Today's class was entertaining as always, these simulations just keep getting funner and interesting (quiet eye opening). During the first part of the simulation my team, BETA, were learning the language of the culture ,and the trading rules. Simple enough, not quiet it took me awhile to say the numbers right(Cabe=2...?). The second part took some getting used because there was still some confusion on what and how things had to be said, for example Yair whom I traded with first said the number wrong(Yaba Yaba=2?..Nope lol) and trying to correct each other was quite funny because we weren't sure of what to do or say. Any who that part was entertaining, following that came the part where each team had to send expatriates of their teams. When I left team BETA to meet team ALPHA, I was handed 3 cards and chips, and I guess there was a piece of paper but I disregarded it. Compared to some of my other team members I was never hugged =( and that made me EVALUATE them as BIPOLAR because they were sometimes nice but sometimes not. And it wasn't until the rules of the game were explained that I felt judgmental. Professor Osland went over DIE (Description, Interpretation, Evaluation), one should only be descriptive, not interpretative because when entering a new situation or culture we can't comprehend what we are seeing, and never be evaluative because I am not someone who should be judging. I need to learn to be less evaluative because it would help in adapting to new situations.
