Keeping ourselves accountable
Think about your trait and the whole class and how we will keep each other accountable to our values that we have created? What will we do if we see or hear someone not following our vales? What will be the best way for us to get people back on track?(Trust, Participation, Safe openness)

I think we should all offer a nice, friendly reminder to whoever is not following the values. if our class is open with eachother, if communication is present, then the best way to get people back on track would be to just talk to them and let them know they're not following the values we've made.

I honestly have no idea. I feel like if we try to make people be nice or open then they'll just get annoyed and stay out of groups. I think it'd be best to just let them learn on their own to be accountable for themselves and how they treat others.

If we look back at our previous blogs, We went over our values of our expectation of class, clock talks, importance of class, and trait. Now, looking at this blog topic, I can see redundancy in these questions and in my answers. However, this topic asks me of how to keep each other accountable to our value that we have created.
ReplyDeleteI say, "Since not all professions require such solution to this topic, we shouldn't worry so much of others but yourself." If someone's not following our values, leave him/her be. Nobody should dictate others.

I don't think that someone can tell others to be accountable to values because if they don't believe in the values then performing them can be as hard. If they don't follow values I think we can't force them to follow them, but their habits shouldn't hurt others. I think as long as people open up and trust others I think things will run smooth.
ReplyDeletei think that we have all thought about this and a friendly reminder should be enough. sometimes we forget all that we need to do

If it were me getting off tract I'd want the whole class to pitch in and help me. I feel like that's what we would need to do if someone wasn't following our values. As a class we would have to come together and help the person respect the rest of us.

Some people may not realize that they are not following the values, so as classmates we need to let them know. We should politely remind them of the values they are not demonstrating, especially making sure it does not come off as confrontational. Make sure the person does not feel like it is the whole class yelling at them. Explain that there are times that we have all forgotten about a value, and that it happens to everyone.

I don't really think there is a way to make people follow these traits. If they would be open to criticism, they would already be following the traits of trust and openness, and if they have those, the other traits follow closely behind. If they're not open, there's really no way to get across to them. I believe that we have a good group, so hopefully we won't encounter any problems.

This can be tricky seeing that morals and values tend to be realtive; while we may have a common consensus on certain things that are acceptable in class, i have to agree with Cathy: some people may not feel that they have to be accountable at alp because they don't think that they have done anythig that deserves reprimand. Honestly, while they say that peer pressure is a bad thing, we may all just have to stick to what we feel is right and have conformity be our only hope of a uniform system of class morals.

I don't think there is a positive way to make people follow these traits. I hope that people would just follow them and we would not need a way to make people follow them.

I feel like we shouldn't stress too much about it if someone does it once. You never know if they're having a bad day or whatever. I know its not right to take your anger out on someone else, but everyone does it even if we don't mean it. I think that if the person continues we should give them a reminder and tell them nicely that they aren't fallowing our class values like people previously said. That way no ones feelings are hurt and drama doesn't start.

If we keep reminding people to follow the the traits and they already have a bad attitude, it could make things worse, but if we know someone who is just getting off task, a simple reminder could be the solution. I think it all depends on who we're talking to.

I think that we should remind the people who do not like to follow our values because they are in our class and we always have to help or support each other in order to make appropriate class. We could just let them know how important our values are and then they would respect them.

If we keep showing the traits and coming up with examples maybe we can keep people stay on track and cooperate.
ReplyDeleteElena Knudsen
I think if a person isn't following the values that we made then the only way to let them know and help them be back on track is just to talk to them. If we have that communication with each other nobody will be left out.
ReplyDeleteKlaudia Zahuta
We can keep each other accountable to the values we listed by being an example ourselves. If we commit to the list, then others will follow. If someone is being very stubern, and not following the code, then we can tell them, or let them realize it on their own eventually.

I think if the people isn't following the values we have, we should use a nice and friendly ways to tell them, we should try to talk to the them. I believe people in this class will not have bad attitude if we kindly remind them.
ReplyDeleteAnne Hou
i think if people dont follow along with the values we should do an activity that would stress the importance of the value
ReplyDeletecatherine quinlan
I think that if people in the class aren't following these values, we should have one person nicely tell them and if it persists have a class activity or talk about it.

trust is one of those things you can't tell people to do, it's something you have to build for yourself. if someone told me to trust them, knowing myself i would say "okay, yea of course" but in the back of my mind i would always have that feeling they might go back on their word. i think this class will help all of us learn to trust each other not only when we're doing physical exercises, but with our personal problems as well.

In my opnion if we are all set on our values any mishaps will take care of them selfs. If there is an issue I would think that a gentle correction should fix the probelm.

In order to trush one another we need to make eachother feel as if we are safe to come to eachother for help. Even the littlest things prove you can trust someone like commenting them or giving them a heads up about something. If you see someone talking bad about one another, then that person obviously can not trust the other and that should not be going on. People need to step in and deffend one another to proove more trust

Our groups trait was participation, and I think if we see someone not participating, we need to remind them that we can't finish certain activities without their help. Hopefully this will get them to participate more.
