The purpose of this discussion is to develop your skills in recognizing group dynamics and group structure concepts and analyzing them.
Post
For your initial post, choose 4 ideas or concepts from the assigned chapters that relate to the content of this video. [Please note—you may not use the concepts of forming, storming, norming and adjourning as separate concepts—these concepts are part of one model of group development. If you choose to use this model of group development in your discussion, it will count as one concept]
Define and explain the concepts you chose from the textbook (be sure to provide the page number in the textbook), and then explain how each connects to the video. Next, locate an article that shows how the content of the video and your assigned chapters will help you to provide social services to those in need. Reply to the posts of at least three other classmates over a period of 3-4 days. Do not post all comments on one or two days—this does not fulfill the requirements of a discussion. [Tip—when you analyze this documentary—give some thought to the number of people who were murdered and the number of people who clearly committed suicide; think also about the aftermath of the mass suicide].
