Group project

This project was divided in the group making each person to research and gather information about what was assigned to them. I like how the group is working individually but as a group yet. We have to organize and put the information together. I feel very confident about what we have done and how we distributed the work to each person in the group.

Community observation

I observed the dinning hall and the people that work there.
- There is racial, gender and age diversity among the people that work there.
- People are respectful with the students when they work but they are very informal when they talk to each other.
- They use uniform to work.
- They communicate very informal to each other and act spontaneous with things that happen to their surroundings like every person would act. It is a little strange because it tells me that they don't have a strict rules in the working zone.
- They talk about their life outside work commands.
- Middle class people by the way the express their selves and act when they don't have a student to sever the food. I noticed the shoes that they wear to work is not new or a simple tennis shoes.

It takes a tribe David Berreby

David Berreby says that students " don't just attend a college; they join its tribes." I agree. I always hear people telling me to enjoy college life. I think that is the essence of being in college; we are here in a different group of people that want a better future to theirselves. We start a group call Bridgewater State University. Then, we choose a specific group call, in my case, chemistry. Futhermore, I have my specific group call Professional Chemistry. Without knowing, I've chosen a path to follow with a specific group or like David Berreby would say "tribe". We end up creating groups to share who we are, to express what we are and to see different aspect of different people in the same surroundings as us. That is, indeed, a comunity.
