ED. Journal - group working

There is a saying that "one Chinese is a dragon, two Chinese are moth. " to show how bad Chinese people are at group working.
It's true. Group working is an art and is hard.
In Chinese culture, most of time, a successful group working turns to be a great leadership model. Here is the graphic about group work created by a Chinese German Liu Yang about how different the culture is.

Blue is leadership in Germany and Red represents China.

well...so the problem comes up when we were working as a group:
It's a communication issue...not in the intellectual level, but a mental level: I will ignore the communication if the work can be done by myself without communicating. --- It's bad and I keep reminding myself about that: communicate! people won't know what you are thinking if you don't tell them.

I will suggest the Chinese student union to put the "group working" in the "new student orientation" with a title "Don't be moth if you can be a dragon".

So, from the PAMO project, I learned a lot from group working. It's all about communication and organization and our role and attitude will vary according to the time, place and people in the groups.

It's fun to work in group actually...
