Create The Future

It seems more often than not that we often settle for a job we may not really want. While the job may be satisfying, its not are true passion. Why do we settle for these jobs? Maybe we are pushed by are parents to have a certain career or we see other people who come before us and aspire to be like them. Whatever it may be, it has become a norm for society. I'm not the type of person to settle for anything less. I want to do whatever I desire to do because I know that will being the most pride into my life. I think, observe and listen a lot. From what I see people are often in the wrong careers, they don't aspire to do something there passionate about and to me there is a lot wrong with that. I don't blame the individual for that, I blame our society for creating that. Everyone should have there own dreams, and go after that dream. For me I want to create a better society, a society where people find common passions and are able to bond over them, I wan't to be a social entrepreneur.

There's no secret that social media has had a huge impact on our world. Weather it be Facebook, instagram, twitter, or vine. We all get pleasure by connecting through these websites. What is it that we like so much about these sites. Is it the fact that we are able to connect with just about anyone, or keep a close eye on our family and friends, or mane if just offers a get away for individuals. It offers a new perspective on things and it's all sitting right at your finger tips. The social media world has a lot of potential and it's still relatively new. It has already revolutionized the way we communicate and connect with people and I personally believe its only the beginning. We all have the power to create and creating is a beautiful thing. To take an idea and make it into something bigger than yourself, to move that idea forward for the common good of society. To see individuals prosper and find there passion on this planet. Social media already has a huge impact on our world and it will continue to do so.

I would love to create a social media site that revolutionizes the way we communicate just how Facebook did. A lot of people don't see the potential in themselves when all they have to do is follow a dream they are passionate about. Thats what I want to create. Something that allows individuals to connect and collaborate with others on what they are truly passionate about. They are able to enter a network where they can collaborate on an individual project or bounce ideas off one another to create something that has the potential to change the world. It's a new way to connect with people, with an emphasis on how we go about business. A much more down to earth version where we are able to connect with anyone all over the network. Through this site individuals will be able to see what other projects people have collaborated on and what it took to get there. Such as what positions were held within the project. What were focus areas and what areas were difficult to advance forward.

We often hold too much information from one another. However information, knowledge and learning is power. If a site can provide continuous amounts of information while at the same time allowing one another to connect with each other it has the potential to change and revolutionize our world. Not only that it will give people the ability to find something they are truly passionate about.

An Ethical Delimma

The Dilemma: Aaron Craft is in your psychology class and has befriended you. The final four is coming up and he will not be able to attend class. He is extremely stressed about the midterm that is coming up and has asked if you could help him cheat. You do not want to lose his friendship but at the same time you don't want him to be stressed. After the exam the teacher approaches you and asks if Aaron cheated on the test. What do you do?

Truth vs Loyalty: Are you going to be honest to the professor or loyal to Aaron Craft. My group and I said we'd be loyal to Aaron Craft because we understand where students come from. We know that school can be very challenging and not all of us have time to complete all necessary material. Especially in this situation with Aaron being in the final your there is extra pressure on him to perform on the court.

Individual vs. Community: Are we more worried about our academic career or are we worried about Ohio State as whole? Academics always come first at Ohio State thus we need to take this very seriously. However we also love our university and would go to great lengths to see this university succeed. Personally if it came down to possibly being on probation or suspended university, I would tell the truth about Aaron Craft. All though Aaron does represent us very well, I need to first be concerned about my academic standing.

overall there are certain things that I would assist with Arron with first to make sure he can lead our team to the final four but if my academic career is in jeopardy I'd consider myself before I'd consider Aaron.

Group Project - Cool Runnings

For our dynamic group we looked at the movie Cool Runnings. Cool Runnings had very interesting dynamics because of the unique personalities and individual goals for each person. Although each person has a different purpose by the middle of the movie they are able to find common ground and realize the bigger purpose, which is to be well respected by their home country and competition. Since they don't all strive towards a similar purpose there forming stage is very rocky.

The storming stage is a big issue because of conflict amongst individual group members specifically between Yul and Junior. They both come from different back rounds and have complete different purposes. Yul will do anything to get out of Jamaica while Junior is fighting for himself and what he believes is right and because of this they often clash. Darius is the initiator and a determined leader. His strong focus allows him to hold the group together and realize what the common goal should be. As the movie progresses the individual group members are able to get over their egos and strive to reach the overall purpose.

Sanka's light hearted personality acts as the glue to make all members come together. Once they are able to fight for each other and believe in one another, this pushes them forwarded towards accomplishing their goal. The individual characteristics of each member are what makes them a dynamic and successful group. If they were all similar they would not be able to succeed in reaching the olympics, but because of there uniqueness they make themselves, their country, and rest of the competition proud
