After reading my teammates thoughts on the project, I knew I was dealing with a group of wall breaking bridge builders. All of my teammates recognized the importance of being “open” when workings as a group. “In order to receive fruitful input from all team members it is vital that all ideas and comments are expressed, this will enhance the team productivity. (Saboy82)” “Being open with others will in fact make others be open with you, and thus benefit the relationship by building trust. (Gym411)” My team also hopes to use its new consciousness of communication skills such as self-disclosure, impression management, and “nexting” to ensure our group is one big bridge and not one big wall. These skills will steer us clear of communication breakdowns similar to the experiences of Gym411, where frustration with his group led to Gym411 shutting out the other members and doing all the work alone.

You’ve made a couple of intriguing moves here – involving consciousness, the metaphor from our textbooks’ title (bridges/walls), and the role of time: how the future is linked to the past from the present, or, how the past plays out in the future because of its reference in the present, or . . .
we’ll see how it turns out, eh?

Hello Spiceynoodlesoup,
This is random, but are you at all sometimes confused by what Steph replies in our blogs, or is it just me?
“…how the past plays out in the future because of its references in the present…” Whoa lost me there lol.
