a Dollar?

                         •  Demo

                         •  Silent Reflection

1.    Would you volunteer your money - that is, take risk?

·         By generally, I would but if it takes risk I wouldn’t.

2.    How did you feel?

·         Every time when I volunteer my money I feel good but sometime, I don’t know where is my money goes or it would be useful for others or that person just lie to me to get money, I feel a little bit worry.

3.    Did you feel a little sheepish?

·         No.

4.    What about when the ante was upped to ten dollars?

·         It depends on what they take my money for.

5.    Twenty?

·         It also depends on what they take my money for. If I don’t know the exactly purpose of that volunteer, I wouldn’t volunteer a lot of money.

6.    Did you think the volunteers were foolish?

·         No, It is a good thing.

1.ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

2. TRUST

1.ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

 The feeling
 I feel very uncomfortable because we have to stand very close and have to with each other hands. When I look at friend's eyes that make me feel more uncomfortable.









The feeling
 I feel uncomfortable because we have to stand very close and we are not close friend. Sometime I laugh but I dont know why. 

2. TRUST

The feeling
 I more comfortable than above because we have to stand not too close but  still I laugh without cause.





The feeling
 I feel comfortable with this one because we stand quite far and I cant see friend's eyes obviously but still laugh sometime.







From the activities in class, I a bit wonder that "why we feel uncomfortable we will move" and that's true. We always move when we feel uncomfortable or shy. I did a little bit of research about why we feel uncomfortable when we look at someone eyes and find that almost everyone is the same. Here is some opinions about it that i found in Answer Yahoo. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071003131535AABswVc

This is a video about eye contact during a job interview. It is a fun video but it's true!! The lady answers the question but her eyes didn't look at the interviwer. She just look around and answer and that is many people do when they be in the situation that we have to talk to someone that we are not familar with.
