Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration
01 – Do you want or need respect?
I want respect – for me it is necessary as a human to be respected, acknowledged, accounted for.
I also need respect – for example, when driving a car, drivers need to respect one another and follow the road rules. This is crucial to avoid accidents and death.
02 – Is there anybody in your class who does not give you respect?
I think most people in my class/life give me respect. Sometimes I am not respected by strangers/people who don’t know me, whether it be in a shop or a pub…
03 – If so, how do you feel about them?
Being disrespectful to another human is rude.
04 – Is there anybody in your class who you do not respect?
No. I believe everyone deserves respect despite what he or she is like/what they do and whether I agree with it. I don’t always respect person’s actions, but as we are all humans, I think everyone should do others the decency of respect.
05 – If so, how could you change your feelings to be more naturally respectful?
Be more reflective; separate persons actions from the person.
06 – When do you find yourself not listening in class?
When I am trying to multi-task, when the conversation trails off.
07 – What sort of people bore you?
Self indulgent, self-absorbed people.
08 – What sort of people are bored by you?
People who don’t take the time to try to understand or care about what you are saying/doing. Could be someone that has opposite interests to myself.
09 – Do you ever find that other students or teachers are not listening to you?
Yes. Sometimes due to others’ lack of manners and at other times I think because I am quieter by nature.
10 – If so, How could you improve this situation?
Persist with sharing thoughts and ideas.
Being Supportive
In regard to creative collaboration:
1 . Do you get the support you need?
In relation to creative collaboration I think I get support by way of direction and encouragement. People in class are always willing to give constructive feedback on my work or help me out if I get stuck.
Eg. Many times others have shown me helpful shortcuts or techniques in design programs.
2. What percentage of students in your your origination class do you support?
100%. On a regular basis, I usually bounce ideas off one or two other students, but as a group we all support each other well with the tasks at hand. Eg. Making the exhibition poster, we all had to arrange a time which considered everyone’s agendas to take the photos for it.
3. How?
If anyone needed help, support, or feedback all they would need to do it ask, and I’d be in there doing what I could for them. I am a good listener and quite observant so often, asking is not even necessary.
4. What about the others?
Although I support everyone in the class, I could actively support more people by encouraging communication. Eg. Sharing thoughts, hearing thoughts, contributing ideas.
5. Could you improve the way you support others?
Yes, I can communicate with others more and continue listening and being understanding. Eg. As above.
6. How?
Listen, be understanding and encourage communication.
