Today we played the Hula hoop game. Our task was to lift down the hula hoop together. It seemed quite easy but it was not at all. Actually I had played it before, and the trick was simple - all of us to lift down at a same speed, but it was always easier said than done. Some of us lifted the hula hoop too low while the other lifted too high. Then although we had a little arguments, finally we could still finish it. I think sometimes it is hard to avoid arguments in groups because everyone has their own opinions, but what's more important is communication. We need to listen to others' thoughts and also express our own opinions. Then through discussion, we go through all our different ideas and have a final decision.
And about the test of individualism and collectivism, I think one of the reasons that Asian have a smaller gap between the two scores is that we were taught to be humble. Since in collectivism societies, being too outstanding is not encouraged. Therefore, when we do tests like this, somehow we usually do not choose 1 (strongly disagree) to 9 (strongly agree). And for me, since most of my scores are between 4 and 7, the difference between the total scores of individualism and collectivism is not very big. And finally, thanks to KU and Michael, I enjoyed the warm up game and videos very much.
