Collabs In Everyday Life

I am involved in collaborations everyday whether I know it or not. Many are weaker ones where the same goals are not knowingly shared; but I think it is still important to notice when we are participating in collaborations because it happens more than we think. As we discussed in class, Duolingo is a website that people can learn a new language for free (usually that is their goal) while translating the web into many languages (website creators goal).

In my own personal life, when I go to festivals or concerts, I have the goal of having fun along with most of the people in attendance so we all try and to this together. I am also, however, collaborating with the DJ's to give them feedback on their set and the songs played in them. This then allows them to change and alter their music for their next appearance to make it as best as possible.

    I loved how you went towards a different route to use collaborations. Coming from a life where I grew up going to concerts as well, its awesome to see you are able to work with djs and other people in order to use collab in an everyday life setting. Even if the concerts are different genres you are still able to see how the artists come together to make amazing music.

Group Project 1

Image
In class, we were assigned a project to focus on collaboration and the formation of groups. Were able to choose our own teams and our task was to create a presentation of a group we found (for the class) We were asked to use Tuckman's five stages to analyze and interpret these groups. There were a lot of good presentations; but my personal favorite was the one some group did about the movie The Longest Yard. Greats videos with accompanying explanations to make a great presentation. My group, however, did the film Rouge One. This was a good example because in all star wars movies there is a group that comes together to try and fight evil. This movie was a little stranger though, especially for the adjourning stage, because this was everyone's death because once they fulfilled their goal, they all were killed. My part was norming and I thought I did a decent job! Videos would've helped and I was a little nervous but it was fun and honestly cool to realize how life is pretty m

NYC Trek

This past week, I along with 14 other of my peers were given the opportunity to travel to New York. We were able to get first hand experience of life in the city and visit 10 different marketing firms in two days! Huge thank you to Marisa Allen and Eller College of Management for presenting us with this great opportunity. I also wanted to thank Jet.com, Abasi Rosoborough, Sakara Life, VaynerMedia, NBC Universal, Cognito, GAP, HAVAS, Usabilla , and Simplifeye for hosting us and giving us insight to what different careers in marketing look like. The following are pictures, a brief description, and my personal thoughts/experience with the company.                                                                                     Jet.com is an E-Commerce shopping site worldwide that aims to simplify online shopping. A rising star in the industry, they sell a variety of products all in one place to target consumers across the market. We were given the chance to visit their of

TopHat

Image by Nikodem Nijaki via Wikimedia In class, we started using the website TopHat. I personally have used this platform before, and honestly, I am not a fan. We would use it in one of my old classes to answer questions we had no idea the answer to because the class was very weird and confusing. However, haven't seen it used like we use it now in my Esoc class. Now, I read a passage or two and answer questions that help me reflect on what I just read. This is very useful for me and makes it easier to retain information. I also find this subject much more interesting than the last class I used TopHat in, so I most likely pay more attention as well. One thing we read about was Civil Inattention. This is the "cultural norm whereby strangers who are in close proximity refrain from imposing on each other, staying out of one another's business to respect privacy and personal boundaries." I never knew there was a name for such a thing. I feel as humans, if we choose to
