 Presentation 1 Review

To start this off I wanna say I believe every group did an amazing job and we all worked very hard. group one started off these presentations with chapter 3 in the textbook. They discussed intercultural communication which in other terms is how do you speak to people from different ethnicity's and beliefs. they started off  by explaining to us what dominant culture and biculturalism is. They then quickly discussed themes like cultural identity by going over race, ethnicity, and gender. A couple of my favorite part include when they go into power distance, potential barriers, and open-mindedness.

Group 2 followed up this presentation with an also amazing demonstration on chapter 9- Communicating in groups. The presentation started with a quick explanation of all the different types of groups for example, families, social groups/friends or peers, support groups and many others. They discussed something I find very important which is how to have a helpful and healthy group. Some helpful tips include setting ground rules, and norms. 

Finally group 3 presented chapter 10- Group Leadership and Problem Solving. I believe this chapter is the most important because a lot of people want to be leasers but do not really understand what they should be doing to improve the whole group. It also taught everyone how to conduct good group meetings. I remember when I had to do my research for the part of group dynamics I was very interested reading into it and learning about all the factors that effect how someone will be in a group.
