Teen Suicide

In our class, we were assigned a Collaborative Project 2, in which includes a video as well as presentation. My groups topic is teen suicide. A touchy subject but one that is able for people of all ages to understand it and understand the affects that come along with it. My group has worked together before so when it comes to roles throughout the project, it will be evenly distributed for jobs. This specific topic will allow us to have a better understand and give a presentation for all to open their eyes and realize this situation that occurs everyday. As teen suicide is a highly discussed topic in today's generation, this topic will be something that includes a lot of data research as well as interviews and opinions through others. I am very excited to work through collaborations to find out more on this subject. According to kidsheatlh.com "The tragedy of a young person dying because of overwhelming hopelessness or frustration is devastating to family, friends, and community. Parents, siblings, classmates, coaches, and neighbors might be left wondering if they could have done something to prevent that young person from turning to suicide" (kidsheatlh.com).

    Suicide in general is a touchy subject to discuss, especially when it leaves others wondering what went wrong and if they could of prevented it. I suppose there could be different remedies for teen suicides vs. other suicide situations so I look forward to seeing how your group approaches teen suicide and if the understandings that you guys come to are things that can only be applied to teen suicides. Is good to hear that your same group from project one worked out and wants to do another project. Good Luck!

Collaboration in Hospitals, I think so

Image
(This is my makeup blog post from Nov. 2)  Last weekend a situation occurred where I resulted in the hospital. Due to this, I learned a lot from my time being there. Not only do I now know EVERYTHING about medical terms and medicine but I am more aware of the standings the workers have in their office space. You never really put in perspective how hard working each member of the hospital is and with how much hospitality they treat you.  As I was sitting there for the various days, it was presented to my attention that I noticed the slight bit of collaboration used within the work space. For example, I had a nurse with me at all times and if a problem rose with me, she reported to the internal doctor team in order to get the correct medical attention I needed. You never really think about how in everyday life, one is able to see the use of collaboration. Even if it is for tiny situations, it can affect a situation in such a positive way. It is a sense of coming together to make any

Tuckman's 5 Stages of Group Development: Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, Adjouring. We see this in everyday life and when thinking on how people in my personal life are affected by the 5 stages, my 16 year old brother Matthew is the first thought to come into my head. Growing up and having the dream of following my cousins sports path, his only goal was to succeed in lacrosse. His freshman year of high school, he tried out for his schools lacrosse, making the varsity team, at only 14 years old. Playing with boys who are seniors in high school was intimidating, even I felt nervous for him. Walking into a newly formed team for the new school year, Matthew knew he needed to play his best. Telling me the stories of his first few days made my heart sink to the ground. But as the days went on he told me that the team that was "formed", collected all the boys strengths in order to collaborate and make the best team in the region. Dealing with the stage of "storming&

Throughout the past few weeks, as a class, we separated into our groups and have been working on our collaboration projects. For these projects we incorporated situations, movies or anything that correlates with Tuckman's 5 Stages of Group Development. For example, my group worked on the Disney movie "Cool Running's". We as a group sat down, using the 5 stages forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning and picked out specific clips from the film. This really helped with the understanding of the 5 stages and how it is seen in everyday life. I now am able to put two and two together in certain everyday life situations when wanting to piece the 5 stages of group development to it. Photo Courtesy of IMDb.com
