Group Vs Individual work
Let us try to figure out. working individually and as a group. which one is harder? yea, it depends one which perception that we are looking into. if you work alone, you of course have to suffer ALONE (hehehe). However, the power of decision making is in your hands. you can do whatever you want and you don't even have to bother whether your members are agree with you or not and it is not a must to have a discussion with them. no communication, no tolerance involved, no interaction and everything is a no-no-no.
However, if you are working as a group, all the above "Nos" have to turn the other way round. there have to be communication , tolerance, discussion and interaction between members. Also, the power of decision making must be shared with the rest of your members. Any amendments, updates, changes must let the rest of your members to be informed. UNLESS. you say, "sorry la...i have no time to inform you all, this is urgent" or the whole thing is just very bad and the best option is change everything. Nevertheless, inform your group members before you do anything is the best. show to your members that you respect them as well that they still "exist" =) this is very important,okay. if you don't inform your group members, there will be no discussion to solve the problem. you might think, "my solution is okay what, i can just use it" this is true if you go "SOLO", but this is false when it comes to group work. who knows? after some discussions, together with your members, you can come out with a better idea. of course, there will be some arguments as this is a norm when it comes to group discussion. that's why tolerance must be involved. try to listen to others' ideas and if you still think your idea is the best, prove it to your fellow members, support your idea with relevant information or evidence (wah, almost like a method to write an essay. hahahah). of course your members will listen to you. isn't this is much better? i know this is troublesome. That's why a lot of people say, it's hard to work together when everyone has their own personal view. However, no matter what, we have to learn to work as a group to complete a task TOGETHER.
