Consider a team that you are familiar with - either by being a member of the team, a team leader, or a bystander.  What were the team's goals? How productive was the team?   How did the team members interact with one another?   Apply at least two major concepts or theories of teams and teamwork discussed in lecture or in the book (e.g., principles of effective teams; team member socialization; team diversity; functions of different team members) to explain why the team was or wasn't effective.

Please respond to this post with your own opinion, must be at least 150-250 words.

I was drawn to the question, "Are humans powerful or weak?" for many reasons; the first reason being that humans are a defined group of shared characteristics but that there are certainly drastic differences between many humans. So while I do think that some humans have a lot of power, there are humans with very little to no power; I'm thinking humans in poverty, humans of discriminated race and sex, humans in 3rd world countries, etc.. That being said, I think everyone has the power to do something, to be something, to change something, to make an effect on someone/something and in that sense all humans have the potential to be powerful; but having the potential to be powerful and being powerful are not the same.

The other reason I am drawn to this question is because sometimes I think the power we have as humans is also our weakness. And I think this in terms of environment and in humanity. We have the power and the choice to do what we want with the environment currently. However the poor choices we are making solely because, “we can”, are a huge weakness to our own survival. Maybe if there was competition from other animals and we didn’t have so much power to populate and spread we wouldn’t have caused extinction of animals or global warming.

In terms of humanity, I think the problem lies with the uneven distribution of power that leaves few powerful and all too many powerless. For example, America has the power to help refugees and undocumented immigrants, whom have so little power over everything in their lives; yet we choose to use our power to turn these humans away. I understand we can’t help everyone and we certainly all can’t “be even.” But who gets to decide who has power and who doesn’t?

The Four Loves by C.S Lewis

1. Define “gift-love” and “need-love” (1). Which is more like God? What problem does Lewis run into when he tries to determine which is best? (2-4)

2. Explain the difference between ‘nearness-by-likeness’ and ‘by- approach’ (4-5). How does the distinction guard help us guard against the tendency of “every human love, at its highest ... to claim for itself a divine authority” (7-8)?
