Chapter 1 Introducing Group Communication
Introductory Exercises
Think of five words that express what you want to do and where you want to be five years from now. Share your five words with your classmates and listen to their responses. What patterns do you observe in the responses? Write a paragraph that addresses at least one observation.
With the results of Introductory Exercise 1 in mind, please list what you could do and where you could be in five years without support from or collaboration with anyone other than yourself. Share and compare your results with classmates.
Create a list of at least ten groups to which you belong. Families, churches, friends, clubs, online groups, and even this class count! Share and compare your results with classmates.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. —Attributed to Margaret Mead
