Document Summary

Thinking about what influences our decisions is something that has always been really intriguing to me. After watching this video, it made me analyze what factors can influence the decision someone makes to commit a criminal act. I think it is super important to realize that so many people want to know a single answer, and this video proves many are curious to what the answer may be. This has not been a recent issue, but rather one that has made people think extensively for decades. I think it is also really fascinating because although science in general has made so much progress, there is still a lot of room to improve and introduce new data and research. I had no clue that there was such a thing as the warrior gene so at the beginning of the video i was super excited to see which people that were tested would actually have the gene.

“It’s saying you must include each of the following: nonconformist” Can someone please do this for me fix it up and btw thank you a lot

When we think of nonconformity, to me this is a state of being In which an individual has a since of pride and pose about themselves. This cannot be confused with being conceited, but modest a form of modesty that brings assurance and clarity to decision and actions. While reading ralph waldo emerson essay "Self-Reliance" । began to believe that what he dems as nonconformity would be known as today "Independence" this form of Independence is really focused on one's ability to detach themselves from their surroundings, people, situation and relationships. In this life, we are taught many things that are given labels but no one really question those labels as to why they are there. The idea of thinking outside of the box is frowned upon and what we heard many times in elementary school " work the problem exactly how you see it in the back book, there is only one way to solve this problem" in which to some appeared to be foreign to this idea and created multiply ways to present answers. The Idea of nonconformity to me appears to be very important because I believe people need to have this form of comfortability and freedom to grow an never be shaped or sculpted into the liking of someone else. I believe nonconformity is the very thing that enables an individual to be human and express those feeling, lifestyles and liberties. I also realized while reading Emerson's essay that one should not yield oneself to other people who wish to control them and take from us our power. This gives that individual power which can stunt one's growth in spirit, my mind and body. We should look and strive to be different never desiring to be like others for we are who we are. We are human in our own right.

Conformity and obedience are forms of social influence, one of the subfields within social psychology. Conformity research addresses the influence the group majority has on individual and group behavior. Sherif and Asch conducted seminal studies on conformity. These researchers and others provide a clear picture of the influence of a group majority on the individual and factors that influence conformity. Research also provides insights into how a minority can influence a group (Fiske, 2014).

For this Discussion, review this week’s media program, Week 6: The Virtual Office. Consider how

Conformity occurred in the virtual office and describes the conditions that led to conformity.

With these thoughts in mind:

1. A brief description of two conditions in the media that led to conformity and explain why.

Using the current literature, explain one way to alter the conditions in the scenario to prevent conformity.

Finally, provide an example where conformity might be good and explain why.

Media Reference

(Interior of the office. Carter and Teresa are talking near the coffee pot.)

CARTER: So how's the job treating you now that you have three months under your belt?

TERESA: I really like it. The hours have been great so far, and working with cardboard has been really fascinating and informative.

CARTER: I know, right? Sometimes it feels too good to be true.

(Jeannette walks toward Carter and Teresa.)

JEANETTE: Morning guys, how's it going?

CARTER: Can't complain, really.

TERESA: Just another Monday.

JEANETTE: Well, here's a bit of news to perk you up. The big boss has asked you, Teresa, to join Carter here, Brian, and myself on our client's specialty subcommittee.

TERESA: Wow, really? What does that even entail?

JEANETTE: Well the three of us have been on this group for a little over a year now. And we basically just brainstorm new client strategies to bring in new ones, and retain our good ones. But of course when I say, "we," I mean Carter and me.

TERESA: Oh?

CARTER: Yeah, have you had much interaction with Brian?

TERESA: Only in passing really. We haven't done any projects together.

JEANETTE: Well you'll see soon enough, that even when you are on a project with him it still feels like “in passing. “

CARTER: He's what you might call "unmotivated," never comes up with ideas, never volunteers to take charge. He's basically dead weight.

TERESA: Well I guess now that you mention it, I have walked passed his desk fairly often and seen him looking at a lot of non-work-related websites.

JEANETTE: Exactly. That's all he ever does. And yet, somehow, he's a notch above us on the totem pole. I've been here for five years and I could really do a lot from his position. It's just not right.

CARTER: That's true. He's really become dead weight lately. I hear he isn't helping his group at all in the packaging presentation to the board either. It's embarrassing. I mean, I know the three of us are constantly embracing the clearly stated company work culture that promotes focused and hard work, whereas he's only promoting slacking. Frankly, I think it's infuriating.

JEANETTE: That is so not fair. Maybe the three of us should all go into the boss's office and say, "Listen, we don't think Brian is pulling his weight anymore. Maybe it's time for change," and then we can just list off everything we've noticed.

CARTER: Absolutely.

TERESA: I don't know if it'd be right for me. I'm still pretty new, and haven't really had much interaction with him.

JEANETTE: Oh no, it's fine. You've seen enough, and it'll definitely sound better coming from all three of us, right?

CARTER: I think so too. It's been a long time coming. Should I set up a meeting with the boss this afternoon? Teresa, are you free around four?

TERESA: Umm, yeah, sure. I can definitely be there.

JEANETTE: Perfect. This is going to be such a relief.

(Brian walks into the break room.)

BRIAN: Morning guys.

JEANETTE, CARTER, and TERESA: Morning Brian.

(Carter, Teresa, and Jeanette turn and walk out of the break room.)

(Onscreen Text: Multiple conditions can lead to conformity. Post a brief description of two conditions in the virtual office which led to conformity to occur and why.)
