General background: Several backgrounds were discussed before we decided
the final one, such as start-up collaboration issues, family education and
harmony issues, campus development issues, and also the study issues. We found
even we had many emotions to express in each issue, not each one was suitable
for all of us. We needed to discuss and select the most practical and
applicable topic. Therefore we came back to the education fields that we were
acquainted with and narrowed down to the daily study issues.
We set the background in our recent final postgraduate group study time.
Since all of our team members are all full-time postgraduate students from
three different
In our final project, distinct conflicts will be expanded based on our
general background and personal preferences individually, and corresponding
resolution/management methods will be applied.
Overall logic

In many cases, it is not hard to find personalities will influence the
relationship and cooperation between us. Various education and growth environment
contributes to personality variety, which varies the behaviors and ways
students deal with problems. For instance, in terms of work delivery time,
Jenny, who is aggressive, would like to take the responsibility for integration,
but she is too strict with the time, and Kio, who is flexible, always stayed up
too late and got up after 11am. Jenny is angry with the situation that she
cannot contact with Kio before the agreed work delivery time, but Kio considers
delay is normal since the time is just for consolidation but not the deadline. For
further understanding what personality varieties, we take the virtual
communication as an example. Karol is a sensitive girl, Jenny is always
distracted, and Kio is always thoughtless concentrated. Sometimes, Kio rarely
thought too much before any words, but Karol would feel hurtful without any
expression and emotion in virtual meeting. Actually, the meaning of one
sentence can be explained differently. And Jenny might talk about something unrelated
to group work with Karol, which irritated Kio.
Personality difference seems to be independent with time conflicts and
virtual communication conflicts. However, Time and virtual communication
conflicts are practice differences, which combined individual difference with
context.
For our individual work, we give the structures of tasks. This is just an
outline of our personal tasks, you can find the detail in our specific blogs.
