IFP Third Reflection

A couple of sessions ago, we did an activity called the Jahs and Kays, where we were sorted into 2 different groups (countries) with varying financial conditions. I was in the group with the worse condition. We had to collaborate with other members of the group to create a monument for a national event when the other group came in and demanded to help us. Wary of their help we entered into discussions to ensure that they would not take any undue advantage of us. This helped me develop my communication and negotiation skills as I was one of the 3 members sent to the other groups to explain our beliefs and situation.

In the explanation to my team members, I realised that I wanted the other group to help our country as soon as possible. However, the other people in my group wanted to ensure that they had fully scrutinised every aspect of the other group’s plan to help us before agreeing. I wanted to present my own opinion to the other group as I was one of the chosen delegates to speak to them. However, my principles were against this decision. I believe that the wishes of the majority must be respected. So, my moral principles affected my decision to not go against my group and present my own opinion. However, this decision backfired as we were left without help by the end of the discussion. Thus, I think the interference of my morals did not help. As a result, I believe I have become less principled and more willing to go against my morals.

Kahaani Second Reflection

In Kahaani, we have started to teach our choreography. For the first few sessions I split the main group into 2 separate groups. Then my partner and I taught each group one of the dances. We taught it progressively. So, for the first session, I taught them (my group) the first half of the dance that only they would be learning. Then for the next session, I taught them the second half of that dance. The third session was spent on understanding the formations that the dance was meant to have and performing according to it. After that, I ensured that they practiced in that formation for a week. That week was majorly spent on trying to perfect the movements in addition to ensuring that everyone was in sync and in formation.Thus, I can successfully say that I have shown initiative and planning in the entire process since I split them up in two separate groups while ensuring that there would be no conflict between the members of the dance so that the dance is not affected and the dancers are able to perform to the best of their abilities. For example: Ensuing that everybody got a group they would feel comfortable and safe in.In the future, I will continue to focus on planning and initiative as there are more formations that have to be created, movements taught and the lighting sorted out.

I also had to consider the ethical implications of my actions while creating the formations. This took a lot of consideration and  planning since the ethics of each decision had to be considered. I was caught between the idea of ensuring that everybody filled a place according to their merit and the idea of ensuring that everybody had a chance to be at the front of the formation.This was a very hard decision for me as above all it was the complex idea of equal opportunity for all and merit based opportunities. Thus, it was quite difficult to come upon a decision. I also had to simultaneously keep in mind that conflicts could arise regarding the positions they were given. Thus, this process involved a bit of ethical decision. I finally arrived on the idea of equal opportunity for all as that is what my moral values dictated. So, I completely based my decision on my values in a way. I was also in conflict with my partner due to this decision as her moral values were for merit based opportunity. We solved this through asking a neutral party who voted for equal opportunity.
