Favorite Concept

Pick a favorite concept that we have covered through this course and post about it. Explain the concept to refresh our memories. Tell the class why you have chosen this concept, and what it is you like about it. 

We have learned important material throughout this course. If I had to choose one topic that I greatly enjoyed learning about, I would choose diversity and how it can help a group reach success because diversity is present in many groups that I have joined. Diversity is the "secret weapon" of a group. People become involved in groups because they may share common hobbies. For example, I join basketball leagues because I like playing with people that also share the same interest. Even though we all play basketball, diversity within the group is still present. A variety of ideas are brought to the table because everyone comes from a different background. Allowing different input gives us options that we can try and learn from. Ideas can always strengthen a group even if it is doesn't work because the group can take that mistake and use it to improve. Diversity should be included in every group for success!

  1. Hey!

    I like the concept that you picked. I also find it really important to have diversity within a group. Not only does it open doors for different ideas and viewpoints, but I like how you described diversity within a group as a "secret weapon". I think there is diversity everywhere, especially here in the Bay Area, and it is something that we all need to learn to accept and adapt too, especially when it comes to issues with work or school. Diversity can be somewhat difficult to overcome, but only if the group members are not open-minded. Otherwise, I think it opens up a lot of space for creativity to take place. Nice job on your post!
